I just picked up an old Camillus 14 Jack - it's a 3-line with real bone scales, not Delrin. Can anyone please give me an idea of its age? The old Camillus catalogs that I've seen - even back as far as the '50s - list Cabone or some other synthetic as handle material. When did Camillus stop using bone for their run-of-the-mill production folders?

Thanks -
 
There's an old thread on tang stamps. That will get you close. I don't think model #'s were put on til after 1946.
 
Thanks very much! From what I see, it looks like the 1946 - 1950 tang stamp, except there's a USA under 'New York'. That would make some sense vis-a-vis the scale material, too.

BTW - gorgeous Westerns!

Thanks again -
