2 tools that have me stumped /00\

[elkpointtoolco]

is that 2nd tool solid ?  or can you swing it open ?

are the ??? rollers the only brass on this item ???

It's solid and does not swing open.

The rollers and the ferrule on the handle are the only brass.

My thoughts are that it may be:
1. some sort of cradle for holding a thread spool for some sort of loom or spinning wheel (neither of which I know a darn thing about).
2. some sort of knife sharpener that's missing the filing/abrasive part.
3. some kind of saw blade sharpener or part of a larger one.

And also - Hat tips to all for identifying the candy hammer! I would have never guessed that!

I Took the 2nd tool with the wood handle to the MWTCA National Meet in Des Moines yesterday. They were identified as a carpet tack/staple puller.  I still haven't found the patent to match up with it.

Thanks for letting us know. That one really had me scratching my head.
