Re: Knives Can Talk On Ebay
The men on the porch were the National sales staff at the time of the photo. They are identified on the back of the framed photo.
The photo sold on EBay some years ago for a princely sum, $700.00 or more. Pretty sure it went to a collector of Royal Rochester Ware. That particular area of ceramic/china collecting has an avid following.
I know the address of the building, but I’m pretty sure it is no longer there.

Thanks! "ceramic/china collecting has an avid following" - I have filled an extra bedroom with our collection. I'm in the process of downsizing and having to pack it all up.RobesonsRme.com wrote:Thanks. That’s a cropped photo, there is a more expansive one.
I’m not at home, so I cannot access my PC.

Sometime this weekend I'm going to post my one remaining piece of Robeson cutlery - it's a set of knife and fork in the original box and need help dating it and how to prepare it for sale (needs a little help).

That building was located at 12 Saratoga Avenue.
I think I have used Google Street Scene before to find that, but it wasn’t there.
I have a Golden Pheasant coffee urn percolator, covered sugar and creamer. Still works. I don’t use it.

I have a copy of Tom's second book. I'll have to dig it out.
I bought the first one when it came out, it was a great book, I ended up passing it on to another collector a few years after I got it.

Re: Knives Can Talk On Ebay
Is it for sale? If so, send me a private message with the price and I will get the info to the buyer of the first book.
Thanks!

Re: Knives Can Talk On Ebay
What I have is the 2nd Edition, copyright year 2000, of KNIVES CAN TALK, Tom Kalcevic's first book on Robeson knives.
How does Tom's second book, shown by Knifeaholic above, compare with the earlier one I have?

Re: Knives Can Talk On Ebay
It is an expansive illustration of Robeson knives and collectibles.
Not much additional history, but an interesting display of what might be out there for the Robeson collector.
Years and years ago, I passed on a ShurEdge Cigar box. Have always regretted that, as I discovered later that it was definitely from The Robeson Cutlery Company, even though their name was nowhere on the box.
Even Tom Kalcevic never had one of those.

Thanks for explaining the differences between the first and second books.
As for the number of copies available to collectors, this is my understanding;
KNIVES CAN TALK -- the "first edition", basically a prototype: about 10 printed
KNIVES CAN TALK -- the "Second Edition", whose cover I post a photo of above: about 200 printed
ROBESON COLLECTABLES AND RARITIES –- about 200 printed.
