I got this Miller Brothers 3 inch bare head jack from Thomasg in the latest POS exchange. With steel bolsters, liners, and pins it was real rusty inside and the handle material needed replacing. The pile side had a wood scale that looked like beechwood, and the mark side inexplicably had been replaced with a piece of rubber. I went with rosewood for the new scales.

Here's a nice little Miller Brothers watch fob pen knife with some fine engraving on the mark side of the handle. I wonder if it's a shell knife with the brass covers added by a jeweler. It's seen a bit of wear and use through the years, but still has plenty of life left to it.

Found another Miller Brothers sheepsfoot jack the other day. Really nice jigged bone and full blades. Have the same knife with pick bone. The pick bone has an arched Miller Brothers tang stamp and the newest find has a straight line.

Didn't know MB ever made one of those. Does the blade lock in the open position?

You better put that remote somewhere that your Wife can find it, she'll be wanting to watch some Christmas movies later.

It's got screws in it, It's a Miller Bros. :)

Neat little knife you have there, Roger. ::tu::
They must be kind of scarce.
