Tell me about this knife

[cdy291]

Its a Camillus and has a number 13 on it. My father thinks its close to 100 years old. Anything worth mentioning about it?

Welcome to BF. That's a nice looking knife. I don't know if it has any monetary value, but it's certainly a keeper, especially if it belonged to your father.

You might want to post in Bernard Levine's Knife Collecting & Identification subforum. Be sure to read the rules first.

as suggested go to levine. i doubt 100 yrs. since the 4 line marking is older i.m.o.

I'm not positive but I think that knife was probably made in the 1960s. I don't have any of my books here at work to verify.

As suggested, Bernard's forum would be a good place to ask as would the Camillus Collector's Forum here:

EDIT: I stand corrected. You'll find your knife on page 12 of this 1946 catalog.

http://www.collectors-of-camillus.us/Catalogs/1946-Camilluss.pdf. I could not find the knife listed in later catalogs so 1940-1950s is probably a safe range.
