Cool Old Tools
Here is an unusual old tool I picked up. I like the old "Alligator" style wrench knives that Cattaraugus made, so this caught my eye right away when I seen it. I found the patent for it, although my handle is different and I cannot figure out what that large hole and notch is at the end of the handle. The whole thing comes right apart with three screws so you can change the jaw if it gets damaged. I got a kick out of the advertising "Extra Jaw .25". It is in good condition being over 100 years old, don`t think they made these very long
Here is the patent http://www.google.com/patents?id=f_hcAA ... &q&f=false
Anyone else have any cool old tools like this? Let`s see `em

Very Cool Old Tool! Back in the Day, you could buy a metal hand tool for 25 cents. I could have used that tool the other night on a Steak my wife cooked.

Please, bear with me..........
The Taylor clamp;... A guy had five of these. I said how much do you want. $25. I was going to give him a buck and a quart, but he said, Oh no, $25 for all of them. O.K. ......I use these. They are fine.

S.S. Kresge!! Man I've not seen that name since I was a kid in Newport, Ky. There were two Kresge's, on Monmouth St. a block apart and an F.W. Woolworth in the same block. Both were the "five and dimes" at that time. Brings back great memories of a kid with a quarter.

My Mother used to bring my Brothers and Sisters and I to at least one of those two stores once a week when I was a youngster. Kresge's had a cafeteria we would eat in all the time.
Those were the days.

Re: Cool Old Tools
Here is an old Irwin adjustable drill bit for an old hand brace.
It also has an extra larger cutter with it.
I even have the box it came in.
It belonged to my great Uncle Tom.
I suspect it is from the 1920s or 1930s, just based on his age.
Maybe someone else can date it from the box.

Re: Cool Old Tools
Trephine (1800s)
This trephine was a hand-powered drill with a cylindrical blade that was used to bore into the skull. The spike in the center was used to start the procedure and to hold the blade in place while cutting.
