$12 antique mall find🤑 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/4Nn55nkL/IMG-2325.jpg) Nice. Is that authentic imitation jigged bone?  Seriously, though, I'm not seeing the authorized Boy Scout insignia on that knife.

It looks to be in decent condition. Those things have become quite collectible and therefore bring in decent money. I was at a flea market two weeks ago and saw a US made Old Timer folding knife in very questionable condition, price $65. I was thinking $25 maximum so I didn’t even try bartering. I just walked away.
Clean it up and gut a deer or two with it. I still prefer the classics.
Nick Thanks, Nick.

Seems strong Hawk. For a user, no sheath. Plenty of $25 knives that will gut a deer. Boulder Co. Western or Camillus Western? Huge price difference right there.
Bottom line, if you are happy.
America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

If I want it, I buy it. I’m not living in the 60’s. I won’t be around in another 30 years, hoping for another twenty at least. If I want it, I buy it, good on you Hawk. Keep that economy churning, you can’t take it with you.
I have a friend who bids on guns but quits at $300, let’s just say he doesn’t get anything worthwhile. It’s not like he doesn’t have the coin, he just thinks it’s 1964.

Nick LOL. Exactly. I think that's going around.

I got a pair of like-new Justin sea turtle boots and a pair of Tony lama anteater off eBay and paid less than 200 for each pair. I sold them a few years ago because I hardly ever used them and got over a thousand for each pair.

Make an offer if they suggest it. Got 12 volt refrigerators that way. Good product newer brand. Specs indicated quality
I have that same knife. Put new scales on a few years ago. It never served a useful purpose I can remember but is a good size and shape.

Way back when, I couldn’t afford a Bulova, so I bought a Caravelle Sea Hunter, new, for $49
Look today, they are being sold on EBay from $350-$600, depending g on condition
Unreal, if I wasn’t attached to mine owning is for so long, I’d sell it!

$12 antique mall find🤑 I got a Case folding hunter like that but in much better shape complete with sheath for 50 cents at a lawn sale. Also a like new, never fired .50 cal. T/C Hawken for 35.00 and a like new Filson upland jacket for 3.00.

Cool, but do you realize that the one I bought was made by the only maker of fixed blade knives (Western of Colorado, defunct as an actual company as of 1984) authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to have their logo engraved on the blade tang, and that this is one of those? Camillus (also now defunct) served that role for Boy Scout multitool folding knives. Cheap foreign imports really wrought havoc on traditional American knife companies.

This vintage (Western Knife Company) Boy Scout knife was priced at $129.99, and I offered $75.00. The seller accepted the offer. ![[Linked Image from i.ebayimg.com]](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CuIAAOSwGUNgy8cL/s-l960.jpg) Similar thing happened to me on a recent Case knife purchase. It really pays to give a low ball offer. Some people just want to move their stuff. Had one just like it in the ‘60’s……lost it! Still bothers me today. memtb

I've got a collection of nearly 100 old American made knives. Most from companies no longer in business and many of them gone long ago. No boy scout Westerns but I do have cub scout and boy scout versions of Camillus folders with the insignias.

TRH look up the word IRREGARDLESS?
