I believe so and there have been a few similar items on ebay asking like $300... I don't think they sold at that price but...

The bottom tool should fit in a bench plate. I thought the top tool was supposed to be struck, but at least one of them here is pointed, so I guess you'd strike the arm. Check where the wear is an any mushrooming. Think of them as a set hammer and bottom tool pair for sheet metal. The hinge keeps them aligned, but limits the depth that will fit inside.

I checked them yesterday and none were mushroomed. Actually, two looked to be reversible. IIRC, they fit 1 7/8" hardy hole. All have a design on each face and 2 adjust up or down into different designs. Interesting! Thanks! |

They seem like they are not struck, just hinged up with a hand and slammed down. They are flippable at the hinge also to use both sides.
