N8O

No shelf queen here. It'll be put to use when I get in a bigger shop!

thanks

Okay did a quick Google search and I actually found some place that says the ship maul is used for plugging holes?! Anyways thanks for the information I didn't even know what the tool was called.

Thanks Thomas Powers I bought it at an auction about a month-and-a-half ago. It was in a lot of tools. Well we have strip mines in Ohio, big shipping on Lake Erie and boiler makers around here. If that's the case what would be the purpose of the faceted sides?

Thank you!

Hello, can anyone tell me what this tool was used for? I think it might be farrier related but I'm not sure. Thanks everybody!

Hello, can anybody tell me what this tool was used for? I can barely make out an atha stamp on it. Thank you!

Ah man I was hoping nobody would ask me what I paid. Let me just say this, a friend of mine who I bought it from let me spend 3 days using his lathe and bridgeport style mill to make some stuff for free. When he asked me if I was interested in buying it I didn't argue with his price. He lets me come and use his equipment if I have something to make that I can't do in my tiny shop. Most of the time it only costs me a lunch.☺ I thought it would be a cool tool to add to the Arsenal!

Just bought this parker. I don't know anything about these. Original color? Any way to date? I have the original jaw inserts( they look absolutely brand new) but not the pipe inserts. Weighs 175.5 lbs. Sitting on a 420lb. anvil and it makes the anvil look kinda small to me. Might have to get a bigger anvil! No slop, jaws align. Enjoy!
