Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
thumper your Merrimac set is a good one especially as it has the 'tumbler' (drinking glass that is not glass). Most of these sets of eating utensils do not have a container for drinking from. Your pics are not good so nature of the handle material cannot be guessed at. Some sets have ivory handles but more are imitation ivory.

The handles are some type of plastic not celluloid.Miller Bro`s wrote:Nice ones Wayne!
What is the handle material on the Muller and Schmidt?
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
Dimitri that Aerial sure looks fine. Hope the celluloid sticks around for another 100 or so. Love the auto motif on the handle. What's on the pile side?

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
Does anyone know the value of a Robesons Pocket Outfit #50 in very good condition, from about 1930-1950? under the Robeson discussion, there are pictures posted of one of these kits, but that one in at least 20-30 years older than mine-
any insight would be greatly appreciated, with thanks..

Nice kit Nigel! Welcome to AAPK!
I have the same kit in the same leather wallet but the name is A.K.B. The Kit, or something like that. I will have to find it and take some pics. I found mine in a house I rented in the 1970s. I had forgot I even had it.

Here's an old fork and a corkscrew that apparently belonged to a set.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
Thank you, Dimitri.
Unique kit you showed last.
Corkscrews are rough on covers, (cracking) but this one has held up.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
Joe - That is nice - Perfect tool to open some wine and eat some appetizers ...
Dimitri - Now that is a cool set ... but am I seeing this right as it is hard to enlarge enough for my eyes - optional blades for the handle including a dagger??
Older Cutler - That Peres set is sweet and looks to be almost unused ...

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
I think Dimitri's set with the odd blades is a specialty set, such as a cobbler or saddle-maker might use.
I'm quite sure he know's exactly what it is.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
Thanks Lee and Charlie.
It's a Farriers knife set, watch this video and you will see how some of the knives are used. The knives in the video are fixed blades not a kit like I have where you can swap blades.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
This was a great thread to read thru. Some amazing kits here! I just got a 'new' tool kit...it's a Napanoch
It's the first time I've actually held one - it's surprisingly solid for something that's a century old. I could see this one giving another century or two of service. Talk about being built like a brick s#@thouse!

Bought this little Richards kit from Scott. It's like new and very nice looking.

Aye Jerry, 'tis a bonney wee scotch plaid knife set! Not sure which clan that tartan belongs to but my Scottish ancestors probably would recognize it.
Glad this old thread was revived as there's some interesting reading and amazing cutlery sets shown. I'll contribute this KA-BAR take-apart slot hobo set, recently shown here in another thread.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
Thanks Charlie
No the tops just unscrew to fill, no mechanical way to close them off to stop spillage.
I have seen them with a ball of cotton inside to keep the contents inside.

Re: Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets
I was going back and reading some old posts in this thread when I noticed that your Robeson set has the same markings as my Daniel Peres set, that is D.R.G.M. This is the German "Deutsches Reich Gebrauchs Muster" which translates as "German Reich Registered Design". The Daniel Peres set I have also has the Ale Keg stamping that they used on USA imported sets. Even though yours is Robeson, it must have been German made to have that D.R.G.M. marking.Nigel wrote:Does anyone know the value of a Robesons Pocket Outfit #50 in very good condition, from about 1930-1950? under the Robeson discussion, there are pictures posted of one of these kits, but that one in at least 20-30 years older than mine-
