Re: Robeson pocket knives
You guys are finding and posting some nice old Robeson knives.
I think that 453 Congress is a fairly rare pattern.
I wish they had put a coping blade in it, instead of two pens.
I have one that I think is a bit later than Joe's. It has some unusual green/brown bone on it.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Here are a couple of small Robeson PocketEze folders I found and bought recently at the OKCA show. A serpentine split back Whittler pattern and a serpentine double-end single spring pen. Both wear beautiful but different colored/dyed jigged bone handles. The Whittler has the more traditional looking jigged bone and the single spring the worm groove style jigging. The two blade is Robeson/ShurEdge (script)/USA and the Whittler is Robeson/ShurEdge(script)/Rochester. The two blade pen is pattern number 622756 and the Whittler is pattern number 633400. Each is 3 inches closed and the Whittler has coined liners. The two blade pen has hammered pins/brass liners and the Whittler looks like it has spun pins/steel liners.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Lloyd, those are nice knives.
I've had a 400 whittler for some time, but not nearly so nice.
Also, a 400 two blade.
And I have a cell handled knife similar to your 756. It, however, has no pattern number.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
That 008 is a fairly scarce pattern, but I’ve had it as a penknife and as a stag handled whittler.
I still have pearl and ebony handled penknives.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Thank you, Lloyd.
These stamps are worn and are hard to read which is why I showed the pen blade only.

Thank you for your comments, Charlie.
Would you consider showing your knives?

Re: Robeson pocket knives
I no longer own the whittler, so it's not my knife to show.
Here is the pearl handled 008 penknife and some Ebay photos of the ebony handled one. I could take some better photos of that one if you wish.
Also a nicely etched knife that sold on Ebay some years ago. I bid, but lost. Gorgeous Knife.

Re: Robeson pocket knives
Thank you Charlie, for showing the pictures of your very nice knives.
It's always nice to see the Wharncliffe blade intact where mine has been used very hard at the tip.
The etched pearl is a real beauty.
