Camillus 72 Clones

Couple more.

Not something you see everyday
Your days of “ the hunt “ of the Clones has produced some unique pieces , thanks for digging em out and sharing !

I got to a certain point where I had all the years and tang stamps (except for the unicorns) and I was still interested so I picked up anything that was out of the ordinary and that included advertisers.

I was asked to post this one in this thread. I found it yesterday afternoon in a antique/junk store. I was told it is a Camillus 1047. I’m sure most who post regularly here saw this in the Camillus 72 thread where I mistakenly posted it. Maybe it can help someone figure out an answer to a question one of these years. You just never know!


Thanks for looking!

Awesome find there Rugmar, and a prime example of a Camillus 72 Clone or Variation.

This afternoon I added this CAMILLUS 72 variation to my collection. It's another SCHRADE 863, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. It has a "CRAFTSMAN" shield. This is my 18th "863", but only 2 have the "CRAFTSMAN" shield. Both of them have similar styles/patterns of their handles. It needed a little cleaning. I know that there's a tiny crack by the center pin. That doesn't bother me. I took some pictures and here it is.

Dang Skip, 18 “863” , do really like the craftsman shield on those . Great snag
Picked up this Imperial Scout 72 variation ,the price was right. Had some scratches on main , sanded it down and cleaned it up a bit . Very tight piece yet, even with some use . So off it goes in the clone corner .
Good hunting everyone, take care .

JP That is a great looking Imperial Scout 72 Clone. Congrats on that find.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Dang.....

Thank you JP.

JP, that's a VERY g@@d lking Imperial scouting pocket knife
and it's got the "silvertone" federal style shield.
Now, you have to obtain the Imperial scouting pocket knife with
the "goldtone" federal style shield.

[Ripster]

Smitty Thank you
Skip , Thank you also, and am on the hunt for the gold Shield and others .

Today I add another member to my Camillus 72 Clone and Craftsman Family It is a Craftsman 9494 Swell center whittler. It has the Oval Craftsman shield with the Crown around the word Craftsman. It is 3-5/8" closed, and has jigged delrin handles. I believe in the sears catalogs, this may have been the ones called Boneite, but not possitive. The blades do not appear to have been sharpened on a stone, but do have some age spots or spiders. I did not have to do any cleaning and have only oiled the joints.

Excellent P B.

I'm getting tired of chasing you around.
Another TERRIFIC acquisition, Smitty!
I would say, keep on looking, but I already know you will.
