All About Pocket Knives

I bought this long pull Camillus EO today at my local antique store. I have had the bottom one for a while, the one with the bail. The one with the long pull has 33 on the back of the master. The one with the bail does not. Which one is older? The one with the bail is a 4 line stamp. The one with the long pull looks like a 3 line stamp. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin. VERY nice knives. I believe the one with the bail, the one with the 4 line tang stamp, is the older of the two knives. Here is a link to Camillus tang stamps. While not 100% accurate, definitely in the ballpark.

Thank you Skip! And thank you for the link as well. Glad to have found the long pull today. Have a good evening!

Woodwalker you got a sweet one. I bet the one with the bail is WW 2 origin. And the 33 is sweet.

Thanks Floyd! I was very happy to have found it today! My jaw hit the floor when I seen it under glass and I could not pull my wallet out fast enough at 6 bucks!

........six bucks?????.............you did hit the jackpot!!!!....................... .....................

Definitely the 4 line tang stamp is older.
The 33 pattern is in the 1946 catalog.

Thank you Colonel! Appreciate ya!

....the top one has a short line mark, so I would think it is the older one...also the straight pull is older too, I think!!............... .......................

Those are two sweet ones!
