I ended a dry spell today, found these two and had to bring them home... :)...the cigar jack is 4 1/4" with a Sword Brand etch on the master, great snap and a hand full for sure.

The little fella is 3 1/4" and is Sword Brand stamped. Blades are real shinny so I'm thinking the Krome Plate shield mite have something to do with that.

Trying to figure a time frame on these, the cigar has steel bolsters so maybe a pre or post WW2 and the Krome Plate in the 1950's.....do you all think this is close ?

dogg, those 14's are really addictive. I've only come across three variations so far.

1.) Bone
2.) What I call "rough brown" ('50s & '60s) Camillus called it Brownstag.
3.) Camillus Indian Stag

I have yet to see one in the standard Camillus Rogers Bone Delrin.

Anyone else have one of these 3" Dogleg Jacks?

Stockman--made for Sears, three line tang stamp "CRAFTSMAN U.S.A 95235" . Wood handles, supposedly maple. What's odd is, it appears to have stainless blades and carbon backsprings.
