My guess is early to mid 50's

1950s; I agree with TJ, but probably mid 1950s to about 1960.tjmurphy wrote:My guess is early to mid 50's
Goins says the short line is 1946 -1950.
The no line, Goins dates as 1946-1956.
Goins' dating of those two tang stamps has never made sense to me.
Tom Williams agrees with me, and he was the company historian for Camillus & worked there for 30 years.
The matter is by no means settled at this point in time.
Discussions are ongoing............

Re: dating a camillus
I agree. I have long line (1960 - 1976) knives (69 and 21 patterns) with bone handles that make me shrug. 
I have no idea how accurate these are.
