The Hubert Fischer Brewery Knife

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.

The Hubert Fischer Brewery Knife

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

Saw this on Ebay today.

What a simple, but innovative little all metal knife from Robeson.

No idea who designed it or if it was unique to Robeson, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was theirs alone. They were known for such.

The back of the folded master blade acts as the "lifter' portion of a cap-lifter.

3 1/2" long closed.

Circa 1911 - 1921.

So cool.

I would love to own that knife, but the auction starts at $250.00.

Quote from a Breweriana Website:

“ Hubert Fischer Brewery opened in 1886 and closed in 1920 it was open for 34 years. Items from breweries of this age tend to be more common and less valuable than some breweries. Early items can still be valuable as can rarer types of items. As a Pre-Prohibition Brewery, any advertising items or collectibles are likely to be valuable and desirable to collectors as they tend to be hard to find. Hubert Fischer Brewery was in an active brewing city. Hartford, CT was listed as having 9 breweries, which is quite a few. Sometimes a large number of breweries can lead to an active collecting community that will be willing to pay more for breweriana items than other collectors.”

Charlie I spotted that knife yesterday as well. Thought it was the coolest thing I've seen in quite some time. Even saved the pics in case I ever have a mind to copy it. It's an incredibly unique opener for sure.
