OK, peoples, it looks like you're stumped. My Info says that it is an antique hand wire drawing tool, possibly for jewelery. http://www.oldtoolphotos.com/toolphoto.asp?photo=375 I'll try for another pic later today. Happy Crunching, Graham |

OK, peoples, it looks like you're stumped. Actually I'm sure that this tool had already been used in 1 of these threads before, but I didn't want to spoil it for yous and I've been far too busy to see what thread it was in. :-) Cheers. |
