Today I add this pocket knife to my all metal handle collection and to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1960 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. It required a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This is the most recent arrival to my all metal handle knives collection. It's another, THE W & H CO. - USA - NEWARK NJ, single blade pocket knife. According to the GOINS book, "c 1870-1959 Whitehead & Hoag was founded in 1870. They went out of business about 1959. This was an advertising specialties firm; the knives were made for them by a variety of cutlery manufacturers." It measures 2 1/2" closed, not including the ring and 4 3/8" open, not including the ring. It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last two pictures are of the "fob" that was attached to the pocket knife when I received it.

It measures just a hair under 2 1/4" closed and just a hair over 3 3/4" open. *** I posted the wrong "open" length for the other two similar pocket knives. ALL three are just a hair over 3 3/4" open. *** It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This is the latest pocket knife to join my all metal handle knives collection. It's another, THE W & H CO. - USA - NEWARK NJ, single blade pocket knife. According to the GOINS book, "c 1870-1959 Whitehead & Hoag was founded in 1870. They went out of business about 1959. This was an advertising specialties firm; the knives were made for them by a variety of cutlery manufacturers." It measures just a hair over 2" closed and 3 3/8" open. This is the fifth of these "W & H" "fob" knives that I've acquired and it is the "Ugly Duckling" of the five. It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. If you like cheese, there is a history to the company on the handles.

Today I added this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1958 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. A nice companion for the 1949, the 1959 and the 1960 that I've acquired. It has a few issues, but one can be repaired. It also needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

According to the GOINS book, "c 1870-1959 Whitehead & Hoag was founded in 1870. They went out of business about 1959. This was an advertising specialties firm; the knives were made for them by a variety of cutlery manufacturers." But with the advertising on the handles of the pocket knife, the date of manufacture can be narrowed down to circa 1930. There is a serial number(?) stamped into the handle. It measures just a hair under 2 1/4" closed and just a hair over 3 3/4" open. It is completely magnetic. I don't collect advertising pocket knives per se, but besides being all metal, it advertises a bank during the depression era and I also have a direct connection with the town/city of Poughkeepsie, but not with a bank. It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

If you think that I already posted THIS EXACT SAME pocket knife under this topic, think again, you're wrong.

This is my latest entry for this topic. It's a GEO SCHRADE, single blade with fish scaler, double tang stamp, wire frame/handle pocket knife. Definitely not the cleanest example of this pattern that I've obtained. It needed cleaning. I did what I could with it. The handle looks like it has issues (it isn't rusted), but it's really not that bad. I took some pictures and here it is.
