Fancy bevel gauge

[Clint Jones]

There was a great estate sale this week with some tools. Once the doors opened it was a madhouse of grabbing and sorting. On my third trip in I saw this bevel gauge on the front table and was surprised it was still there. It is brass or bronze and has a level on the side. After some research I found out it was a LD Howard patent bevel gauge which I believe is fairly scarce. Left the tag on it for giggles http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowsmilewinkgrin.gif
