Re: Small Rodgers Jack
John - That is one gem of a small jack ... Just nice all around and I just like those small ones.. I'm sure you may have looked it up already but I was curious about the pick and shovel stamp - I found it under a R Rodgers & Son (ca 1893) - very cool

Re: Small Rodgers Jack
Thank you Lyle, Joe and Lee. Lee, thanks for the information, I had found some on it but there is not a lot, apparently in business from the 1850's to 1905. Joseph Rodgers&Sons acquired the mark in 1905 but apparently did not make knives with the mark.
