Got these from my father who is cleaning out his house. The 1 knife is a camillus boy scout knife with 3 blades. The other two I have no idea. Can anyone help identify the brand and type as well as possible knife prices. Thanks!

The barlow says possibly "rcc" on it and feels like a bone handle. The other one has a shield on it. Too much patina and gunk on blade to read anything.
 
The one that says RCC is likely Robeson Cutlery Co.

Any close up pictures of the blade tang on the one without any marks on the bolster or the shield?
 
No marking i can see. The blades look well used and have been way over sharpened considering they only take up about half of the slots. I added some close up shots

Yeah, sorry, can't be of too much help on my end. We do, however, have many experts on this forum that may be a bunch more help than I can provide.

Good luck!
 
Can’t help with an ID on the third one, but I would oil and clean them up a little bit and put them on the road again!
 
Center one with bone handle screams "CAMILLUS!!!" at me. I don't know why.
Are you sure the scout knife is Camillus? The shield looks like a pre 1965 Cub Scout. Ulster was making the "Official" Girl, Cub and Boy Scout knives then, and were the only one who could use the various Scouting Shields/Emblems.

The Scout knife is a Camillus Cub Scout #1885 camp knife from the late 1960s/early 1970s.
Camillus made official scout knives from 1946 right up until they closed in 2007.
Early Ulster Dwight Divine branded scout knives (1923-40) had a heraldic type scout shield, later Ulster USA marked BSA knives made after 1963 had round shields.

My Official BSA 4 blade Scout knife is branded Ulster.
Was more than one company authorized by BSA to make the Official knives?
 
I have an Imperial Cub Scout knife, which is the only one I've ever seen that wasn't a Camillus. Of course, at my age, I think I've seen everything, but it isn't true.
 
I was considering cleaning these up and moving them along. My Dad gave me a huge bag full of camillus knives and various other slipjoints. I just dont collect really Im more of a user. Any suggestions on prices? These are in no means great condition.

I'd look at the auction site's sold listings to see what they go for rather than what sellers wish for. The little one that's so used up I would put on the workbench for woodworking layouts.
 
Dear Sirs.
i'm new on this forum, and really I don't know if this is the right place to do it.
If not, please tell me where to post it.
I've a doubt about the brand of a folding knife.
How can I post a couple pictures from my PC into this forum?
I could't find a way by de Ctrl+P.
Regards.
Ronan.
