some info and value of 2 old pearls

[joefm]

hey,

i just traded for these 2. first one i know is older because of its 4 line stamp, how old i dont know? the pearl is right up there with the best ive seen! the other one is tricky for me, ive never saw another but ive heard it was made by camillus. i say that becuase i have a knife at home that has stainless steel wrote on its bar shield so im assuming this is another one! somebody on here said Sta-sharp was s line of knives for Sears? but if yall could help me with values i would appreciate it. i plan on selling on selling or trading these 2 along with some others!

Both are very nice examples. The Sta-Sharp sleeveboard pen knife was made by Camillus for Sears likely in 1930's or very early 1940's. The equal end pen knife with 4 line marking is either about the same age or older.
Unfortunately value is not that high because many knife collectors do not collect pen knives, only jack knives. $50 each is what they might go for on ebay.

I agree, it’s a shame that old pearl pens don’t bring much. Yours look to,be in nice condition though (many have cracked or chipped pearl).
