Royal Brand Knives

[Miller Bro's]

Royal Brand, Goins says 1914-54, located at 106 Fifth Ave. N.Y. they were retailers not manufactures.

Anyone have a knife with this mark? If so please post it in this thread

[tongueriver]

I think Woolworths?

Royal.....

I found the following information in the below, pictured book.
"(75 S)" I don't know what the "75" means. But, if I read it correctly,
the "S" means that the author saw an actual example of the knife.
"MB(M)" means mark (shield) side of master blade.

You're welcome Dimitri.
It doesn't seem to be a very common piece of cutlery.

I have these 2 Royal Brand USA pens, 3 1/4" and 3 3/8". The smaller Stainless one with the flea bite has half-stops and "S"s on the pile side of the blades.

I figured these were made by Utica Cutlery Co?

Here's mine.

Here is an old thread. I do believe that the trademark was used by Woolworth stores. And they, like other dealers, had knives made from multiple sources. This included (obviously) Utica, but also imports.

I also put in a request for information on BladeForums so maybe something will come up there, as well.

Looks like they had at least 2 levels of quality, with different stamps.

Here's mine.

Who do you think made that one Roger?

I bought this pocket knife back in January 2021. Before Dimitri started this topic. For some unknown reason, I forgot to post it here. So, I am posting it now. It is a ROYAL BRAND, three blades, one tang stamp, 3 5/8" closed, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ROYAL BRAND (over) USA"
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

I like it! Looks suspiciously like a #72 clone ... I like to have a #72 (or #72 clone) on my EDC shelf for EDC because it is such a useful knife for small jobs. What year would you say it was made (more or less)? ... Also, great photos Skip ...(or possibly Ken98k ) ...

Thank you, GSPTOPDOG.
I did post it under the "Camillus 72 Clones" topic, way back on Friday, January 1, 2021.
I have no idea what year it was manufactured. I would not even attempt a guess.

[GSPTOPDOG]

Skip... a bad Camillus 72 Clone is like a bad day fishing ... it doesn't exist....
