clark-kentski Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Found in box of junk i bought on ebay. Its not a dogs nail trimmer,nor does it punch a hole,just leaves an impression that looks like kernel or corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rantalin Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 It looks and sounds as though it might be used for making impressions in leather. That's my best guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.S.T. Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Looks to be a saw set to me used to sharpen saws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian C. Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I would be inclined to agree with A.S.T.. But then again I have been mildly confused before. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I think its definitely a saw set ( used to bend the teeth on a hand saw to a predetermined amount ) both right and left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keykeeper Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yep, it's a saw set alright. Always several of them on eBay. I use eBay as a reference a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yes, its a saw set, one of a whole myrad of designs thru the years, this one is for use with a handsaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark-kentski Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Sure enough,its a saw set.I tried it on an old saw.I even get the idea,you do every other tooth the flip it over and do the rest.I really had it stuck in my mind that it was a railroad conductors ticket thingy,because i reckoned by not punching trough you woundt get a build up of confetti on the floor,and because it wuold be hard to copy that pear shaped stamp it puts on paper!any thanks fellas!! smart bunch here.

irnsrgn Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 In fact yours is a Morrill's # 1, in a 1902 catalougue they were listed at $14 a dozen. These are some saw sharpening tools: Left background - A Saw Vice. Left front - A Saw Jointer. Center - A patented saw filing guide. Right background - The type of Saw Set I prefer. Right front - A type of saw set called a Wrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty ripple Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 and of course in the background is a mouse, which may or may not have left droppings on the other side of some kind of a chunk of mystery metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
