It is the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general CAMILLUS collection. It is a CAMILLUS 60, three blades (one has a file), 3 5/16" closed, two tang stamps, milled liners, fancy springs, tip bolsters, "split spring", whittler pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp (short line) says "CAMILLUS (over) NEW YORK (over) USA. The main blade back tang stamp says "60" Overall, I would say that this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. All three blades have decent snap. ALL three blades have no wobble.
I gave it a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Skip , That’s a hard to find Short line model 60 ! Very nice addition to the Camillus collection .
The file work on the springs is not something I’ve seen on a short line before . It was somebody’s pride and joy at one time Would bet .
Take care out there ::handshake:: .
