Camillus Knives Advertising Print Blocks

Post by New_Windsor_NY »

I obtained these print blocks that were used to advertise various
Camillus knives that were being offered in catalogs, fliers, etc.
The pattern #'s are: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21(2), 22, 27, 28, 40,
41, 42(2), 46, 48, 60, 63, 64, 67, 69, 75, 76, 80, 83 & 99. There
are 2 with no pattern # (the very bottom 2). The pictures are not
in any particular order. :D

Have seen some of those Camillus printers blocks pop up on ebay every once in a while and have been so tempted. They'd be really cool to display alongside the knives.

Thank you JP.🍻
Not quite a museum, more like a semi-organized flea market.
I haven't quite figured out how I want to display the printer blocks.
But I will. ::tu::
