I won an ebay auction of 5 electrician's patterns. 2 are marked camillus, and i am looking for approximate dates of manufacture
number 1 has a hawkbill, brown plastic scales made to look like wood, and the tang stamp is camillus sort of square (letters are squarish), a line, and under is new york, then under that is U.S.A It looks to be all stainless.
number 2 is a ton older, and has black delrin scales, a spearpoint, and the screwdriver is marked (something) lock to left. The main blade has odd file marks on it, like it was rough finished, or maybe somebody sharpened id badly, but the file marks are uniform on both sides, up to the spine. The tang stamp is super plain font, and reads camillus underlined, new york no usa. Both blades are corbon steel, judging from the patina.
I have a Craftsman, which is similar to the first knife, but with a spearpoint, and judging from the position of the pivot pin, may also be a camillus-the tang has a number:95237
Anybody know who made this?
The last mystery is who made klein knives. This one is marked :
I
Mklein&sons
chicago
It is a regular electrician's pattern
Thanks for bearing with me, I'm working on pics.
