This morning I added this, "THE W & H CO - USA - NEWARK NJ", single blade, 2 7/32" closed, all metal fob/key ring pocket knife to my collection. This is the fourth fob/key ring pocket knife advertising this particular company, "ABSORENE MFG CO.", and the third of this particular pattern or style that I've obtained. The other three "ABSORENE" fob/key ring pocket knives have been previously posted under this topic/thread. It needed a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

This afternoon I added this, "THE W & H CO - USA - NEWARK NJ", single blade, 2 1/2" closed (NOT including the loop/ring), all metal, fob/key ring pocket knife to my collection. This is the second fob/key ring pocket knife advertising this particular company, "BROWNING KING & Co.", that I've obtained. The other "BROWNING KING & Co." fob/key ring pocket knife has been previously posted under this topic/thread. It didn't need to be cleaned. I took some pictures and here it is.

Great find Skip. I bet that is one you don't see often. I knew of latch needles, I had an Aunt that worked at a textile mill that had the knitting machines.

Re: THE W & H CO + USA + NEWARK NJ = Whitehead & Hoag.
I am posting the following for posterity and for future reference. The tracking said that this pocket knife was delivered
to my P.O. Box on Tuesday, July 6th. It may have been delivered to a P.O. Box, but it wasn't delivered to mine. I was
really looking forward to getting this one, as the blade just doesn't look quite right to me (just going by the pictures).
Also, I can not detect any evidence of a tang stamp and the pivot pin doesn't look quite right as well (too big).
I was hoping that this example might have been a missing link to one of the manufacturers of these types of pocket knives. So, in case it never gets delivered to me, I am posting the only two pictures of it that are available.
These are the seller's unedited pictures.

O.K......I'm gonna be that guy that asks a stupid question! Have you shown the tracking sheet, along with your copy from your sales to the Post Office to see if they may remember the box or item being placed in a different box at your Post Office??? This happened to me many years ago when I had a P.O. Box in a neighboring town. I brought it to their attention the same day I went to pick it up. They found it in a P.O. Box that was above mine, and whoever had that box had not checked their mail yet. The postal worker had misplaced it. Hopefully if the person at your P.O. had gotten the box, they would be honest enough to turn it in to the postal worker. Hope it works out!!

Thank you Smitty.
I gave the post office all the information.
They said they searched the P.O. Boxes that surround mine and found nothing.
If someone else did inadvertently obtain the knife, I also hope that it is returned to me.
We'll see.....

Re: THE W & H CO + USA + NEWARK NJ = Whitehead & Hoag.
.....and the quest continues. This arrived today and became my most recent addition to this topic/thread and to my collection. I did purchase another one of these this morning. It "should" arrive sometime next week. Pictured below is a ROBESON - ShurEdge - U.S.A., 2 blade, 1 tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, all metal pocket knife. Both sides of the handle have advertising for "THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY - HARTFORD, CONN. -- TICKET DEPARTMENT." This is the fourth pocket knife of this particular style/pattern that I've obtained. But it is the first pocket knife of this particular style/pattern with a ROBESON tang stamp. The tang stamp is the "block style." So, besides manufacturing one of the other styles/patterns of pocket knives for "W & H", ROBESON can also now be connected to the manufacturing of this style/pattern of pocket knife for Whitehead & Hoag. It did not need any cleaning. I couldn't quite capture the true color of the handles. They are a bright "silver" in color. The last picture is of the ROBESON tang stamp that is on the other style/pattern "W & H" pocket knife. The investigation continues.....

Here is the link to the other "W & H" pocket knife style/pattern that ROBESON is associated with.

Here is the link to see the other three pocket knives (different tang stamps) that are of this style/pattern.

Re: THE W & H CO + USA + NEWARK NJ = Whitehead & Hoag.
This morning, this pocket knife arrived and it became the most recent addition to this topic/thread and to my collection. Pictured below is another ROBESON - ShurEdge - U.S.A., 2 blades, 1 tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, all metal pocket knife. Both sides of the handle have advertising for "THE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY - HARTFORD, CONN. -- TICKET DEPARTMENT." This is the fifth pocket knife of this style/pattern that I've obtained and it is the second one with a ROBESON tang stamp. The tang stamp is the "block style." So again, ROBESON can be linked to the manufacturing of two different styles/patterns of advertising fob/key ring pocket knives for Whitehead & Hoag. See my previous post, it is directly above and directly related to this post. The tangs needed a good cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is of the ROBESON tang stamp that is on the other style/pattern "W & H" pocket knife. The investigation goes on.....
