What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)

[carrmillus]

Here's a couple of twins to yours Greg.Both of these are still etched.

..if either of mine ever had the sword brand etch, it is completely worn away now!!.... .......

Tnorton that's a great old Harness jack you have posted. It looks to have the same punch as the one WVblade trade posted on the previous page.

Here's an old one I just got in this week.

..now you're cooking, greg!!.....that's my grandpa's favorite, along with a whittler(both Camillus)!!...and it rubbed off on me!!..... ............

Thanks Tommy! I can surely see what your grand pappy likes about them. That's a hunk of knife!

Roger did you see the one last week on Ebay, etched and marked Star Feed Co.? I bid $450 on it and just got blown out of the water. It went for $650.

I did.It was nice,but tqhat was a shocking amount for that knife.I have one like it but had to pry the handles off of it after it started gassing.I keep the paper liner with the advertising on it.

Roger that is two great pieces. They got to be brothers. Those etched knives just float my boat.
