How can I resist? James Cooper got the patent in 1905, and assigned it directly to Robeson, probably for a few bucks. I used a Robeson HJ as the model for my first HJ revival model. The Robeson pic is from ebay, but I bought the knife. With it is a pic of my first HJ contract knife, from Queen.

P.S. I have printouts of both patents, but I always appreciate you making sure, David; Thanks!!
The Carman punch was patented by one of Napanochs owners, in 1908. Winchester used it for a while when they bought Napanoch out, ca.1919!
I'll post pics tonight.

Hey Upnorth,
I'm assuming that the S&M harness jack is still sold and was wondering what price one should expect to pay for one??

As promised a couple of posts up, here are pics of two Win HJs, with the Carman punch of 1908. These were probably made in the early 1920s.

Thanks Charlie for the tutorial on the Carman Punch. I never knew of that one. I'm sure it would have been mighty handy in the tack and saddle days.
It really shows how inventive Americans were back then with very little machinery.
