About the Maker

C. Roby & Co.

While still a young man of 39, Roby bought out Sawyer in 1853 and changed the name of the firm to C. Roby & Co. Roby scythes and machetes were in particular demand in the southern and border states, but by 1861 the embargo on trade with secessionist states caused a marked decline in sales.
