Camillus Ephemera

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.

Camillus Ephemera

Post by New_Windsor_NY »

If you have any CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY ephemera that you'd like to post, please do. Whatever you have, for example, catalogs, postcards, pictures, letters, invoices, boxes, displays, etc., etc., etc. If you want to, go ahead and post the knife or knives that actually go with the particular ephemera that you're posting. Ephemera by itself is fine, but PLEASE, no knives by themselves and again ONLY CAMILLUS! Thank you.

Today I added this piece of CAMILLUS CUTLERY COMPANY ephemera to my collection. It is an invoice from November 1946. It is an invoice for one, pattern #91 pocket knife. It is in VERY GOOD condition with no rips, tears or creases. I'm probably going to frame it. The last four pictures are of my CAMILLUS 91. Going by the tang stamp, a 3-line long line, it is from 1960 to the late 1970's. Fourteen plus years after the invoice. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

CAMILLUS Commemorative "Ducks" Pocket Knife (CAMILLUS 72),
With Original Box And Paperwork.

***** Per Vit_213, "The Paperwork are not original! This knife has nothing to do with Camillus 100th Anniversary."

***** EDIT October 2 *****
I changed my original CAMILLUS 100th Anniversary..... to CAMILLUS Commemorative "Ducks" Pocket Knife (CAMILLUS 72),
With Original Box And Paperwork.
