Well Terry we looked at pics and tried to find some comparisons . The problem is many of the values are "mint" or "near mint' condition.  I think best case if you sold on eBay or something you might get  $20-40 dollars each for the knives. The Camco is in the best shape but it is in the low end of the Camillus line so might go for around the same price at best. When the knives are mint they usually would be un-sharpened or used and still in box type knives.

The pics are good and so is your information, I wish we could be a bit more definitive for you. ;)

that first pic if that is the case xx 3347.....that should be a 3 blade knife by the model #...pic looks like a 2 blade knife to me, so it blade has probably been replaced at some time.

back in the mid 90's we called those knives "Can Knives".....because almost every dealer had a can or tin of old knives for sale at a real reasonable price (10bucks) to entice you to their tables...plus it was more in our range to afford as new collectors.

I am sure Can Knives are not as cheap anymore....20 bucks a knife would be reasonable to pay a buddy.

Those pics of the Case are fine Terry, I think Sue is right for used knives in that condition that's a more than fair price.

Ok sounds good, thanks for the info, about what years would you say the first three are from? And anybody know the maker of the RB knife?

yellow composition handle 3347 case stockman usa era 65-69 would be classed by the traders price guide
  (mint 150 bucks)....yours would grade in at very good (level 3) with mint being #1....so price would be a little higher than the 20buck can knife...more like 50-60 for that one if you could find one.
