I am not sure of the actual definition of Washington bolsters, but these look to me like bolsters on a Schrade 2OT, which I know are Washington bolsters. I guess I will go out on a limb here and say this is the only Camillus Sword Brand I have seen with Washington bolsters, especially with engraved Washington bolsters. I think it is delightful!
Here are a of the sellers pics.

This is a live auction on eBay with 6 days remaining.
I suspect it's going to go for more than I want to pay for it.
If someone from AAPK gets it; please show us some really good pictures.
(This is not my auction, not my knife, and I'm not bidding on this item).

Evening Dale , siting here reading thru old posts on this cold day . Here’s a Streamline with the engraved bolsters you speak of . This was bought off EBAY from a Seller with a pile of various era Camillus knives. It sat for awhile and offered to meet him half way and the rest is history as some say .
Here’s a few pics and measurements. It’s 1/4 inch shorter than the Jack and Stockman with the Streamline engraved main and sword brand stamp. . All the mains are the same length and stamps . None of the secondary blades are stamped. The main tang on the one in question is wore some and is slow and but no wobble.
So not sure if there’s more out there, if so please show them . This Seller bought this a few years back off EBay himself .
Also did you mention here somewhere that Mr. Williams said Streamline was 1932 to 1935/36 ? Not 1941 thru 1946 ! It seems that I just read it here a few hours ago and now can’t find it .
Would this be a Washington bolster knife like the older Schrade 2OT ? It’s right at 3 and 5/8 inch closed . Or what pattern ,number or style if anyone would know or steer me in the right direction .
