Nice Southingtons Mark and Joe

.. a big old gunstock jack, English jack and a MOP pen - nice variety !!!
Joe - I haven't looked thru all my Southington knives but my Southington MOP whittler has long pulls through the tang and with the same curved tang stamp, but than again I have long pulls stopping at the tang on a big stabber jack and a swell end smooth bone and a match-striker long pull (not through the tang) with the same curved stamp.. My Southington MOP pen which I will get pics of eventually has long pulls but they stop at the tang and it is the straight-line Southington stamp... I'll have to check my others noting tang stamps - though in the end whether the knife has curved or straight-line stamps is most likely NOT going to lead to dating those knives during Southington's years in the business

... it perhaps was related to the cutler doing the work
