The second is a 3 5/8" curved Jack in very good condition with a 2 1/2" Wharncliffe style blade, in good condition with light specked surface, low snap with one chip in the center. The blade is clearly marked "GEO.BUTLER'S TACKLER'S KNIFE" and "SHEFFIELD ENGLAND" and ART inside and oval. The scales are in very good+ condition with only one slight crack near one pin. Nice pair of mid 18th century Jacks.
