Can someone tell me what this is?
« on: September 28, 2013, 06:24:45 PM »
The overall length is 24".  The only marking I can find is the "111" pictured.

Thanks,
Barb

I believe that is a Toledo brand handle. I have one just like it, but photobucket is acting up right now and I can't post a picture.

That's right, Pritch.  I found the dies after I knew what I was looking for and they are marked Toledo.

Thanks so much,
Barb

These come in at least 2 sizes I know of, and maybe 3 sizes.
  I just finished restoring my small set (1/8" to 3/4"), 
and the larger size I found and restored last year  (1/2 to 1 1/2") 
  Both sets Toledos.

 The insert dies themselves are easily replaceable, if you can find them.
   But they are also pretty easy to resharpen.  That was what I did.
 
 I just wonder if there was a third size handle n dies? A big one up to 2" maybe?  Anyone know?
     yours Scott

I finally got photobucket to cooperate. Here's my Toledo's. I haven't had time (made time) to clean them up yet. I picked them up at an estate sale last summer.



I don't know if there is a third, larger size. I think all I have is up to 1.5".
