This last one, the blade has no stamp but the punch is also laminated with it's Patten # stamped in.
I'm thinkin Remington but I'm sure someone else knows for sure!

Same punch as one of my NYK cattle knives. Same pat# as yours

This last one, the blade has no stamp but the punch is also laminated with it's Patten # stamped in.
I'm thinkin Remington but I'm sure someone else knows for sure!

Wow Dave my friend!
Wonderful- absolutely wonderful to see those HJ's, what a treat!!!
Love that early Schatt & Morgan Punch my friend! I have been searching but finding the HJ's incredibly hard to find lately Stunning!.

 

[knowtracks]

Thank You Duncan!
I acquired those HJ's from David Clark this past summer. David had an amazing S&M collection, which is where I acquired most of my collection. David is the foremost expert on Schatt and Morgan/Queen knives around.
He has published and written many articles along with the 2 Schatt and Morgan reproduction catalogues from 1903 and 1908. That he personally tracked down!

Fantastic stuff right there Dave! You have some ( from what I have seen ) some gorgeous and amazing examples.

A 3 1/2" closed New York Knife Co. HJ
My guess is Cocobolo or Rosewood covers.

My friends Dave and a Harry - those 77’s would have to be the most gorgeous HJ’s!

John W. Schatt has credit for inventing that punch!! Nice find, Dave!!
I have looked all my Harness Jack career, and never found one fully intact like that one!!

Here is a link ( I hope it works ) to an article that David Clark wrote about the Schatt punch. In it are pics of both the HJ's I acquired from David and posted here. It also has the patent information......
