Joe, advertising knives for sell in this forum is not the correct place. There are forums specifically created for that purpose.

Your little German made knife is from the mid-1950's. Robeson was trying to compete with other imported knives and remain in business. There were about a half dozen patterns they imported and also numerous kitchen cutlery and carving sets.

Your two blade congress pattern was made by Camillus after Robeson went out of business in 1965. The name, "Robeson" was purchased by a group called Cutler Federal and they contracted Camillus to make the knives.

Both these knives are perfectly serviceable, but have little collector value.

I once had full boxes of several patterns of the Camillus made knives and they were difficult to sell.
