Tommy, that may have been the dimensions of a 2"X4" at one time but now they are 1 1/2" by 3 1/2".

Don't forget the 1/2" of warp in the boards because they weren't dried correctly before being strapped down to the pallet...

The Yello-Jaket Bee Shield 72 variation showed up today. This is my 2nd one. Very clean and a little stiff.

Tang stamp and my dog wondering what I'm doing.

Today I added this pocket knife to my CAMILLUS 72 variation family. Another, my fifth, McGrew ARKANSAS, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "HillBilly Classic", "whittler" pocket knife. It came with the box. It is is near mint condition and required no cleaning. The box is in excellent condition. I took a few pictures and here they are.

Excellent pick up Skip. And it is clean, really NOS. I have a soft spot for those as my dad lived in Glenwood until he was 12.They then moved to Texas. I still have kinfolks there but the ones I knew are all dead now. Again congrats.

Excellent pick up.....

Thank you Floyd. It's a bonus when you can connect a knife, or anything for that matter, with a personal memory or memories.

[carrmillus]

...amazing to find one in that condition after all these years!!!......... ..................

Excellent find and another fine addition to the McGrew collection you've got!

Received this earlier in the week. Another addition to my 72 clone collection. A Camillus 1047 Scout Swell Center Whittler. The seller I bought this from sold feminine products & makeup, and only had two knives, this being one of them. I had asked the seller if she happened to have the box. As good of condition I was hoping they had the box, but no dice.

Received this earlier.....

That's a BEAUTY, Smitty. I especially like the color of the handles.
A VERY nice CAMILLUS 72 variation.

,,,,,,,I have to be honest!!.......if it's not Rogers Bone, it "just don't look right"!!!!................... ....................

[jerryd6818]

It appears to be a double line. Is that correct?

[carrmillus]

.....looks like a single line under CAMILLUS to me, jerry, but my eyes are not the best, anymore!!............. .............

Today I'm adding this CAMILLUS 72 variation to my collection. It's a CRAFTSMAN 9494, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. It needed cleaning. I cleaned it, took a few pictures and here it is.
