I'll be darned if I can find anything about this on the net.
Anyone know about how old it is? Value ??
Hello, Sudsy. Stanley had more than one division, Stanley Tools, Stanley Electric Works, and your label reads Stanley Hardware. From what I have read, Paumelle is French for hinge, or possibly a type of hinge. I am guessing you have a specialized hinge jig, or, hinge template. The photo shows a similar tool still in production. I have also provided the link, in case the photo is not clear.
Regards, Lou

Not sure if it's exactly the same as referenced here:

Hello, p_toad. Thanks for putting up the old catalog, but what am I looking for? I was just trying to get things started with my info!!!!!! Regards, Lou
It's a mortising jig for a Paumelle style hinge. probably 1960's. No idea on value

Yes that is what it is, a router template for doing the mortice for a paumelle hinge (most incredibly expensive hinges you've ever seen !!)
Thank you for the cat. page
