Remington farmers jack

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Youser! That is a beauty!

OK Lyle, I can understand you having all the farmer jacks in the USA because you have bought them all!

But now when you come up with mint knives that are that old, ::hmm:: I am beginning to think you have a time machine and you are going back before WWII and buying up all the farmer jacks in inventory in country hardware stores!
Don't worry your secret is safe with me as long as you promise to take me with you on your next trip. :wink:

Lyle that's a real nice one. I think a farmer's jack has to be one of the prettiest patterns ever made. Simply stunning.

I thought some of the experts here might give some insight to these R4633s.I had posted these before,but I don't think the Remington people commented,or at least I don't remember .

I have these two and will show the pictures of another that sold on eBay and then again on Morphy's auction.All three are alike in the frames ,pruning blade,and stamping.What do y'll think.

Those are really beautiful Lyle. Now am I right in assuming that the primary blades were pruners and that they've been sharpened down into more of a sheepsfoot?

Lyle - that Remington with the French Ivory is a beauty. Hard to believe it has survived so long in such good condition.

Thanks Wade,I believe they all came from the factory like this,but not Remington,PAL? That's why I posted here,thought someone might have something more concrete.To me the creamy colored one looks like some of the bone PAL used??

Thanks Mel,it sure is a trophy.

Have any of these old Remington's been cleaned and that is also the question of clean or not to clean and when or why not

Not the one I posted since Jim Sargent put it's picture in his earlier books, because it has all the same markings it had back then.

None of any I have since I purchased them.

Would love to see pictures of it but not having a pattern number is fairly common on the later 30's knives.
