All About Pocket Knives

Yesterday's gun show find. On a table with some other stuff, it was not in this condition when I bought it. Tip and front bolster are iron. Tight, very hard pull and loud as new. I am saying it dates to 1916-17 with the master blade tang hyphened 'NY' with serifs. The secondary blade is arched, hyphened with serifs. Oh, and with some cleaning 'CAMILLUS' came out on the master blade. Pinned bowtie shield and brass liners. I might clean up the bolsters a bit more and carry it around for a while.

.....the stamp on the secondary blade dates it to 1915-1918, I think?????................. ......................

....just dug mine out to check.....so much for my memory!!!......mine is 4 1/4", equal end,ebony wood, same shield and markings....goin's says 1915-1918 0no the secondary stamp!!!!...... ......................

Congrats scagel on an absolutely wonder old knife. Excellent find.

Nicely done, good to hear some folks still have some shows in there area.
