Fixed it for ya. I could be off a year or so on the age, but not by much.

I used to cut those metal toothpaste tubes up and roll them up for fishing weights.

that would make me look away from tobacco or food products.

(2) below the grooved disc/wheel ? looks like an anvil that is adjustable up & down by way of loosening the 2 square headed screws
below the anvil.

(3) when you pull the lever, does the cogs make the disc/wheel slide back & forth ??

mounted on a board, it could be a once in a while needed tool ??? 1 hole in the board could be to hang it on the wall near a bench.

used like for perhaps straightening something like copper tubing ?

not being able to touch this tool, this is just my off the wall observations.

Post by: Lewill2 on January 10, 2016, 01:03:19 PM: If you click on the picture it takes you to Skip's Flickr page. You can see additional pictures there. I can't tell from the pictures if you can place a sheet under the wheel and it will fit under the rack gear that the handle engages. I'm thinking a sheet metal shear for slitting a sheet or strip for fabrication. I don't understand what the hex head fasteners are for out board of the square head set screws that lock the anvil in position.

Post by: turnnut on January 10, 2016, 02:32:10 PM: my thought on the hex head bolts was to raise or lower the ? avil/plate ??? for different size ?? whatever is being drven thru ???

Post by: oldgoaly on January 10, 2016, 04:43:43 PM: not a cutting tool (worth a damn) would only would cut the width of the casting cause of the gear.
some type on straight 4" long thing-a-bob tool I've looked thru Pexto & Niagara s/m tools, not there.
