From what Charlie has posted, theis appears to be an early stamp, however it is not marked Germany. Charlie or anyone - any ideas on this stamp, the ere that it was used?
Stamped on each blade, no markings on the back tangs.

Nothing specific but I'd say it's an early stamp for Robeson 1920s or earlier. Sweet little congress and love the long pulls.

Thanks...yeah from Charley's posted photos it looks like the stamp used on German made Robesons but there is no GERMANY on this one.

It’s a pre-1900 stamp.
Previously, when I encountered that stamp without a Germany mark, I thought them to have been made in Camillus by the Sherwood and Bingham cutlers.
I have been dissuaded of that by some people I consider to be very knowledgeable re’ knives in general, but not necessarily specifically to Robeson.
They assure me that the little underlined “O” in “Co” is German and the knives had an inked marking for that.
They finally wore me down and I no longer attempt to argue my previous beliefs when something like this comes up.

Thanks!! That was my take on it as well, the underlined lower case "o" seems to be a German thing.
