I know this is not Camillus, but thought you guys would know what these are.

pretty sure the top one is a marlin spike used by sailors on knots. I do not know the model.

Maybe ask the mods to move this to the Camillus Collectors Forum. I'm betting the guys there can help.

The Marlin spike was a government contract knife as well as part of their regular line of knives. Sales number was 697

Fixed blade might be a #5665. I would post a picture, but I'm not allowed to.

The fixed blade was manufactured in the 1940's or earlier. The model #5665 knife was introduced in 1939.

Had no Idea that it was that old, what kind of knife was it? What was it made for?

Here's a link with some info, if it is indeed a #5665: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60899

The model #5665 knife was introduced in 1939 as a civilian model. In the early part of WWII it was supplied to the U.S. Military. KNIFE WORLD printed an article by Frank Trzaska about this knife.
