Dunlo No.2
« on: June 07, 2017, 03:05:49 PM »
Um... yeah, every on-line search just assumes I left the "p" off the end of the word Dunlo and tries to steer me towards anything and everything named Dunlop. 10 inches long, with an interesting hook on the bottom about 3/4 of an inch across. Tack and harness tool? Any ideas?

Hello, My first thought was bearing scraper, but that hook did not work for me. Second guess is some sort of farrier's tool? Here is a little info on Dunlo, Pennsylvania. Regards, Lou



Dunlo is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Adams Township, Cambria County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located between the communities of Beaverdale and Salix, in the valley of Sulphur Creek, a tributary of the Little Conemaugh River. As of the 2010 census, the population was 342 residents, 14 dogs, 33 cats, and 9 goldfish.

It almost looks like it could be used to pack oakum into cast iron soil pipe prior to lead.  Or backer rod prior to caulking control joints in masonry.  Third choice could be a rodder for tuckpointing mortar joints, but the 3/4" width is against that.

Not a brake adjuster?  Maybe the hook is for pulling brake springs - although I'm not sure how that would work.

so could be a misprint? or Dunlop said no?
a quick search of Dunlop tire tool  found these #1 so leads me to think #2 might be the same use

I think you got it. It must be a Dunlop with the "P" missing for some reason. The Dunlop #1 looks waaaayyyy to similar to my #2. I'm convinced it's an early tire tool, THANKS everyone!
