Re: Farmer's Jacks
Need to add this one to this thread, Schrade Farmers Jack with a blade etch for Bartlett Manufacturing Co which was an arborist supply and manufacturing company in Detroit Mich. The 2 earlier examples I found in this thread have Bartlett tang stamped while this one is tang stamped Schrade Walden with the Bartlett etch.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Fine knife John.I believe Lyle has a Schrade with the same etch.
Has for Lyle I spoke to him a few days ago on the phone and he seems to be well.He has been spending his time with his lady friend.He also said he recently proposed and she accepted!

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Well good for him. Roger, I now remember you telling me about that at Parker's last show. I hope it works out for him. Lyle, if you see this, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Although you do now realize, it will seriously cut into your knife hobby/habit. Remember, an omission about spending money on knives is technically NOT lying.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
That's not the way my other half thinks, after she found out what I had spent over about 18 months mid 13 through 14 and abit into 15 because I got a call about winning an auction and "which card to charge it to as they had a few on file". I still catch double hockey sticks about this and am "grounded from buying any more"thegreedygulo wrote:Well good for him. Roger, I now remember you telling me about that at Parker's last show.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
JohnR -- You are quite Welcome Sir but I should be the one thanking you for buying it. After a couple days,,,I was still missing it,,So I thought I would stroll on over here to AAPK Just to have a peek at some Great Farmers Jacks because I was missing mine...And what do you know,,,It was a breath of Fresh air to see it again!!! I was so happy I just couldnt help myself but to comment. Oh YES, I know what you mean about the "Better Half" too. Whenever I get a glitter or Miniature knife,,,WATCH OUT BUDDY,,,The Wife and Daughter got their hands out, LOL.
Miller Bros -- Thanks Dimitri,,,I very much appreciate the Kind Words Sir. I do believe the Patina makes the knife is especially true on this one. Knife has not been cleaned in Long Long time.
Kind Regards,
Mark

Re: Farmer's Jacks
Mark, that Camillus is still a very nice looking knife.
Picked up this Queen, have been slowly adding these to the collection when I can find them, they really are quite well made.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
One manufacturer I recently acquired:
A small farmers jack at 3 3/4", like my Holley FJ, seems early examples were smaller.
Schatt and Morgan. John , this one might have came from that same building in Titusville as our Queen Titusvilles.

Nice knife Lyle! Ebony has always been one of my favorite handle materials.

Re: Farmer's Jacks
That is one terrific looking knife John. You got one of the best I've seen.
I've only seen about five or six I think, they don't poke their head out often.
Thanks for posting it.
