Sam Falzone Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Looks like a tin knockers tool, or sheet metal tool. Ya but it looks like they completely mushroomed and deformed the one end. Weird looking tool though - can't tell where it would mount to a bench or anvil. The section that looks like a foot does have a slight flange around it but it doesn't look like enough to keep it stable if you're pounding on it. Truth be told .. I got nuthin' Anyone else?

Francis Trez Cole Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 maybe some one used it as a hammer when it would fit into a bench holder of some sort on the short mushroomed end. the longer end who know what it was suppose to look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Looks sort of like a body dolly to me but I don't know, I've never seen it's like. Frosty the Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Thompson Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I like the way that 'not 100% certain' can mean 'not a clue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 To me it's patently clear that what you see before you is a thingimabob number 5, I'm surprized at your obvious 'lack of knowledge and/or apreciaton' In my army days the instructors would have responded "Dumb Question Sit!" so it's possibly a DQS5? My goodness Sam, where do you find these things? Please do'nt stop looking--I find this sort of tool facinating, in truth it looks like it might be some sort of shoemakers tool that has been abused at some point?

chyancarrek Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I like the way that 'not 100% certain' can mean 'not a clue! Or that even though they don't have a clue what it is, they sure do know that it's VERY RARE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainely,Bob Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 If you carry it across the shop and put it to work then it`s "exactly the right tool for the job". If you throw it back in the drawer/box/bucket/truck then it`s more useless junk. With the properly applied modification techniques I find most anything from the second category can be magically transformed into something from the first. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Thompson Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 I think it's the legendary wimwam from a mustard mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
