Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Finally a new, (to me), knife to report, a genuine Camillus TL-29 found at one of my honey hole local thrift stores. Hardwood handle, stamped with the model number and in pretty good condition, (shown as found, uncleaned). Glad to be collecting again, at least for the time being.. They were having a half off sale today so I got out the door for under $10, not too bad for a Tuesday. Anyone have an idea of it's age?

Heres some information on the cammilus tang stamps Syd, I hope this is helpful.  I couldn't quite see the entire stamp on yours.

Oh yeah, I said I would post pics of the Buck #315 Yachtsman I found the same week as the TL-29 ebay. It was a listing with bad photos so many folks ignored it, but I saw through that and realized it was in decent shape, so I snagged this one for $26, way way under the usual going price for this model. I'll be sending it in for a Buck factory "spa treatment", it should clean up well and fill that slot in my 300 Series collection nicely.

Thanks Jeremy, I get lucky once in awhile. The thrift store I found this and the BSA knife in is a Catholic charity and for some reason gets knives in more often than other thrifts in the area. They also had a genuine SAK w/black handles in the same showcase, but I didn't have enough extra cash to get both so I chose the TL-29. The best part was that it was a 50% off sale day, so with that and the "old guy" discount I got outta there for under $10. Needless to say I will stop by there again after the first, (pay day), maybe I'll get lucky again!

OMG I thrift all the time.  Since I buy the grandkids clothes, they all wear from the thrift and love it

You know me Jan, I'm a bargain hound. Thrift stores have been a part of my life since my mom and I went "junkin'" every week when I was a kid, we would hit every one in town so it's second nature to me now. About half my clothes comes from thrifts, you could say I find knives occasionally when I'm shopping for a new-to-me Hawaiian shirt, (I have like 20, it's another of my collecting fixations). I miss those times with mom, I think about her every time I go into a thrift, maybe that's why I do it so often.
