Yes, probably circa WWI.
They made it as a Terrier Brand too and they made Terriers from 1910 - 1916.

Thank you sir. Are the handles Cocabola or rosewood? We're they issued to the troops?

Re: Old robeson hobo
The handles on the two I have are cocobola.
I have no information re' these ever being issued. Probably an open market item.
The Robeson below is etched KUCO with an arrow through the etch. I have never been able to figure out what that represented.
The Terrier, as I said earlier, dates 1910 to 1916.

Thank you Charlie. I read alot on AAPK and new you were the guy who could answe my questions on the old robesons. Good luck on your search for the Terriers. Your knives are beautiful! All I ever find are the old HOKs. But usually pick them up at a decent price. My brother said out of all the knives I own he likes that old robeson hobo the best! Ha. Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions. Appreciate it!
