Vintage Pocket Knife Identification

Post by Timber417 »

I’m looking for some help identifying this pocket knife. It looks like the Knife Brand is wore off. The only stamp is either RC600 or R0600. Maybe it’s a Remington, but I can’t figure it out. Thanks

The answer may be the blade etch. I can see it says extra quality. What is in the emblem between the words?

Houston Price lists "R.C.Co." in Rochester, NY which is also the home of Robeson Cutlery so, is it a Robeson product? ::shrug:: Don't recall seeing any like that. No trace of a stamp on the other side? Nice old knife. Good luck.

I believe that etch would be Richards and Conover (Rich-Con) Hardware Co. Not sure who the maker of the knife was though.

I bought some knives from a collectors estate and he had a lot of Robeson pocket knives. So, that may be what it is.
Thanks

I don't believe it to be a Robeson. I never seen a Robeson with that type of number. Though they did use a prefix C on some celluloid.

Levine says they were made "by Ulster Knife Co. branch at Oklahoma City, c.1910".
Those marked, "New West" made by Boker. (ref: Levine's Guide, 3rd. Edit. p 64). O'.
