I like to play the Ponies and their clones.

I agree wholeheartedly. The one with brass bolsters is particularly good-looking.

Posted the Top 2 Ponies earlier, here’s the latest 3 .
Brass Bolstered one came from Clueless Nick, who’s really not Clueless!!
The Ulster from Roland
And Craftsman from the bay.
The Craftsman ,Brass Camillus ,and Ulster have nail notch in the liner/ handle that didn’t notice before,for the Secondary blade . The other 2 don’t.
Excellent group of Pony Jacks JP. Congrats on those. Does the Black delrin handles with the brass bolsters have a 21 pattern number? I remember a 21 with black handles and nickel silver bolsters, but not sure when they did the brass bolsters. The Shield on the Craftsman 9507 was used from around 1964 until around 1970. Before then it didn't have the Crown around the word Craftsman, according to what I've been able to see in the Sears Catalogs.

The brass pony does not have model 21 stamped anywhere. Thanks for dates on the Craftsman ,thought it was late 60s
Take care

I added these two with my Pony Jack Family today. A couple that I got from Roland aka: Kootenay Joe. A Schrade Old Timer 72OT 2-7/8 two blade Dog Leg Jack. From what I've researched the 72OT with this tang stamp was produced from 1986 until around 1992 around the time the Schrade+ tang stamp came out. Total years for the 72OT pattern was 1986 until 1997. The next knife is the Schrade Old Timer 12OT single blade PAL. Both knives have great snap on the blades, no wobble, with a lot of the original finish. Both do have some small scratches but hardly any wear. Both great additions to my Pony Jack Family.

I added another Camillus 21 Pony Jack to the corral. It has the long line Camillus tang stamp on the front side of the clip blade, with 21 on the pile side and a pen secondary blade. It has the brown jigged( what Camillus called "Brownstag") handles, and was not produced with a shield. Blades are tight, great snap, no wobble, have the factory luster, but does have some spotting. Inside of blade well and springs are clean. The only thing I've done is oil the joints. I Here are the photos.

That's a good'un Smitty. I especially like the threaded bolsters. I'm kind of envious.
