thesamanthahope Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi! I found a tool (at least I think it's a tool) that looks like this and I've been trying to figure out what it is. A friend told me it might been something used by a blacksmith, so I was wondering if you could help me out? I'm also very curious about the markings. Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

David Einhorn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Looks to me more like a finial than a tool, as it seems more decorative than functional. I don't recognize the language of the lettering. Maybe Klingon? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 It's a Tau Beta Pi key; an engineering honourary society you can see an example on their web pageTau Beta Pi - The Engineering Honor Society as to the language; well it's all greek to me! Not a tool. (My father has one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
