OK I have 2 different Camillus counter display boxes that I need some info I'm not 100% sure how the knives were displayed.
The first appears to have had a knife board where they would have been mounted,but what did it look like and how were they mounted?
And was the mounting board painted or have felt?

The taller one here with the foan in it..was this for fixed blades only?
And were they just sandwiched between the glass and the foam..or?

any info is appreciated

There was just a piece of white colored cardboard on the top one that said CAMILLUS in the center knives were displayed in a circle i had one for my box at one time and it was in really rough shape--wasn't anything special at all-do a search on Ebay one was just listed last week

Yep just cardboard not even nice looking lettering i've always ment to make something for mine and never have--you are also missing the piece from the inside that showed how to keep the edge on a knife

that's crazy....the cabinet is really made nice and then they use
cardboard for the display board.? ::doh:: ..weird.
I have a picture of the sheet that would have been on the inside..probably
not good enough to print though.
Well a cardboard display board is even easier to make ::nod::
