Swap meet whats it
« on: August 11, 2014, 11:46:38 AM »
One of my dealer friends at a local antique swap meet showed me this "tool?" this week.  My guess is some sort of jewelers tool, but I am probably way off base.  Any ideas?

Looks like it could be a saw set for circular saw blades, never seen that one tho....

I'm thinking that there should be an electromagnet attached to the bottom side,  and the it is the ringing mechanism for an alarm bell.

I had a similar thought, only a telegraph thing.

I think the saw set is the right path.  The arm across the top is very stiff, so I think that rules out telegraph.  I am not sure how a circular saw blade would go into the thing, but how about for a blade like a band saw blade??

 Guessing the adjustable plate on the left side is a support for whatever you are working on. The bottom of the hammer part looks to be maybe vee shaped. If that is true it would lend itself to saw setting.

The image in the patent application has a lever operated punch, not a hammer action, but the body is pretty much the same..
