Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
I posted this in the "camillus #72" topic yesterday. It belongs in this topic also as it is my "Latest Old Camillus" and it's pre-1960. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line, "whittler" pocket knife (First Generation 72).

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
I picked this one up earlier last week. A #23 Large Equal End Jack with handles Camillus called Grain White Pyroxylin, which I understand is a type of celluloid. The blades have many minute scratches, but have excellent snap with no wobble, and has some of the original luster. I've done nothing to the knife other than oil the joints.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
The EO Jack was made during WW II. Lots of them 'out there', both Camillus and Imperial but the vast majority have been used ++ and it's not common to get one with a full master blade like this one has.
I used to collect these old EO bone Jacks and had about 50-60 of them. At that time very few people were bidding for them on ebay so i often got them for $30 or less. Now they are more in demand and prices are higher.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
'With the one I have, some nitwit thought that it would be a good idea to make a clip blade out of the spear. It looks horrible, and doesn't really work too well, as it defeats the purpose of the EO. I do use it, it's my desk knife.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 3:50 pm The EO Jack was made during WW II.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
Here is a Camillus 51 two blade Barlow. Camillus has the long underline so it might be older than 1960 but i don't know when this stamping was last used ? And with this dark dye i am unsure if Delrin or bone. If Delrin then after 1960.
Expert Camillus help needed please.

From Goins.
One of the last two.
Goins was published in 1998.
I apologize for the bad picture. Was in a hurry.

I don't see any difference between 1960-1976, san serif, and 1976 to present (2007) stamps.
