I found this knife at an estate sale. I frequent estate sales on the weekends to look for coins and other vintage items. I have found a few knives before that I didn't pay much for. I found this Camillus knife last weekend. I don't know much about it so any info you could provide would be appreciated. I would love to know about how old it is. It is stamped Camillus New York USA on the blade. I know the condition is rough. I posted photos below.

Welcome to AAPK!
It is a scout or camper pattern. it probably had celluloid handles that have deteriorated.
The tang stamp dates it shortly after WWII.
That is about all I can tell from the pics.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know about how old it is. Knives are really not my specialty. I paid $1 for the knife because it looked old and interesting.

Do you know anything about this Latama knife? I know nothing about it but the price was almost nothing so I bought it. Pictures are posted below:
