Not Playing With A Full Deck.....

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

Your focus on this theme is unwavering, Skip, congratulations! ::handshake::
I sure hope I'm around to witness the acquisition of that ever elusive Camillus "Jack-of-Hearts" when you finally find one!
Wonderful choice you made with collecting the playing card theme!

A recent trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes the latest "card" to be posted under this topic or thread and to be added to the "deck." It is a WESTERN, Queen Of Hearts, one blade, one tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, lockback, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "WESTERN (over) U.S.A." It is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Recently, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my latest "card" to be posted under this topic or thread and to be added to the "deck." It is a CAMILLUS, Ten Of Hearts, one blade, one tang ETCH, NOT a tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, lockback, pocket knife. The main blade front tang etch says "CAMILLUS (over) Made in the U.S.A." Despite having a couple of tiny cracks in the handles, overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD+ condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

Nice Skip!
We're going to have to throw a party for you the day you finally add the ever elusive "Camillus Jack O' Hearts" to the deck!
How exciting!

Yesterday afternoon, my visit to the post office produced this key ring, lobster pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my latest "card", although not part of the regular "deck", to be posted under this topic or thread. It is a CAMILLUS, Queen Of Hearts, one blade, two tools (a file and scissors), a blade etch, one tang stamp, 1/2" x 2 1/4" closed (not including the loop or ring), lobster pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade etch says "Harrah's" The main blade front tang stamp says "CAMILLUS (over) New York (over) U.S.A." This pocket knife came with a felt storage pouch and a box. The pouch says "Harrah's - LAS VEGAS" This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
