Hi,

I have a single bladed, black composite "wormed" scaled pruner.
Only marking is a tang stamped "ROBESON CURVED) / PAT / APPFOR"
I'm trying to date the knife. No other stamps or marks.
Please help if you can.

Not sure I can help you.

From the description you gave, I'd guess 1920's or 30's, possibly earlier.

That handle material is certainly consistent with those dates.

We'd need some photos of the knife to see if we can figure out what patent had been applied for.

If we knew that, we could possibly locate the patent, if it was actually granted.
