Product Details

Based on the tang stamp shown in your photos: CAMILLUS NEW YORK U.S.A. and the construction (black synthetic handles, bail, locking screwdriver/wire scraper blade, and spear blade), this is a Camillus Electrician's Knife (TL-29 style). The tang stamp appears to be the 1946–1950 short underline style, though Camillus occasionally used existing blade stock, so a production date extending into the early 1950s is possible. Estimated Date of Production 1946–1950 (most likely) Specifications Manufacturer: Camillus Cutlery Co. Pattern: Electrician's Knife (TL-29 pattern) Handle Material: Black composition/synthetic Blades: Spear point master blade Locking screwdriver/wire scraper blade Bolsters: Nickel silver Liners: Brass Made in: Camillus, New York, USA Condition From your photos: Blades appear to retain their original profile with light patina. Strong snap and good overall fit. Handle covers show normal carry wear with no major cracks visible. Overall condition: Very Good to Excellent. Current Collector Value Fair: $35–50 Good: $50–75 Excellent: $75–110 Near Mint: $110–150 Mint with original box: $175–250+ Because yours appears original with good blades and intact bail, I would estimate its current market value at $85–100. This is a desirable American-made work knife and is popular with both Camillus collectors and TL-29 military/electrician knife collectors, especially in clean, unmodified condition.
