I think that's an old mark that Camillus used around the 1920's or 30's. The handles are celluloid, not pearl. I think that "sample" mark was somehow related to the company and not a salesman's sample. They would have marked that separately and not included it in an actual stamp.

NICE....thanks so much eric....i didnt expect to hear 1920's 30's because the condition is pretty good except for the rust marks...again thanks

Lipic was Joseph Lipic Pen Co. St. Louis, MO. and advertising and pen point company begun in 1863 and still in business as Lipic Engagement. Not sure who their knife jobber was but Camillus is likely. I have a few. I'll try to dig them out for pics. That's a nice one you have.Looks like '50's-60's. Hard to say. J.O'.

Found some info in Goins. I was a bit off on the dates, was actually 1927 to 1940.

When you write the post you should see a section (I think near the bottom) that says "Options" with a list of items with check boxes. If you check the box that says "Notify me when a reply is posted" you'll get a message each time there's a reply. You can also go back and check that box any time if you hit the edit button next to your post.
