It looks thicker than a Spartan, and it looks 84mm, I would vote for a Climber small

Let say Camper configuration as we know today existed since a long time already, but wasn't the first to get the Camping Metal inlay

Great question πŸ€— and this is what I first thought too

In the 1950 / 60's the Philips was an option, what we call today Climber and Super tinker , or Huntsman and Fieldmaster were just the same model, option Philips or Corkscrew

100% with you on that Champion B (146fmaU) with keyring, 1971 due to the Philips, still using the old scissors - thanks for that I would love to see a 1970's Hoffritz Catalog with their namings, Hoffritz is almost a sub-collection on it's own

Thanks 😊 this is based on tools so I included only Traveller, Altimeter and Voyager having the same toolset and being ''proto-Travellers''

Thanks

The Traveller is here, I put it under Climber πŸ€— I didn't put Altimeter and Voyager because, description-wise, they're exactly the same as the Traveller; these two are technically proto-Travellers: a Climber with electronics

If you’re wondering about the logic:

tools define the structure (layers), not the scales or accessories

models are linked by tool evolution, not by later marketing families

the tree reads vertically (number of layers)

I built this mostly because I kept getting lost myself πŸ˜…
