A few days ago, this became the latest addition to my CAMILLUS 72 variation/clone collection. It's another CAMILLUS 72 "YELLO-JAKET", 3 blades, swelled center, yellow handles, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. I gave it a minor cleaning, I took some pictures and here it is.

My first CAMILLUS 72 variation for the year 2021 and it is a hard to find one. In fact, I had no idea that it even existed.
It is a ROYAL BRAND USA, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. Goins says 1914-1954.
It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Congratulations Skip. That's a first for me too. The knife has a Schrade vibe to it. ::hmm::
