Robeson pocket knives
Good morning Sunburst & Others ,
Thanks & I will be glad too, I have a couple of other's to photo and I'll try and get them altogether.
Most of the kitchen cutlery/items are already on display in the kitchen so that will be easy to photo. I just got to clear it through the Boss. You are on her turf in there, might be a dust ball or something.
I know this is a pocket knife forum, but since your a fan of Robeson.
Here is a couple of hammered tang straight razors, both American made and both with the same etch.
Gotta run, got to mail my Taxes today. Maybe I can find a pocket knife while I am standing in line at the P.O.
Y'all have a Nice & Safe Easter also.

Hey I appreciate you sharing your straight razors with us... Let me share what my book on Robeson Cutlery (Knives Can Talk! pg 34) says about them;9ball said: I know this is a pocket knife forum, but since your a fan of Robeson.
Here are a couple of hammered tang straight razors, both American made and both with the same etch.
Robeson started manufacture of their own line of straight razors in the 1910's. They were handled in either celluloid or composition and had the saying "The Razor that fits your face" etched on the blade. A label on the handle assured the benefits to tender skin and the nervous man. A razor hone, with the "ShureEdge" logo, was imported from Germany.
I love the ability to date some some of this stuff, that we share with each other and own. I mean just the fact that by 1915, Robeson employed about 400 people and the Perry factory was producing thousands of knives daily. Imports from Europe had ceased because of WWI...I find it beyond facinating that we are talking before WWI here and that your razors quite possibly could have been made by folks who shortly were going off and fight in WWI....
Ok enough of my rambling....
Later,

Hello Sunburst,
Ramble On.......I am interested in World History and Sharp Stuff fits right in there
A little factory history I can toss in here. Cannot remember were I read it maybe Knife World, but Robeson would hot stamp the razor tangs Shur Edge script logo and then beat them out leaving the hammered marks. A lot of time you cannot make out all of the Logo for the marks.
You will only see it on Robeson straight razors though. If you would like an image for future reference, just let me know an I will post one here.
I was right about The Boss. She wanted to clean around the Kitchen Cutlery display area first and move her collection of wax paper, paper towels, lunch bags, etc.
That will give me a couple of days to do an updated inventory also.
Look for them soon, I will start a thread of their own.

That would be just about incredible to walk in that building around 1920 or so and whip out my weeks paycheck from 2006 and have a little purchase power
Thanks Bill...You have quite a collection of post cards there...How long have you been collecting those?

Hi, Sunburst.
I've picked them up one at a time for about the last 30 years, or so. I also look for postcards from Woodlake, between Sherman and Denison, TX. We own a share of it and I have 15 different ones from there. Woodlake was a real tourist attraction between c.1880 & c.1920. There was a zoo an amusement park a casino and all sorts of other stuff. It's a metal detector PARADISE!!! I have found several hundred old coins and several hundred blob-top, Hutchinson bottles over there. It's only about a 30 minute drive from here. There has, also, been several Black Bass, over 12 lb. caught out of it. The lake is only about 10 acres and completely surrounded by TOTAL peace and quiet.
Glad you like my cutlery cards. So do I.

Hi, Joe62...
Wish I had a full set of them but they are hard to find and have gotten expensive. You can buy a good knife for what people want for them. Glad you enjoy them.
Hey, Bryan. How about a knife history forum, where everybody can post things of a historical nature? It would be nice to have it all in one place. I'm sure that a lot of the members have things that they would like to share. I think you are off to a pretty good start. I may have more, if I can find it. Thanks.

Thank you very much Joe, I appreciate you saying so... My little collection is starting to grow one at a time and these last additions were fun to find. My funds are as dry as the Sahara right now so they will have to keep me happy for a while... Thanks again
Hey Longbeachbum thanks for sharing those great looking knives...I was bidding on some railsplitters a while back and the auction was pulled so I never got the chance to purchase one, they are nice looking knives...Queen did a great job with the quality of those knives...

A beautiful little knife, cato.
Here's my little pearl and a Pocketeze that someone put away wet. It got a bit pitted but cleaned up some where along the way.
Such a sweety.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Here's a nice little Robeson with an even smaller "little sister" in last pictures.
3" and 2/34". The shorter knife was posted on previous page here.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
It's nice to bring this good thread up again with a new little sleeve board. I think this is an older knife. Not a Shuredge. And very well made, as one would expect from Robeson. 3 3/8".
Thanks Lyle
Thanks for looking.
