Camillus #72's From the 1950's in Original Wrappers

[knifeaholic]

Just picked up this lot of five Camillus 72 pattern knives.

I am guessing 1950's to early 60's on these since the handles are the jigged black composition.

Mint with factory oil, in original cellophane wrappers.

These are the first vintage Camillus pocket knives that I have ever seen with this type of printed cellophane wrapper (I have had Schrade Walden knives with Schrade wrappers like these).

More likely the very late '50s or early '60s with that long line tang stamp and the black synthetic handles. Great capture.

You mean my old #72 looked that GOOD at one time? As long as I can remember mine has been old and beat up...it is like looking back in time!
