Tom Kalcevic in Knives Can Talk! dates that stamp 1922 to 1939.

Robeson used to coat display board knives with a clear lacquer. If that is what's on your knife, it can be removed with finger nail polish remover if you desire.

Very nice knife for under $20.00.

Thanks Charlie and to all those who commented.Aside from using the old #2 pencil on the rust spots and a bit of oil I think I'm going to leave it as is.I have plenty of shiny knives

This was a case where if I hadn't asked the proprietor I never would have known the knife was there.It was the only knife in the shop(except for a cheapo souvenir knife)and hidden away in a small box and half buried on the lower shelf of the display case. I guess I'm going to have to look harder and ask more questions.All to make the hunt even more exciting.

Ray, are you sure it is wood? Robeson used a black comp. that is very similar, hard to see in the photos.

Whatever the case it is a very nice old knife

This is an oddly built old knife. Covered backsprings and pinless construction. It almost looks like the bolsters are pewter and possibly poured right to the liners. Never really seen a knife built quite like this.

Great knives, everyone!

Here are a few of mine. The last one is a bit unusual because the ebony is jigged.

I'm not a fan of wood handles but this GEC #15 Huckelberry Boy's Knife with ebony handles just tickles me clear to the bone. It's not old of course, but to me, it looks old and if it had rat-tail bolsters, it would look like it came right off the shelf of an early 20th century hardware store.

I agree Jerry, looks like it could've been sittin in a case filled with other older Ebony beauties.

Very unique and interesting knife. The Germans certainly had some creative mechanical ideas.

Neat to see a jigged ebony wood handled knife, and I believe the only one in this thread?
Can you make out the name on the blade tang?

The tangs are stamped "A.F. Bannister & Co. Newark, NJ". The company was in business from 1884 to 1915.

Nope. It's definitely ebony.

Nice harness jack Cato! Love it. Got this schrade a couple days ago. It has the s.c.c.o stamp. Sorry for the crappy pic. At work on break and had it in my pocket so thought I'd share.
