Daswulf Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) ok so i've had some interesting ideas on another forum that's gone now but what is this? best idea someone posted was that it may be a gauge to check RR track as it's being made for uniformity. it has a wedge pin that can be loosened and tightened to "set" the pins where you want em. it's Heavy steel/iron. and it was too interesting to pass up at an auction i was at. i dont remember purchase price. i like it, who cares Any idea?

Frosty Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Profile gauge. http://www.eastwood.com/15in-adjustable-profile-gauge.htmlIt is one mean mother hummer of a profile gauge though. And do not let the confidence with which I say that fool you, I could be wrong. Frosty The Lucky.

And when ya don't know what something is, the picture is kind of important.JHCC, it would be one wicked and heavy back scratcher. Might scratch your back off.

Daswulf Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 It's one heavy beast of a tool. I wouldn't want to swing that at stone too long. Well now it's a back scratcher. I should have used the term Crandall in my post as it's a lovely word---"Git off my yard yew young whippersnappers afore I takes a crandall to yer!"The Crandall cranium tamper.
