Small jacks & Remington R1

I looking to buy or trade for any small, 3" closed and under, jacks. Would prefer American made but German or Sheffield works too.
Also looking for a Remington R1 jack knife, would prefer if it still has the etch but not a must.
Attached is a picture of a couple that I have.
Thanks Mike

Mike, one blade or two blades (for me, a jack has two blades but you're showing single blade patterns)?

I've never seen a 2 blade under 3" but it will do. Levine calls them Boy's knives but also jacks. Do you have any??

I have some but I'm not willing to let any of them go. Yeah, I know, I'm weird but I know I would regret it. Life's short and I have too many regrets now without making more.
What I have may not even be what you're talking about. Most are two blade except where noted. There's nothing there that's rare or hard to find except maybe for the Camillus Ole Smoky.

Thank, they are nice but not what I'm looking for. Just want little ones shaped like I've shown. Yours are serpentine types, not what I'm looking for. Again thanks though.

No, they lived in Phoenix and considered moving to Payson but moved to Iowa instead.

Phoenix is toooooo hot for me. Payson is at 5,000 ft so it's a bit cooler then the desert. Iowa wow that's not even in the ballpark!

Just a question and excuse my ignorance, but don't a Case tadpole and peanut both qualify as 2 blade jacks under 3" long? That's how they are listed in the catalog. Is there a Case pattern number that does meet the specs you are looking for?

Yes they are considered jacks but not the ones I'm looking for. There are many types of jacks that were made for sure.

Hi Mike
I have this little Challenge knife. Hard to measure exactly, either 3" or 3 1/16"? Clear tang stamps and good snap on both blades, however, significant side to side blade play in the master blade.
