No sir, but with the bone handles it would have to be earlier than the 50's. Maybe someone will be along that can be more specific.

I'm not exactly sure....carrmillus wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 3:03 pm ...mike, is it 4 line stamped???............... .............
My first impression is that this is an older knife.
I see that it looks like (maybe) a long line under the "CAMILLUS" name. I haven't really tried to figure it out beyond that since I don't have it in hand yet.
1960-1976 maybe??

If you enlarge a picture by clicking on it a couple of times and you still can't quite make out what you're looking at, do this.
Hold down either Control Key "Ctrl" and roll the roller wheel on your mouse forward until you get it to the size that suits you (rolling it back towards you makes the picture smaller). You can go directly back to standard view by holding down either "Ctrl" key and hitting the zero key on the top row of your keyboard. ('0' on the ten key pad won't work)
If you're not on a PC, I don't know what to tell you. You may just be SOL.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
These arrived this morning. A CAMILLUS 14, 2 blade pocket knife. It is in NEAR MINT condition. It came in the box pictured below. The seller thought that the CAMILLUS 14 went with this box. The box is for a CAMILLUS 165 and it has the steel sharpening rod. It doesn't have the sharpening instructions on the bottom panel. But what it does have, and it wasn't pictured by the seller, is "SEASONS GREETINGS" on each side panel. It also has "To" and "From" on the bottom panel. I took some pictures and here they are.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Thank you Mike. Now to get a 165 for the box. It shouldn't be too difficult.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
I just bought this "knife" for best offer. It's a CAMILLUS, single blade, two tools, "Sunshine Biscuits" (shield) pocket knife. Besides the blade, the tools are supposed to be a cap lifter/bottle opener and a can opener. It looks like it's a 3 or 4 line tang stamp. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. But when it arrives, it'll get a helluva cleaning. Per the seller, the tools are rusted shut. Here it is, not my pictures.

Yes Vit_213 and it looks like it was a slow, painful death.
Thank you Richard. A re-handle job is in this knife's future. Along with rust removal and freeing up the tools.

Re: Show Us Your Camillus Knives!
Picked up this 68 Stockman with a punch, I think it dates from the 60's to early 70's, wonder when Camillus stopped using the spiral punch if ever.

Thanks, I looked for other examples and they do not appear to be all that common. I did find one or two earlier examples with bone handles.carrmillus wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 8:47 pm ......now, there's one I do not have!!!................ .....................

I like those spiral punches... I have no idea when they stopped making them. I sure do hate it that they stopped!
