Neat old Robe Jeff. I'm a sucker for a nice (or not so nice) Robeson. That one is definitely nice.

---
BTW, I learned from a friend, this one is officially OK, it is between about 45-65 years old.

Here is one of my Robeson Shuredge OB (1911-1940). I know it is not the good looking jigged bone you folks are showing or the butter & molasses Jeff posted, but it is nice pearl.

Thanks Duncan and Brad, I'm happy to show some of these pieces and Johns photos really put them on show. Here is my Catt OB

I hate to interrupt all the gorgeous mother of pearl, but....
I just acquired my first Cattaraugus, and in searching for any information, I found this old post of yours, chuko

Yours is as close to mine as I can find anywhere, and I was wondering if you would know, or would know how to find out how old it is. Pattern number 22156, ebony.

I ask because the knives on my desk are having an argument reguarding who is the oldest

Thanks for any info.

:thumbup::thumbup: See you there Brad!

Nice Cat R8!

I wish I could help with dating, but all I know is that the real Cattaraugus stopped production in 1963. The numbering system seemed the same throughout production, maybe someone else can help. Nice wharncliffe though.

Thanks for looking. When I find an old one, I can get a little obsessive with trying to figure the age.

Got this Remington R219 in today. Never been able to own one till now. Monster EO and snaps like a bear trap! About as HEAVY as a bear trap too.

Campbellclanman · Jan 28, 2014

Wow!, who said knives weren't dangerous - you could throw that at an assailant!!!
