Robeson Table Ware
I bought these this past week for $25.00.
Pretty nice.
I’ve seen that etch on a Robeson Razor, but never on a table knife.
Wish there had been a set of eight, but there wasn’t.

Re: Robeson Table Ware
Gunsil, other than WWII issue knives, I’ve never had much to do with Robeson straight knives.
Is there a number on the back side?
Handle is suggesting 1950’s to me.
And the blade is very much like that of a WWII Army issue knife.

Re: Robeson Table Ware
There was a brown jigged bone set on EBay a few months back, but it was missing a fork, so it was six knives and five forks and they still wanted way too much for them.
Would like to have a set like that, though.

Re: Robeson Table Ware
Thanks Charlie, I am pretty sure the big 8" is pre-WW2. Those table knives are in fantastic condition. Do you think they were Robeson made, or contract made for them?.

Re: Robeson Table Ware
No idea.
The forks are not marked, at all and other than that banner etch, the knives aren't either.
I have a white bone handled set that I've had for many years.
The handles are not really as white as that photo suggests. They are a yellow/tan.

Re: Robeson Table Ware
In owning a few knives and forks, I don't see where the forks are stamped at all.
Not necessarily Robeson. Other Makers.

Re: Robeson Table Ware
I agree. I've seen Catt sets and the forks were not marked. Only indication they belonged with the knives were the matching handles or they were all boxed together.
