[Travman]

A Camillus from the 1970’s? I can’t tell if it is bone or delrin.

That's older, 1940's or 50's. Post war no line stamp, bone. 14 pattern?


I am back with the schrade made craftsman 9554 whittler. It's a great tool.

Nice knife Travman . Pretty hard to tell ( I couldn't say) what handle material it is. You could poke it with a red hot pin, or have a good look at it using a jeweller's loupe or a microscope.

Edited to add: thechunk91 knows.

A pic is worth 1000 words, Vince!
(But your haiku for the trapper in the ABC thread was pretty impressive! )

Thanks, Gary.

Nice trio there. Love the ram's horn! Saw some similar this week--brand named Marbles. Trapper, stockman, and canoe.

Readying myself for Dorian today here in Leland, NC (close to Wilmington). Got my trusty HHB on the ready (good worry stone too).

Going to start with these two today after just feeding the fish in the pond.It's a nice cool sunny morning.

Camillus and a Utica today

A Camillus from the 1970’s? I can’t tell if it is bone or delrin.

Definitely Rogers Bone judging by the pin crack and jigging.

Very nice !

Travman, I'm with Paul and Steve on this one, definitely bone, although I'm not sure about a pin crack. My guess is from the 1950s, as in this Camillus tang stamp chart there is a gap between the 1946-'50 photo and the 1960-'70s one, and there is NO photo which shows your CAMILLUS over NEW YORK stamp without a line under CAMILLUS.

 

[Jack Black]

Stay safe Bill

Carrying these two today

My investigation of the Camillus stamp has taken another turn. I blew up the pictures in the 1954 catalog and came up with this: looks the same as Travman's, without a line under Camillus.

 

[Anothername]

As always. Been in the pocket everyday for a year and 9 months.

There is not a date range I know of for the no line stamp, but assumptions point to early post war era. I have seen the stamp on knives in the wild and interestingly it's used on the images of knives in the 1946 catalog.

@JJ Cahill - Thank you JJ. Your two knives are as beautiful as the day they originally went on sale. Impressive.

@5K Qs - Each one of your knives is nicer than the one before.

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Your beautiful HHB has become old faithful. That advert knife is cool.
