Very attractive cabinet philco, and I've sure enjoyed seeing all the other ones from older postings.

Here are a couple of Robeson displays.

The tall tower case is circa 1910.

The blonde case is from the 50's, early 60's.

(Sorry the pic was not taken of the case, per se, but you get the idea.)

That tall case is something Charlie. I wonder if it is the only one out there like that?
Kathy and I stopped at an antique mall near Akron OH Saturday, and there was a Case Hardware display case there. It had $1200 on it, and that was enough to make me not even look closer at it. If anybody is interested, I will give you contact info.

Brett, the National Knife Museum owns an identical case, but it's marked "TERRIER" instead of Robeson, which is why I date this one circa 1910.

Also, I had a 1910 Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett catalog once, that showed the same case with an HSB marking.

Charlie

That is interesting. I have seen Hibbards, that the manufacturer can be guessed based on characteristics. Have you been able to identify Robeson knives made for Hibbard or any other hardwares?

I had a four blade scout/utility that was marked Hibbard, but had the Robeson cap-lifter/can-opener, stubby screw-driver and punch blades, so it was definitely made by Robeson.
I sold it to a scout collector in Georgia.

galvanic1882, it is amazing to see not only your collection of knives, but now to see your collection of cases, amazing! That JBF Champlin Galvanic is really neat to see, can't imagine there are more than just a handful out there in existence.

Charlie, I love the style of that ShureEdge tower case, that is a really a unique piece.
