I just scrolled through this thread and notice I hadn't posted my Camco Mumbly Peg. Randy, the one you posted back in 2012 was my inspiration for finding one of these and bringing it home. Except for a spot here and there, the knife is in factory condition and I like it a lot.
Seller's pictures. They were so much better than what I take, I decided to use them for my records.

And WOW Vit. That barlow looks like it's in factory condition. Nice one.

Here is a Camco Lone Ranger knife that had the tin the knife came in, the sleeve around the tin, and all the goodies that came with the knife.

Unfortunately, this knife has a bad state, but I could not help it when I saw it on Ebay.

Got this Camco 450 as part of an online auction lot that included a Stag Ireland Camper, a Sheffield multi-tool and an unnamed folder knife. It was the worst of the lot in terms of condition - all blades were stuck shut, and it took a number of shots of WD-40 to start to release them. Even now, the slotted bottle opener takes a lot of effort to open (sometimes I need pliers!), so more work to be done. But, it is in much better shape now!

No sir, I have not. The red one and the black one on the other end appear to be the same and different than the middle three. I suspicion red and black one might be celluloid? But I dont know for sure.Edgewise wrote:Have you identified the handle material on all?DM11 wrote:Camco Barlows. I been after one of these red covered ones for some time.

jwissandsons.com has an old Boker Tree Brand catalog with the Barlow jacks (sheepfoot and pen blades) advertised as a "utility jack" with saw cut delrin handles. They also listed barlows with what looks like smooth handles like DM11's barlows and they call it ebonite. Wikipedia says it's vulcanized rubber, formerly called vulcanite and was used for bowling balls, hockey pucks, pipe mouth pieces, among other things. So both delrin and ebonite were used in the same catalog. I couldn't find a date in the whole catalog so I don't know how old it is but I just thought the Camcos may have used the same materials of the period.orvet wrote:Speaking of Camco…… and Bakelite……. (back up this page a few posts)…..
I will have to revise what I said about the Bakelite probably not being on Camco knives.
It seems I have a CamcoTL-29 with Bakelite handles. It tested positive for Bakelite on 3 out of 3 tests (surface magnification, rubbing & Simichrome), so I think it is Bakelite.
I don’t know the date it was made, but I would think the 1950 or the 1960 at the latest.
Does anyone have any ideas?
But as regards Paul's Barlow; he thought might be Bakelite….. Has anyone ever seen a Bakelite product that didn’t have a smooth surface? I have never seen Bakelite sawcut like those handles. I am inclined to think the Barlow is not Bakelite due to the finish on it, but by evidence of the TL-29, they did make some knives with the Bakelite handles.

David, I like this Camco Barlow but when I got it I didn't care for all the carbon spotting on the blades. So I forced the patina and much prefer the look of it today.
