Thanks TJ & johnnierotten. I've had that one for a long time.

Here's a little barlow I got at a yard sale the other day.
A. W. Wadsworth & Son Germany.
It's quite small.
Hey, lets see some of the smallest Barlows out there.

JW

Heres my smallest.

Nice little Terrier.

One can find this pattern in both Terrier and Robeson and with regular bolsters, instead of Barlow's 1/3 the length of the knife.

Here is a Robeson Barlow with squared bolsters, instead of the more usual sleeveboard design.

It also has the "RCC" stamp.

That's a very rare combination. I have only seen that in old catalogs.

The arched stamp dates the knife prior to 1915.

The knife has hard rubber handles, a rather common material for Robeson in the early 1900's.

Had this knife had bone handles, I would have bid on it.

Someone bought it off Ebay. I waited a few weeks before posting this just in case an AAPK member had been the high bidder.

Just recently acquired the Barlow bug. Here are my latest. The one on top is Queen labeled followed by two Robesons. Each of the Robeson master blades are etched "Robeson-Master Craft/ 1 0f 200. Probably the center (Robeson) blade will become my daily carry as I prefer a smooth grip. The photos could have been better; perhaps one day they will be. In my view the fit and finish of all three knives is flawless.

I like the middle one for the blade shape!
