Camillus Cutlery: garage sale find

[RomanDouglas]

Hello. My name is Doug, I am new here. Been collecting for awhile, mostly queen knives. I was at a garage sale today and picked up this folder for $3. It was pretty rusted on the blades couldn't see the stamp at all. Cleaned it up when I got home, Camillbus Cutlery co. Attached some photos below...any info on how old this one may be? Thanks.

Hi Doug and welcome to this forum.
I don't know how old it is, but for three bucks you did well.

Looks to me like 1941-1946

Welcome to Traditionals. That's an old one, you did well for $3.00!!

Welcome!

You made a great find for the few buck you paid. Looks like a great stockman for me. And still with a lot of life in this old working horse.

1941-46?...Wow. That's great. Funny the guy said he found it in the "junk drawer" at his dad's house.

Any idea if the covers are delrin or bone?

Welcome, Douglas!!

Welcome into the fold. Judging by the knife that caught your eye, I think you're gonna fit in fine amongst us, RD.

Andi, I think it's a Serpentine Jack, I'm only going by the fact that I only see 2 blades on one pivot. I have a Queen I Winterbottom Bone that looks almost identical in profile.

BTW, welcome to the forums, nice score, nice save. :thumbup:

I stand corrected, I didn't see the pic with three blade open, my bad....

Still a great save and of course a great call by Andi. :thumbup:
