New To Me Knife Today

Post by Pete44ru »

.

Today, I received a little cutie I bought online a few days ago for the price of a Super El Grande Expresso (or so) - a 3" long (closed) Camillus 49-P Tuxedo Pen Knife w/Derlin scales (yellow/Ivory color) in very good condition.

I hadn't run across this particular pattern before, AND thought the scales were colored pleasingly (to me).

I dunno about it's rarity, Chuck, but the shape combined with the Ivory-looking scales rang my chimes, for sure !

Thanks for the kind responses all !

From what I can find, this one dates from the 1960's, although the pattern was introduced at least 40 years before then.

Several different knife companies made Tuxedo-pattern knives with various types of scales (stag, many shades of color in Derlin, etc), but the Camillus product seems to be the smallest.
