Here is an old Robeson. I believe that this tang stamp represents the period 1900-1916.

Joe schlepped a Schlemper onto the thread! J.L. is going to be angry when his corkscrew is missing for that next bottle of wine.

Those are 2 interesting knives, Joe, albeit names I don't know. I like them! ::tu:: ::tu::
