Got this off the bay last week. Really neat old knife EXCEPT that some HAMMERHEAD put it on a belt and raped it.

Re: ROBERTS BROTHERS MFTG Co
Just speculation on my part but I think it may have been made by one of the cutlery companies in New England.The match striker nail mark is near identical to knives I have by American Knife Co,American Shear&Knife Co.,and H&B;all Connecticut companies.
Further the type face and style of stamp all seem to point to late 1800's production.Again JMHO
