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

[New_Windsor_NY]

This afternoon, this pocket knife joined my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is another 1959 CAMILLUS (my third), single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. It joins my three STEVENSON 45's, my CAMILLUS 1949, my CAMILLUS 1958, my other two CAMILLUS 1959's and my CAMILLUS 1960 MIL-K pattern pocket knives. It is in EXCELLENT condition and it didn't require any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you Smitty.

I added this one to my Camillus Pony Jack family today. It is a Camillus Sword Brand Pattern 21 Pony Jack. It is 2-13/16" closed with bone handles. Unfortunately the handles are cracked. The blades have no wobble with good snap, and positive half stops. It has the Sword Brand Crossed Swords tang stamp on the mark side of the Clip Blade and has The Four Line Camillus tang stamp on the pile side. I've not decided what I want to do with it, but may have the handles replaced and make a great old EDC Pony Jack. It needed some cleaning. Here are the pictures of it.

I took some pictures and here it is.

Great ,appreciate it. Thought it warrants being here . It’s great read ,wish we knew for sure how these really came about. They’re not that well made,and May never know how many where shipped overseas.
Take care

Couple old ones picked up recently a toe and a swing guard, both came from a seller in Camillus NY.

Thanks JP, the swing guard is 4 line, the toe has had the tangs ground so only the last line remains. Story I got is they came from an estate that had a grandfather or great grandfather that was a German immigrant that worked for Camillus.
