Thanks Joe, I like old knives that show honest use also, whoever had that EO knew how to put an edge on a knife, it's a razor.

A couple of Home runs there John ! Very nice early Camillus knives .
Will agree with you on the 4 liners and the dating !! Just looking at that bone and the hammered pins like you pointed out. In any case ,great pieces
Thanks for posting those .

Whoa JohnR, two very sweet old Camillus knives. The bones on the one are exceptionally wonderful. Lots of blade too. Congrats!!!

John, those are 2 great knives . Again you have came up with some old stamps ,beautiful pieces!
Just received this EO with the arched stamp on the pen and 4 line stamp on the main . Stamped 3229 on pile side of the Spear main. Knife is in great condition ,lot of blade left and excellent snaps . So what’s the first year the 4 line is said to have come out,1919 ? Would this put it closer to 1915 ? Any case ,really like this period of knife collecting. Getting harder to find the older stamps with the different combinations.
Take care out there.

Nice snap and half stops on both blades and doesn’t appear to be much blade loss. Could use a good tune up and oil then it’ll go with the other 4 liners . First one of this period rope knife with this stamp . It’s just over 3 1/4 inches long closed. Very happy to bring this one home and the price wasn’t bad !
Happy Labor Day weekend out there everyone

I've never seen a rope knife with a manicure blade (if that's what you'd call it). It's so cool.

JP, that’s fantastic!

I'm getting ready to sell my Camillus collection and I thought it would be nice to post a picture of it beforehand, so, here it is. I have over 200 and I think that most of them are pictured here, at least the best ones:

Very nice Collection!!
If interested how would you like us to deal with this ? Are you selling as a whole or by the knife ?
Seriously interested in a number of the 4 lines or older if selling by the knife.

I don’t have the words…..wow!

I don't know much about this Camillus two blade folding knife #2504. It is stamped with the "Sword Brand" logo. The tang stamp shown here is known as Camillus' three-line straight stamp. I believe this stamp to have been used on knives manufactured from 1916 to the early 1930s.

Anyone have anymore info?

beautiful collection - how many years did it take and were they all individual purchases or was another collection taken over? Spectacular

Impressive old knife. I think you are right on the tang stamp.

Thanks D.L. I have pretty good luck finding Camillus, ... Case, Ka-Bar, and Remington knives not so much...

See how that little clip on this knife matches your Stainless knife.

Thanks JP I think your EO with the arched stamp on the pen and 4 line stamp on the main blade is absolutely gorgeous!

I fished this old early 30's to mid 40's jack knife out of the shallow end of the bay. Walk and talk are excellent. I am pleased to add it to the family. Thanks for looking.
