Old Doctor Knives

[Miller Bro's]

Didn't see a thread dedicated to old Doctor knives.

I only have a few old ones, they seem hard to find in good condition but I pick one up when I can.
This one has nice jigged bone handles

Show 'em if you got 'em

Great looking doc.

[edge213]

A worn out old Robeson.

[edge213]

Three Case docs.

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks David, nice group of doctor knives

[edge213]

I've got a bunch more, but their not old.

Here are a couple from Robeson.

The Strawberry bone one might not be as "Old" as Dimitri was intending, but it's pre-1960.

The pearl is pre-WWII.

The three blade pearl is not the typical pattern for "Doctor's Knife", but it is a physician's pattern with flexible spatula blade for blending compounds or sorting/counting pills and tablets, a corkscrew for opening old medicine bottles and a pen blade. It predates 1900 and was made for Millard Robeson in Germany.

Charlie, the strawberry bone doc is beautiful.

They do seem difficult to find and normally have to pay up to acquire them. I only have 3.

Nice knives guys! This H. Boker is the only one I have.

A great showing of knives here.

I'm not sure who made this one. 3 9/16" closed.

EDIT: No number stamped on this one.

[Miller Bro's]

Joe, it's a Robeson

[FRJ]

It's amazing when you get a clue...........: Thank you, Dimitri.

I can see how that would say Rochester on that secondary tang. And the "R" is missing in front of the "C" on the main blade.
Well, that's pretty nice. I've got two Dr. knives from Robeson. The other one will surface later.

Here is a Rhode Island Knife Co. pearl. 3 1/4" closed. There can't be too many knives with this stamp laying around.

[Miller Bro's]

Glad I could help you Joe

Wow! Now that's my kind of knife

And your right can't be many of those in circulation

[FRJ]

Here's another one that has to have a lonely existence.

Union Knife Works N.Y.C. ....... 3 3/4" closed.

[FRJ]

Here's a nice little Cattaraugus. 2 7/8" closed.

[FRJ]

Here's a Curtin & Clark Cutlery Co. St. Joseph, Mo. .... 3 1/2" closed.

[FRJ]

Here's another Robeson. Smaller frame. 3" closed. # 622195

[FRJ]

Here's a very nice little Miller Bros. 2 9/16" closed.

[FRJ]

Here is an Oakland Cutlery Co.
A very well made knife with a kind of composite material for covers.

I believe that's all I have to show.

Thanks for looking.

[Miller Bro's]

That's quite a show of knives Joe!

I enjoyed looking at each and every one of them

[FRJ]

I'm so glad you did, Dimitri.

It's a lot of fun and my pleasure.

I hope we see more.

[Miller Bro's]

I hope we see more.

Me too Joe

Here's another old one, not in tip top condition but still complete.

[peanut740]

Quite a lineup MB and Joe.

[FRJ]

Thank you, Roger.

Dimitri, that is a respectable old soldier.
