No marks, what is it?
« on: March 17, 2021, 03:46:27 PM »
Bottom jaw goes through the top jaw, both top and bottom have grooves on one side of jaws and a fairly sharp slanted jaw on the other side.  A well built and not cheap tool.

OK you guys are gonna make me say it first? Nutcracker!  My decision to call it a nutcracker is partly based on me thinking it is not a leatherworking tool.
Thanks for posting and looking forward to the other finds, coolford.

Could be, but I'm thinking the grooves are to hold something while the other side cuts it off.

It looks like a small emasculator to me, but I thought they had smooth jaws.  I am thinking the smaller ones were used on goats and sheep.

I was the designated lamb holder as a kid. The girls & boys got tails removed with this. The boys got additional surgery that involved a sharp knife to expose the things that then got pulled. If you know how dad pulled them, you know why I don't raise sheep.

wvtools---you are so correct on this one, Thanks!  I guess $1.00 was not too much to pay for it.
