bruce johnson Report post Posted October 20, 2013 I have had some with the same marking. The handles are suggestive of a European maker. Ropp might have been the maker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt S Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Ropp might also have been the owner. Many craftsmen used to stamp their tools with their name; they weren't cheap even then! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanda4 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I did find some info about a Jerome W. Ropp from Elyria, Ohio. He had a bunch of patents, including a loop and bar for a harness and a strap fastener, both from the 1880's. Perhaps it's the same person.
