Rare Hoffritz Victoria Swiss Army Knife Original Outdoorsman Victorinox Camping
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Hoffritz-Victoria-Swiss-Army-Knife-Original-Outdoorsman-Victorinox-Camping/163559983484



Starting bid $47 and a buy it now of $200. 

Crazy for a '82-'84 Camper.

How is that even a Hoffritz. I don’t see it marked on the scale or the blade. Or did I miss something?
And missing a few tool to be called a Outdoorsman!

I'm pretty sure this seller just clicked the 'sell one like this' button for the listing after seeing one with the Camping inlay. Probably an 'honest' mistake. I just thought it was a funny and pretty big one.

I think a Hoffritz Camper from this time would have just the hot stamp in the scale. I also believe the 'original' Outdoorsman was discontinued by this time...and that it wasn't re-booted for the Marlboro version until ~'93.

I’m inclined to agree with you on the honest mistake part, especially with the $200 buy it now.  :dunno:

 :facepalm: It gets better:



Updated photo with bent corkscrew...and a whopping 50% reduction to Buy-it-now at $100 + $9.75 shipping.

Somehow I feel responsible for driving prices up on anything with a CAMPING inlay.  :D

I'd have a hard time offering $0 plus the listed shipping. And I collect a lot of broken crap for the fodder box(es).
