A very recent arrival. This is a CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. It needed very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

Great lookers, especially like that Hibbard Sp Bart. Love the bones and those bar shields. Great condition too, you scored on those. Keen Kutter Kills too.

Those are three beauties, John. I really like the body on the Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett. Very nicely photographed, too.

Thank you all for the nice comments, I think the HSB is my favorite, you just don't see that Congress Whittler pattern all that often.

Dang, too bad I didn't find this thread before I started selling my late hubby's whittler collection.
I could have posted over 100.
