Press Button Mechanic Jack small blade wanted + other PB
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2011 10:09 pm
Hello,
I'm trying to locate a very rare small blade or punch or any of the small blade combinations used on a Press Button "Mechanic Jack" . This is the 3 3/4" model or in Mark Ericksons book it is the 3 11/16" model . I do not have the 2nd "See This button" catalog to know if its in it with a model number . Most just refer to this as the a "Mechanic Jack" . Mine just happens to be a little more special then the normal jack found which they are very rare them selfs. Mine happen to has safeties which is usually only found on only a handful of 3 3/8" Press Button doubles . There may be one other known example in this size with safeties but most collectors have never seen or heard any. The blades do not differ on mine with the safety compared to examples that do not.Still it must be for a Mechanic Jack as a 3 3/8" will not work. I preferr a punch blade that is full but I'm not going to be picky if any blade comes along that will be wonderful. I really hope to one day ad a correct blade back to this example. Someone with lack of experience welded a incorrect punch blade to the tang and did more harm then good. Any help I will sure make it worth ones while.I hope one day to be able to display this knife with both blades open in my display. All the mechanics work on it but the other side has 1-2 cracks and a very small chip missing right at the safety .If a blade is never found I'm still very grateful to have found this rare example as they all can't be perfect.
I'm also looking for other Press Button Knives if anyone has any to part with. Also any ads,boxes or or any other related ephemera. I also buy a few other Vintage autos if anyone wants to let me know what they might have. These are now my main knife collection in life as there are enough rare models to never find them all in a lifetime.Some models they made no one owns examples of . I have only began my collection recently so I have very few examples (for now) so chances are I would be interested in any knife offered if its decent .I might also buy a few part knives if the price is right. Thank You anyone that took the time to read this. Pleas keep me in mind on PBs.
Feel free to contact me at my email or shoot me a PM
Thanks,
Wayne
