The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
I have a stumper for you. I have this pocket knife passed down from my grandfather and from his father and maybe beyond. Cannot find out anything about it the manufacturer or date. I used to carry it but don't any more.
The shield looks like an elongated Winchester shield. The stamp is hard to read, except the second line that says CUT CO. Both lines are straight and the top line looks like it has about 7 or 8 letters, maybe an or at the beginning, but maybe not the start. It was hard to get a good pic of the stamp.
I thought about using acid to bring it out but do not want to.

I'll have to check my records this week and see what I have. I have accumulated a good amount of information over the years, and enjoy trying to figure out these old knives myself. Its going to be a busy week, but let me see what I can dig up.
In terms of Camillus, I have done an extensive amount of research on the early brands of Adolph Kastor and Camillus. If you look on the KNIFE WORLD website and do a search, you'll find the spreadsheet I put together of the Kastor (i.e. Camillus) brands up to 1947. I would recommend downloading the list and seeing if something matches from there. You might just get a hit. Enjoy!
