Does Anyone Have Any Info On Rbs Tools

Recommended Posts

Over the past few years I occasionally pick up estate lots of tools to fill in my collection. Normally I might see 1 or 2 RBS tools in a collection of 100 or more. Recently I came across 36 RBS tools and have been very impressed on how well the impressions come out. I'm just curious if anyone has any information on the company??

RBS was the name of the line of tools Stohlman was involved with prior to Craftool. In fact, the same factory making the early Craftool stamps were making the RBS stamps, too.

WyomingSlick is the man that has the most data on the topic. I did some searching and this is what I found...

And one more that isn't directly from WyomingSlick, but it's about half way down the page.

I hope this answers your questions.
