similar to an old whatsit

[kxxr]

A while back a whatsit was posted (by papaw I think) and I don't remember anyone figuring out what it was. I just wasted a half hour looking for it but couldn't find it to make a comparison to this tool. I wonder if the old one was maybe something like this riveting tool but was missing some part(s). anyone remember that one? Anyway, here's this one.

depending on the mandrells you use it could be be used for riviting leather to grommets in canvas

I don't think I posted it, but can't remember them all. Looks like a plain riveter to me.

If I remember right it was one that someone had sent you a picture of and asked you to identify it. I will find it when I have a little more time.

It's a rivet press. Could be used for leather, or brake pads (back in the day).

Found it. Not even close. I hadn't remembered that it was finally figured out. All I could remember was the big long handle and that is where the similarity ends. Nevermind.
