I picked up this vintage Craftsman No. R 5524 Solid Stock Pipe Dies in the original box. It's for 1/2 & 3/4.  I thought it was too cool too leave at an estate sale.

Hello, ken. Looks pretty clean, nice find!!!! Regards, Lou

Nice!

Still have may Pawpaws Rigid pipe threaders 1/8" thru 1" with handle.  They are as old as me.

The sewer here is very skilled.

A spammer git in ! I am deleting him now.

 thanks Papaw.

Very nice.  I imagine the tricky part of using that design was getting the cutting die aligned with the guide collar.  Well, that and using it if you had to cut threads on a piece of installed pipe or in other tight spots.
