What does a Camillus #15 SUPPOSED to look like?

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

No, only this one :| .

By the way, to determine the time period for the release of a particular model, you can use the table from my site - http://www.camillusknives.ru/cats_en.shtml
Thus, I see that #15 was produced approximately from 1946 to 1957.

Not one of any pattern? None, zip, nadda? Are you serious?
Well, now that I think again maybe I do. My dad's old Army knife might
be a Camillus.

Later I will go in the car trunk and look.

Skip those old printer blocks do they show the tang stamps ? And you have one for the 72 as well if memory is correct?
Always thought those to be great references and nice pieces of our knife history .
Did you ever get a 15 with factory covers ? Am on the look for one as well as some others .
Take care . ::tu::

Hi JP, I'll answer your questions one by one.
Some of the print blocks have tang stamps, some do not.
Yes, I have a "72" print block.
No, I do not have a "15" pocket knife. I haven't really been looking.
Here is the link to the print blocks:

Thanks Skip. That is a great post forgot about that one . When going back there today noticed the 72 block is for the no shield . Can’t remember if we talked about that or not . But in a short the 72 no shield is harder to find .
Much appreciated ::tu::
