What is it?

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.

Inside/outside sliding caliper. You will note that their is a place to read the inside and outside (marked "out") of objects. 

Maybe a go / no go gauge for a pattern maker or foundry man?

Pennberthy made steam injectors - google that.  Might be a part of one.

:) caliper was set there for size reference.  Not part of the "thingy". Shoulda mentioned that. Sorry. 

 

Ill try there Farmall. I had no luck with Penberthy gauge or similar searches. 

 

 

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.

Button, sounds and looks like a dead ringer. Thanks for solving the mystery!

I'll take stock in that.
