Thankyou Larry those were given to Tom ( for the historical society in Camillus ). By Smokey after we had the discussion I wrote about a while back while I was at the auction. I am glad they kept there word. LT

They really are beautiful to look at. The copier Tom used did a great job.
Tom has also sent me a book of Camillus flyers, price lists and reports from 1976-9 which I'll get scanned and put on the web site for all to see. The ads are very similar to the Schrade products of the same time period. I wonder if they used the same advertising companies too.
I'll post a link when they are done which will probably be this weekend.
Please keep the materials coming. I have lots of web space left to use :D
Thanks
Larry
