Robeson Shuredge 42264
Not shure I trhink the handles might be ivory from the grains in them, they didnt show up in pic because its cloudy and raining so I couldnt get a good pic. C

I really don't know the lingo that they used at the time...but I do know what it actually is...Ivory Celluloid.
I only own 2 Robesons...and they're both Scouts.

Two knives that just came in on the ol' conveyor belt of financial irresponsibility.
FRJ kindly let me know if you figure out how to get off that conveyor belt. You have some wonderful knives. That Shapleigh (sp?) at the top is a knockout.

Thank you Quick Steel.
I haven't figured it out yet; my heart condition is even worse. I don't have the heart to turn down some of these old knives.
Did you, by any chance, see the Catt. on the previous page? Thanks again.

No I didn't see that Catt. Just looked at it now. I remind myself of a dog I once knew. As soon as he entered a car, and before the car engine was on, he would begin to drool. Nothing was happening except he looked at the inside of the car. Just that produced maximum slobber. I now have to mop up my desk.
And Gino's great knives are adding to the mess.

Well thanks for your comments guys. I'm glad you like them. They're worn some, but I'm so glad to have them.
I have a weak spot for that old stuff in knives and hand tools in general.

Philip, nice Winchester - I like the bronze series too. What do you know about the Zippo? I have one very much like it that I was gifted with when transferring out of a military unit in 1989. Did Case make them, or did Zippo have their own manufacturing line for knives, or did they sub-contract to another cutlery company (Colonial, Imperial, Camillus, etc.)? Mine came in the same black and white jewelry style box. OH
