Photos Metal Monday - Post Your Metal TRADITIONAL Pics

[Tx308]

Picked up this unique Robeson last year. Based on tang stamp alone it dates to 1917-1939 although there are a few who believe it to be from the 1950's. I lean towards the later part of the 1930's as it was a high point of art deco styling and also a time when aluminum was considered a premium material. It has aluminum scales and is linerless with an aluminum spacer between the springs with a closed length of exactly 4".

Thinking metal Monday I think Alox, which I carry frequently.
Today, I'm actually carrying an Vic Alox Electrician but I don't have a recent photo of it.
Hence this Farmer photo (taken yesterday) which has not been shown before.

Jack Black Jack your Stan Shaw ruler knife is a real treasure!
Have a good week all.

I carry an Electrician in my bag everyday - I think I have about 2 photos of it!

Thanks a lot James, it was the last knife I had from Stan

I remember, quite some years ago now, someone recounting how they had bumped into Charlie waynorth at a knife show, and he was running round trying to find metal-handled knives for me! What a great pal! The story touched me as much as the gift of the knives Charlie picked up that day, one of which is this handsome Schrade Penknife

I found a couple of mediocre pics of the NY factory on line, Jack, but couldn't find the angle of the representation on your knife!!

Thanks for those Charlie, very interesting to see I know it is a very different situation, but the first photo kind of reminds me of the smaller River Durolle at Thiers

I think it's safe to say these were a second quality advertiser to the pen knives. They have less detail on the handles and they have flat-backed blades.

This one was probably a second of the second quality knives, if they meant to have rivet-heads on both sides.
