Re: Identification of a Camillus
It does not look like any of the knives I'm familiar with that the original US Camillus company made, so, without a clear picture of its tang stamp to make me think other wise, I suspect it's an import from China which would make its value minimal. During the Christmas season Walmart sells blister packs of three different Chinese made knives branded Winchester, Remington and other brands for $20. Some of the Chinese made Camillus knives are as inexpensive as knives get.
The original US Camillus company made a zillion knives so it's still easy to find good ones.

I actually just picked up one that is the same knife. Mine is stamped HIGH CARBON STEEL USA so made for Sears. I believe that it was made by Colonial.

Re: Identification of a Camillus
The dimpled pins or rivets don't look Camillus.
PLEASE post a picture of the tang stamp.

Re: Identification of a Camillus
'HIGH CARBON STEEL' was a Camillus-made, Sear's brand in the 1930's. I'm no expert, but that knife may be a modern, foreign-made bootleg piece. Surely doesn't look like the 1930's. Let's see a good pic of the blade and mark. J.O'.
