An Old Robeson "WARRANTED" Congress Knife

[RobesonsRme.com]

Robeson knives with the word, "WARRANTED" stamped on the master blade have two possible sources of manufacture. They were either German imports or they were made in the Sherwood-Bingham factory in Camillus, New York.

I have an ebony handled teardrop jack that I'm pretty sure was made in Camillus.

This little white bone handled congress patterned sold on Ebay last week for twenty-five dollars.

Whether German or made in Camillus, the knife dates prior to 1900.

I think I lean more toward Germany as the source for this one. The Ebay seller did not say whether there was a country of origin on the knife or not.

He also did not pay for large pictures on Ebay, so they will expand a bit, but not much.

I'll try to get a better shot of the tang stamp.

Someone got a very nice addition to their collection for not much money.
