Robeson 4” Button Hole Scissors

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.

Robeson 4” Button Hole Scissors

Post by RobesonsRme.com »

Picked up this little pair of mint Robeson scissors in its original paper sleeve.

Given the graphic on the sleeve, I think they are from the 20’s or 30’s.

It’s amazing to me that the two have remained together all this time.

That is an amazing pair of unmolested scissors and wrapper.

A very unusual find. Congratulations Charlie!

That is quite a little treasure. Just finding the scissors in that condition would be surprising. I agree that getting the paper sleeve with them is amazing.

Great find, Charlie!
That is amazing! I can hardly open a new Case knife without destroying the wrapper after a look or two. Any type of cutlery that old is always interesting to me even if I don't understand how they do their work. ::shrug::

Very cool item Charlie!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
