Camillus displays from the OKCA show

Post by orvet »

I thought you guys might like to see some pictures of a Camillus display from the OKCA show last weekend.
Two fellows combined their Camillus collection to make a great display of Camillus and Camco knives.
I think you'll agree they had a really nice display!

I took pictures of this display from three different angles, as it is very similar to my Camillus display case.
I am hoping to someday restore my display.

What a terrific display set-up. I'm drooling all over my keyboard. ::drool::

Thanks for sharing that Dale. That larger than life American Wildlife Running Deer #11 display really takes the cake!

Sorry I missed this Tommy. But I have no idea when they used the type of displays you & I have.
I would guess it was before WWII, but that is a guess. ::shrug::
