nice stuff,what brand are the adj leg dividers....if thats what there're called

Analog

Very Very Nice! I've never seen files like those before.

Analog

Upon closer examination I guess they are not files. Screwdrivers maybe. Any idea as to the timeline and use of these. (other then to tighten and loosen screws)

What is the hinged piece with 3 segments on the righthand side of the first picture?

lptools

Hello, Lewill2 . That is a Mattson Treble Hook Mold!

Hello, Analog. I bought them thinking the same, solid steel screwdrivers. I am still looking for info on them . I know that Crescent & Vlchek made solid steel/iron screwdrivers, but a different profile!

Almost certainly Starrett 85 series dividers, likely the 85A (shorter of the two offerings in this series).

They're completely worthless, and I'll be happy to take them off your hands...no, actually, they command a silly price on eBay.  I've been casually watching for a pair of the 85A dividers for ages, and, on eBay, they shoot past what I'm willing to offer almost immediately.

Silly price, but they are some of the best, maybe THE best, dividers ever.

Hello, Bill. Thanks for the info!!  I will post a pic as soon as I get them cleaned up!

Or I could save you all that trouble cleaning them up...

That divider with the removable tips is a handy tool. I have one like it. You can replace one point with a pencil to use as a compass. I also made an insert holding a razor knife tip to use as a gasket cutting compass.

The small Xacto knife handles should fit right in - the clamps hold 5/16" diameter rods, pencils, etc.
