Ugly Duckling

The first Robeson knives were imported by Millard Robeson from England and Germany exclusively. This continued from 1979 until 1896 when Robeson began manufacturing knives in the United States. Since inception, the company has gone through several reorganizations & eventually ended up as a Queen Cutlery brand.

How is the master blade marked?

I suspect your knife is going to date 1910's to 1920's.

There should be a third line in the master blade stamp, either "U.S.A.", "ROCHESTER" or "ROCHESTER, N.Y.".

Whichever it is will determine the date range.
