Charlie you made two great funnies. I laughed at both. Very witty! I love it. Not only wonderful knives but a great sense of humor as well.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Picked these two up at a show. 81 and 69. Both Etched De Luxe Stock knives. Both bone. The 81 with the reddish bone is a later made knife in the 60's I believe. Some of the last before they went to Delrin.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
That 69 is a beauty! I came close on one a month or so ago but while looking at the extra pics I asked for someone beat me to it. I've become very selective with my knife purchases over the last few months but am always on the lookout for a nice bone 69.Eye Brand Man wrote:Picked these two up at a show. 81 and 69.

Does yours have the coined liner and fancy backspring spacer?

PACKLEADER, I like your Camillus pack. That little whittler in the last pic is a charmer!
EBM, some sweet bones there.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Hey Guys, Thought I would post my Sword Brand Camillus Cotton Sampler. As most of you know I use to collect antique cotton samplers. This is the only one I ever found by Camillus. Have any of you seen this pattern before in Camillus? What date would you put on this knife.
Thanks guys,
Mark

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
When my Grandpa passed away about 9yrs ago, He had this Tape Measure among his things. I could think of no better person to have this tape measure than Mr. Greg Cobb so I gifted it to him. For those of you who dont know Mr. Cobb, He is one heck of a Knife guy, A Collector of ALL Camillus stuff & a WONDERFUL Person. He put the tape measure on Display with his other Memorabilia in Camillus NY.
I hope no one minds me adding this TAPE MEASURE to the CAMILLUS Forum even though its not a knife, I dont know where else to post it.
Kind Regards,
Mark

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
I don't remember ever seeing that exact tang stamp before either. The Sword Brand knives I have (only a couple) have the Camillus tang stamp and Sword Brand etched on the master blade. According to Goins Camillus used a Sword Brand tang stamp in 1906 but it doesn't appear to match the one you have.ratlesnake75 wrote:Hey Guys, Thought I would post my Sword Brand Camillus Cotton Sampler.

There is a very similar knife called a maize knife and listed as a #2 in the 1946 Camillus catalog but there is no association with the Sword Brand stamp.
Check the link below:

Hope this helps.....

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
That is Awesome guys!!! That #2 is certainly very similar to mine huh. My knife has a lanyard hole & different stamping but basically it sure does look the same. Isn't this FUN FUN & what collecting/buying/trading/selling knives is all about, It surely is for me
I will also look closer at my stamping because I didnt realize it was different than other Sword Brand stamps. Maybe we can put a side by side picture comparison & add this stamping to the known stamps that exist for Camillus, I will work on this
Kindest Regards,
Mark
