Title: 2 whats its
Post by: chips on August 31, 2016, 06:10:54 PM
Top one I have no clue.  The top knurled pieces spin the shaft that is held by the three legs and the top knurled piece unscrews presenting a drill bit.  Bottom is a tiny punch, but for what I don't know.

I believe the top one is a tobacco pipe reamer/cleaner.

You're definitely right! After a quick ebay search it looks like a Kleen Reem pipe cleaner.  Thanks for the help.

I have a very similar punch, same design, same japanned finish,
but about half that size. Never knew what that was for either,
but it works well!

For use on pocket size trains, or by pocket size train conductors?   :grin:
