Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? I wore a mask, stayed 6' away and I still got it.
Here are a #1 and #5 (I have posted them before). I got the fever
and I am always looking for a Camillus "Short-Line" when out knife hunting. This tang stamp was used by Camillus from 1946 to 1950. I have a couple and I am always looking for more... however the "Short-Line" has been a elusive one for me to find.
Anyone out there having better luck?

Nice, GSP.
Probably no loss of smell either.

Very cool! I have a few and they’re really nice. But I agree, they aren’t nearly as plentiful as the long lines.

Have a short line #5 on the way ,and like you am always on the look for them . And as you’ve shown with tang stamp info,they were only made thos 4/5 years .

I am afraid I have an advanced case. Oh to find short line bone. But no line has me hooked to. Glad I have company

I have a short line 23.
And it's a very nice one! The 23 is one of those that speaks to me; I find it to be exceptionally good-looking. I'd be happy with a decent one regardless of length, number, or lack of lines.

GSPTOPDOG, I apologize for hijacking your thread.
The 23 is a great canvas for customization.

Here's a short line 23.
The 23 is a fine pattern, especially in the short line version with the swedge.
Muskrat Man put the smooth bone on it for me. I like it.
I'm enjoying the show.
A great looking bunch of knives.
Great thread!

Here are a couple of 23's that I rehandled back when I was getting started on knife restoration. I have to be honest - I didn't even realize until now that these 2 were "short-liners".

A few more.
The one with the bow-tie shield looks like a 23. Am I correct?
