Not my auction, I'm not bidding.
Printers blocks, from the years that Robeson owned the Kinfolks brand.

Steve,
I saw those and it's interesting that they tie the Kinfolks knives to the Perry factory.

Look at the nail pulls, not their location, but their shape. They are punched, not cut, into the blade.
And that brown bone is typical for the Robeson made Kinfolks.
Pretty sure that one was made by Robeson in the 1950's.
It's not a reproduction, however. Emerson Case bought Kinfolks, so Robeson owned the marque when the knives were made. They just weren't made in the original Kinfolks factory by the Kinfolks workmen.
Here's a Robeson 623595 Muskrat with genuine strawberry bone.
