I take it this is an awl but all it says is whats on the handle.

Have you seen one like it or know the maker?

Is it hollow? Hole in the tip? It looks like an oiler.

Just unscrewed the tip from the body so thats it.
Thanks for the info..
The hole is clogged up so I guess thats where I
got the notion it was an awl.
So much to learn.

I'm drooling and I don't even collect them. One like it is all I have ever seen and it was in a museum.

Nice little oil can. I collect the small ones, and the medium ones, and have not seen this model. I'd have brought it home for sure.
