Agree.

Thank you gentlemen.

Beautiful knives Charlie! I especially like the first one with a long pull & stag! Sweet!

Hey guys.... can you help me with this one?

I got it in a box of parts.... The covers had gassed and almost ruined the knife.
I removed the remainder of the covers and I had this....


It is a Camillus 74....BUT....I can't seem to find a #74 in the catalogs...
It is 3 3/8" long....
Have y'all ever seen one or do you have one?

Here is what mine looks like after I added some kirinite covers....


So.... what is the deal with the #74?

Nice one, Mike.

Thanks Skip...

SO.... you don't have any ideas about a Camillus #74?



The catalogs (on line) skip some years so I wonder if it came and went during a time not covered by those catalogs....(???)

Sorry Mike, I have no information on the "74"
There is a thread on the "74" (yours) here:
https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... 63&t=63433
But, I did previously post the picture below.
From the December 1949 Buhl Sons Company catalog.
Sorry, best I can do, but it IS a pattern #74.

Thanks Skip....
Yep, I remember asking this question before. But my Old Timers disease made me forget.
Thanks for posting that picture of the #74.

Sword Brand candy stripe jack 3-1/2" with the propeller shield
4-Line stock knife w/spiral punch 3-7/8"
The stock knife still has an etching "Farm Bureau Committeeman"
Both still have great walk n talk

While doing some oiling and general maintenance on my older Carbon Camillus knives noticed a faint remnant of a etch on this 3 blade stockman. This Sword brand does have the Farm Bureau Committeeman etch . Did some research on the bureau thing and there are a few newer knives with the same etch . Seems like the Texas area still uses it some in there farming community. Not sure if they ( knife ) were given to certain individuals or how that works.
This is something wasn’t aware of till just recently ,and after a little bit of Sleuthing found this post by Travman . Anybody have any more info or knives pertaining to this topic ?

NICE!
That right there is a couple of SWEET Streamlines!

Great save!

Just found this #22 Camillus tang stamped in three lines. Good blade snap all three ways.

One of the last of the Stockman knives I've hunted over the past 20 yrs or so.......I LOVE IT!

Looks pretty close to my #64

Yep.... looks like the only difference is that yours is a serpentine pattern.


Here is one I just finished. It is a #23 that had advertising covers. I figured it needed some bone for a little dress up.

Before...


Then.... after a new set of covers.....


These are some hefty knives..... large and in charge.

A co worker found this little jack for me today at a TSA sale. Camillus 24 with what I have googled is NuPearl covers? Any idea to what year/years is was made? 1980's perhaps? Thanks.

I was thinking the stamp is from the 50's or 60's or there about. I don't see it on the tang stamp page. So, what year would this one have been made? ?

Maybe as early as late 1945 but 1946 or 47 for sure. I guess this should be included on the tang stamp page.

Based on the pins and long pull could be mid ,or a little earlier , 70 s ? Not positive about these in this period but you’re pretty close with your deduction . NuPearl covers is correct . Nice 24

Thank you Ripster! Appreciate the info. It's a good little knife, kinda small for my taste, but I'm happy to have it. Well built and solid with great snap.
