October 12, 20178 yr Either a tool or gauge? Given to me by a non-black smithing friend who found it at a fleamarket. The name looks like Penberthy. Opposite side or marked 1, 3/4, 1/2. It is 2" long and actual measurements of the sizes are 11/16", 1/2", 3/8". "Looks" like it is cast iron.

Ill try there Farmall. I had no luck with Penberthy gauge or similar searches.
October 13, 20178 yr I just ran across this info. This is the tool to install the "tail pipe" (so called) of a Penberthy Injector. Actually there are three tail pipes used on the injector: one for the steam, one for the water, and one for the combined boiler feed. Injectors come in graduated sizes hence the graduated squares. http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/antique-machinery-and-history/help-identify-device-marked-penberthy-172972/
