I just received this Robeson #722236 2.5" MoP Barlow - I love it! The tang is so small it just says "R.C." / "Co." - and that barely fits. The little guy walks & talks like a good Robeson. I didn't pay very much for it - unless you price it by the inch!
Charlie: Any idea what year range this comes from?

Edit: Silly me - I should have checked the AAPK research page on Robeson tang stamps. It says 1900-1939. Cool!

Re: Robeson Tiny Barlow!
That is a nice little knife.
I have one of those and several of Robesons other small pearls.
You're right, all of them are sound and serious Robeson knives.

Nice little knife.
Robeson made that pattern with a long bolster, like yours and also a short bolster.
Technically, the long bolstered ones can correctly be called a "Barlow", as you have just done.
Robeson's tiny little pearl handled knives are some of my favorites.
