It's not that simple here Harry. What if you have half a college education like me, which makes you half smart or half dumb, depending on how somebody looks at it ?
But I got that figured out too ................. if, for instance I am with my good buddies from the Salt River Longrifle club (a rather salty bunch), then I would surely say " Let's go get some supper or grub". If I am with some of my friends with more learnin', then I would likely say " would you all like to go to dinner"? My knives and Elijah J. don't care how I say it. It's a science my friend.

I have a niece that lived in New York that came to a Christmas dinner at my mom's house some years ago and she has six years of college education ... which is a good thing. While we were waiting on supper to be served (or dinner in her case), she blurted out that people in New York were so much smarter than us Kentucky people, which is not a nice thing to say. Nobody answered ......... just eye rolls.

Some time during the meal she was ranting about the New York snow plows burying their car in snow, which was parked on the street. Somebody asked her about why she didn't move her car in the driveway. She replied that they couldn't because the engine was locked up in the VW, which was only a few years old. My mom asked her how the engine got broken and she said the mechanic told her they didn't have any oil in it. My mom asked her why they didn't check the oil in it and she replied that she didn't think they needed to because it was a VW and her dad told her they would run forever.

Nice stag today ......... you always tend to corner the best !

Thank you all the kind remarks and/or emojis. Maybe you guys detected that I was excited to get that knife. I am pleased to add it to my increasing in size, slowly but surely, Robeson collection. I reckon I can call it a small collection now, as this one made eleven old Robeson's. The "Pocket Eze" series of Robeson's seem to interest me the most.

I didn't learn the back story until after I paid for it. The grandson told me that he was selling part of his late grandfather's collection and that his grandfather had worked as a cutler at the old Camillus factory. He didn't tell me this, but, I suspect he inherited the collection. He also told me that he (the grandson) lives just down the street from the old Camillus factory (which made me wonder if he might have inherited his grandpa's house too) and that he actually watched the old factory burn to the ground. He followed by saying "that was a sad day."

I inquired further about his grandfather and he promised to tell me more soon, as well as send me some pictures of some nice old Camillus knives he will be selling.

The photos below are from the 1908-1930 catalog. I only have five pages of that catalog, but, have the full catalog headed my way. The top photo shows the same frame and punch as mine. The Mechanics knife, below it, shows a different frame and the same Carpenter's blade that is on my Craftsman's knife. Hoping that the full catalog will show my model.

Love your new Robeson, Mr. P, and that is a great story! Also, glad to make the acquaintance of the "carpenter's blade" -- looks quite useful, and makes for a unique combination!

 

[JW225]

In the mountains for the weekend with my bunny knife. Ran out of light for a decent picture.

I'd say that's more than a decent picture!

 

[JW225]

Man that's a good lookin knife!!!

The little cracked piece of bone finally gave out on the old High Carbon Cattle. I probably shoulda wicked some super glue in there. It was cracked when I got it some years back. Well, if it shows up in the bottom of a pocket in a pair of jeans, I’ll glue it back. Until then, not gonna worry about too much. It’s still a favorite of mine.

Couple handsome knives!

I better keep my Jersey learnin to myself then

Enjoy the sunshine Todd

Thank you Mr. Jack and a fantastic pairing for you today.
I didn't intend to start a collection of Robeson's, but, like a few other brands that I became interested in, is slowly becoming one. Slowly is the best way anyway.
Love the old wrench from England. I assumed that only in the USA do you have to buy imperial and metric tools anymore. I reckon my thinking was flawed.

Thank you very much my friend, I know how those kind of things happen When I first started work, I needed Imperial AF, Imperial Whitworth, and Metric tools. I suspect most of the young uns get by with Metric here now, but my the tools on my friend's tool stall are almost entirely Imperial, and they sell well

Did she get invited again?! Like most things here, class is a factor in how people refer to meal times Margaret Thatcher famously told a group of school children, "There's no such thing as 'dinner', it's 'lunch'!" Which demonstrates a great deal of historical ignorance on her part! Historically though, there is quite a lot of politics to the decline of 'dinner', which was once the main meal of the day, among common folk, and it's replacement with 'lunch', which began to happen with the onset of the industrial revolution. Historian Peter Beaumont, (among many others), discusses it at length, in his book The London Hanged. Historically, among Sheffield cutlers, (and others), there was also another light meal squeezed in between breakfast and the middday meal, a light snack with ale - or just ale! - called 'Forenoon Drinkin' '

Ok ......... let me get you all straightened out on all this. it takes simple minded Kentucky people to figure all this out.
In Kentucky, if it is morning and you say "Lets go to dinner" it means let's go to lunch. If you say lets go to lunch, it means lets go to lunch or dinner.
If it's afternoon and you say "Let's go to dinner", it means let's go to supper. If you say Lets go to supper and it's afternoon, then means the same at let's go to dinner.
If you have low learning, you'll likely say "Let's go to supper". If you have a college degree, you'll absolutely say " Let's go to dinner."...................
and neither way is wrong ! Savvy ?

and what does all this have to do with pocket knives. Absolutely nothing ! ......................... unlessin' you are planning on taking your dinner knife to supper.
