Up for sale is an authentic, original 1950s "The Lone Ranger" multi-tool pocket knife, manufactured in the USA by Camco (a prominent division of the historic Camillus Cutlery Company).
This is a highly sought-after piece of mid-century Western Americana and television memorabilia.
Design & Features:
Front Scale: Beautiful cream/yellow swirl celluloid handles featuring crisp, original blue graphics of the Lone Ranger and his horse, Silver. It includes the iconic text "The Lone Ranger / Hi-Yo Silver" and is clearly stamped with the official "© T.L.R., INC." copyright.
Reverse Scale: Decorated with five silver-tone metal studs and the highly collectible, raised three-dimensional metal "silver bullet" emblem embedded in the center.
Tools: Includes the main pocket knife blade and a combination flathead screwdriver/bottle opener. The bolster features the original lanyard/belt loop.
Tang Stamp: Clearly stamped "CAMCO USA" at the base of the main blade.
Size: Measures approximately 3-3/8 inches long when closed.
Authenticity Note (Original vs. Replica):Please buy with confidence! In 1993, Camco released a 60th-anniversary replica set of this knife. This listing is for the authentic 1950s original. You can easily identify this as the true mid-century vintage piece by its authentic carbon steel aging, natural patina, and structural construction, which differ completely from the modern 1990s anniversary reissues.
Condition:This knife is in good vintage condition with a fantastic look. The handles are fully intact with no major cracks, and the graphics remain vivid and highly legible. The carbon steel blades show a beautiful, dark natural patina and tarnish consistent with its 70+ year age. The blades have been left completely uncleaned and unpolished to preserve the original vintage look for collectors.
