2-Blade Camillus New York #13

Post by Aaron43 »

I’m going through knives that my dad recently passed down to me that he and I collected when I was a kid. Looking to learn more about them. Does anyone know the year and value of this 2-blade Camillus? The tang is stamped with Camillus New York USA and the #13.

Was in the 1946 catalog but not in the 1948 catalog (the link in Vit's post will tell you that). What it doesn't tell you is that they also made a #12 that had bone handles. Sure love to get my hands on one of those (the #12).

This is from the 1945 catalog.

Value is a nebulous thing, but I paid $34 for this one, shipped, recently.
