Found this my wife's grandmother's sewing cabinet. Wondering is it anything special?

John,
Great info as always! Thanks for the description on the tang differences!

Robert-special enough !!- Found 2 other examples of this knife-- One offered for $80, the other for $120 from the estate of Rhett Stidham, who authored a book on knives and was the founder of the Randall Knife Society- He was a well known antique dealer and knife collector,as well. As a bonus, I believe your knife has an unusual variation of the Robeson Shuredge tang stamp-- I am adding a pic of the tang stamp from the Stidham knife-- Shuredge was normally written in a very smooth script style-- This is an unusual variation-- Early 1900's , but hard to get an exact date, because of the rarity of the tang stamp- Anyhow, the nude figure on the obverse also makes it desirable to that category of collectors--Anyhow I am reposting the pic of yours of the obverse side, plus the closeup of what your tang stamp probably looks like-
Just being your grandmother's would make it special to me. I have a little knife shaped like an old fashioned ladies shoe that my grandmother got at the 1904 Worlds Fair in St. Louis. This knife means a lot to me.
