During that Road Trip, yesterday....picked these 3 items ($12 +Tax)...
471649
Got these home, and began to get a better look at each one..
471650
Top of the spring down to the sharp points,,just over 3" long...Logo says J. Stevens A&T Co. of Chicopee, MASS.
471651
Someone long ago made a copper or brass handle for the top of the spring. Mister Stevens was bought out by Savage Arms Co. about 1897-ish....hmmm
Next..
471652
5" long, no handle on top. Logo says GENERAL USA.....has a weird point..
471653
More of a blade than a pointy thing...knurled keeper. Maybe extend the blade as a scribe follower? Blade follows the edge, while the point makes it's mark?
Lastly...
471654
Not sure if that is brass/gold paint, or just brass plated....Steel parts are black. Has some fancy joinery going on...
471655
There are steel pins in where the spring sits. Joint looks the same on both sides. The steel point sits in a groove, so one could replace with a new point. Adjuster wheel is 2 parts, steel wheel with a brass cone. Have not found any logo on this one.
These might come in handy, sometime...( still have to rehab the Stanley No. 8c I also picked, yesterday...)
Stay tuned...:D
