Robeson PermaLube--oilless bearing

The first Robeson knives were imported by Millard Robeson from England and Germany exclusively. This continued from 1979 until 1896 when Robeson began manufacturing knives in the United States. Since inception, the company has gone through several reorganizations & eventually ended up as a Queen Cutlery brand.

Steve, can you actually see the bronze inserts on the ends of the backspring on that knife.

The shield has the appearance of having been close to outgassing celluloid. I'm not sure it's actually bronze.

The pattern number 676 is consistent with MasterCraft or Perma-Lube patters, though.

Hope I'm wrong.
