    There's a jack that has one too I think. I'd like to know that too. I always just assumed it was an artistic choice. Someone else will venture a guess or tell us I hope. :D

    There are two one-eyed jacks. I've always assumed it was artistic choice too. I don't so much think about them being one-eyed, but simple in profile. Some of those supposedly represent certain figures in history, except that historians seem to think not.
