While I'm at it and have the moment ... check out this unusual little Camillus made commemorative ad knife. It's 3" closed and looks to be nickel with carbon steel blades. Due to the pin you cannot read the full line "Scottish Rite Bodies" on the one side. It turns out that it was made for a keepsake for the local members of a Masonic (I assume the Free Masons) fraternity, celebrating it's 100 year anniversary. I just think it's way cool. Made me wonder, do any of you have similar types of keepsakes, commemoratives, or rare advertising pieces? Please share!

2dog, I know just how this knife feels my friend, I am 2 years older than this knife, ( if we can go by the advertisement dates ) 1964 and very proud of it, and its good to see this very cool old knife.
In saying this, there are - as we know lots of advertisement knives around, and especially of this era.
I want to add I have my name sakes ... (my great Uncle) - Duncan Campbell.. masonic certificates that date to over 100 years ago on beautiful solid waxed paper, I was named after this man, and I couldn't be prouder, My name is Duncan Campbell Morgan, named after my uncle ......a World war 2 veteran.
2dogs, I am enjoying your input to our fantastic forum here my friend, thank you.
