English Jacks, Again!!

[waynorth]

The English Jack thread has so many missing pictures, I thought I'd start a new one!!
I refer back to the old one for intellectual content!!
( English Jack Extravaganza )
Here are a couple of knives that may be described as English Jacks, well over 4" in length!!

Both from Camillus, the upper barehead one has Washington Bolsters, and a curved stamp on the pen blade!! The slightly larger capped knife has Rattail Bolsters, and the "Sword Brand" etch is still visible!! 4 3/8" and 4 5/8" respectively!!

Thank you very much for opening this thread up waynorth Charlie
Back when I opened the tube and took this Northfield 87 out I was just blown away .

I know that the Washington Jack isn't long enough to be considered an English Jack , but the similarities between the 2 are very close . IMHO both knives are very striking in appearance and GEC did an amazing job on both of them .

Wostenholm invented that bolster at the Washington Works, Sheffield, if I'm not mistaken!!
No.6 Washington Street is in Sheffield!!

The Washington Bolster was NOT named after this guy!!!
