I have no idea. I asked about the tang stamp on another thread.
I was told by Miller Bro's that it said THE EAGLE CUTLERY, but not
where it was located. Just that it was probably European, most likely
in Germany. The knife came from a vendor in Wisconsin, so that seems
to make sense.

Thanks for showing your Eagle knife here, New Windsor.

Thanks, Ken. Nice Tuxedo you have there. I hope it's a pre Hammer stamp.
The idea of specifically carrying one of those in the vest pocket of your suit somehow appeals to me in an old timey way.
Full disclosure: I don't own a suit.

When Robeson started putting pattern numbers on their knives, sometime in the early 1900's, they gave this pattern the number 001.

Not sure it is a true "Tuxedo". I've always called it a balloon-ended swell-centered penknife.

Ebony handles.

Has a rare and I think, very early "ShurEdge" stamp. Circa 1903. Only knife I have ever seen with that stamp, as far as I can recall.

Saw this one on Ebay years ago. Terrible seller photograph, but it's a Robeson, so I copied the pic.

Very nice knives.

Neither do I... well one that would fit any more...

I'm pretty sure that's the definition of a Tuxedo pattern right thar...
btw... very nice knife with a fancy lookin' tang stamp!

here are some of mine not all the best but I like them Fun to find and buy

[FRJ]

Nice group of knives you have there, Lakeside6a. I see you have a nice quill in there.

[lakeside6a]

[KAW]

Here's a Southington tuxedo I got recently.
Southington stopped making knives in 1905.

Very nice knife with great handles and no cracks. There are so many vintage Tuxedo knives 'out there' that they must have been part of the well dressed man's 'attire', along with wallet, keys and handkerchief.

Agreed, and in the case of Southington knives, in place of keys, riding gloves.

[KAW]

A very knice piece of history you have there! Joe
Great find!

[FRJ]

Thank you, Ken.

[New_Windsor_NY]

I forgot I had this one. Can't figure out the tang stamp.
? Cutlery? Where is it from? Germany? ........?

[FRJ]

Thank you for showing your knife, NWNY.

I can't tell who made it but it does seem to be German. Nice little pearl.

[Berryb]

I have one that is really close to this one, tang stamp, Magnetic cutlery Germany.

Bruce

Thank you FRJ.
Berryb, could the tang possibly say THE EAGLE CUTLERY?

[Berryb]

Nope, it's Magnetic. At first I thought it was majestic but it's magnetic. Mine has 4 grooves in the bolsters not 3 like yours. And it has some jimping, I think the term is, around the pearl, but otherwise it's the spittin'image. Yours looks to be in better shape though.

Thank you! It's not that I doubt you, I just don't see Magnetic in what's left of the tang stamp.
Is yours any clearer? Can you post a pic so I can see it and compare? Thanks again.

[Berryb]

here are some photos of mine. I had to look at both tang stamps to decipher it. 'lotta off road miles on this one.
