Just want to say thanks to Primble for starting this thread and thanks to all the contributors. This has been an education... and for free! There are so many of these knives I've never seen before. It's great to be able to see them in something other than an old catalog reprint. It helps us to know "what right looks like" when it comes to these knives. Again, thanks for this wonderful resource!
And keep 'em coming!

Charlie - this seems to go with your knife and the era of NYKC :
Mr. Joseph McKeehan Tull, born in 1878 in Philadelphia, was raised along with a sister and three brothers in western North Carolina.
His father, a pharmacist, brought his family to Morganton in 1880 to establish the area's only drug store. Upon completion of grammar school, since there was at the time no local high school, J.M. Tull attended North Carolina State College in Raleigh. After a year and a half of school, he left the world of formal education to embark on a career in business. An opportunity to work for the General Fire Extinguisher Company eventually brought J.M. Tull to the City of Atlanta. The year was 1907. By 1914, he had opened his own business, the Southern Rubber and Supply Company, which was the precursor to the J.M. Tull Metal and Supply Company. Over the years, the company expanded and became a leader throughout the southeast.
Mr. Tull was a salesman of great skill and persuasion, as well as a man of great personal charm. When attending to business, he exhibited boundless energy and always believed that most anyone could easily do twenty-five percent more work in any given time. He was well known for his generosity, as well as his level-headed business philosophy. Many companies in the South that struggled to survive the Depression years owed their continued existence to Mr. Tull. Understanding that a company that goes out of business is a lost customer, he willingly extended unusual credit in hardship cases.
Not only was J. M. Tull a successful businessman, he was a civic leader and an active supporter of many of Atlanta's premier non-profit institutions. In 1952, he established the J.M. Tull Foundation as the charitable giving arm of the Tull Metal Company. He and the company held firm beliefs that each citizen should feel a duty to financially support charitable and civic endeavors.
J.M. Tull died in November 1962, leaving his personal assets to the Foundation. Under the leadership of Mr. Tull's successor CEO's at the Tull Metal Company, the assets of the foundation continued to grow in value. These successor CEO's also served as Trustees of the Foundation, each one following along as Chair of the Foundation: J. Pollard Turman, George E. Smith and Walter J. Thomas.
When the Tull Metal Company was sold in 1985, the formal relationship between the company and the Foundation ended. Mr. Turman, Mr. Smith and Mr. Thomas, however, continued their leadership of the Foundation for the next thirteen years. Upon Mr. Thomas' retirement from the Foundation in 1998, the Foundation's final tie to the Tull Metal Company came to an end. The Tull Charitable Foundation is now governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees that is comprised of respected leaders from the Atlanta community. These Trustees continue the commitment to community service that was so highly valued by Mr. Tull, Mr. Turman, Mr. Smith and Mr. Thomas.
Also:
The J.M. Tull School of Accounting is a department within the Terry College of Business at University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.
The School was founded in 1977 and was one of the first five schools of accounting in the United States. In 1982, the school was named after Georgia businessman J.M Tull. In 2005, graduates from the School of Accounting ranked 4th in the nation in terms of first time pass rates for all sections of the CPA exam.
Fantastic knives in fantastic condition, BTW.

For your ogling pleasure, an Electric (NYK) Harness Jack, and a New York Knife LB English Jack which is near mint
Beautiful knives Charlie! I really like the Harrison punch on the old HJ's. I have not used them to punch a hole in leather yet, but they are great for chamfering round plastic tubing on my Automation Assembly machines at my work. Who would have thought something designed in 1902 could be used in Automated Manufacturing in 2015? Crazy.
Your HJ is an Eagle Philadelphia made by NYKC.
Here is a bare end 2 blade jack that I have with the same tang stamp
