Here are a few:
The Barlow is a bit unusual in that the liner extends past the end of the knife with a hole drilled in it for a lanyard.

Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
Just got through binge reading this thread. A great variety of CAMCO knives all you guys have posted. I will have to dig a few of mine out for photos. I've always liked the Camco's although a lot of people consider them cheap low end. But they hold fond memories for me as a kid back when each mom & pop store used to have at least 1 card of Camco's to look at.

Got a few Camcos out today ,put a little oil on them . Do use the Barlow a bit ,it holds a good edge. Had most of these for some years now. All seem to be decent knives.

Thank you Sir, that’s a nice Barlow you got there , the Camco brand was a good old affordable knife.

Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
Mr. CAMCO and SON. Picked them up separately but get a kick out of displaying them together. 4-5/8" and 2-1/2" Ticklers. As someone said above, they take me back to what knives were when we were boys (and girls). Really enjoy the thread. J.O'.

Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
Today, this became the latest pocket knife to join my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It came in a group of four pocket knives that I bought (not for this particular knife). It is a CAMCO USA, single blade, 1 tang stamp, 1 1/2" closed, 1 5/8" closed (including the loop/ring), advertising pocket knife. The main side says "LAUBE'S OLD SPAIN", the other side says "BUFFALO'S LEADING - RESTAURANT." It is in EXCELLENT condition and it didn't need to be cleaned. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
This is my one and only Camco 521, that I have owned since probably before 1960. It's not a great knife, but it's by far the prettiest.
Sorry for the glare on the photos.
Have a blessed day,
Leon

Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
Awhile back I bought this salesman sample roll and this rare camco snap-it was in it.
Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
One of the few Camco marked knives I have.

Re: Let's See Your Camco Knives!
I recently received this Camco 751 two blade jack knife. The Delrin handles are in good shape. Both blades have good snap. Just needs some cleaning. When I get the time I’m going to give it a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner and give her a lube job. I have to say that I really like this knife! It will definitely be part of my EDC rotation!
