    Pliers; How Many Is Too Many?

    Maybe to reduce slipping back as you pull the material around a frame. It's difficult to envision a use for it.

    Pliers; How Many Is Too Many?

    Slip joint side cutters. Not sure what they would be for. Not really enough leverage on these small pliers to cut larger wires. Marked ??????ILL over Germany. I thought maybe Stahlwille, but I don't see any remnants of the E at the end. The post was punched to prevent the slip joint action...

    Either way it's some nice wood for a plane. I removed poly from a chisel handle and ended up using a card scraper and then sandpaper.

    Rosewood or maybe Lignum? Nice plane. Will you attempt to remove the poly?

    Was Archer Jennings part of CE Jennings? I'm pretty sure they had a drawknife like that. Fulton would be some they made for Sears, I guess.

    It's not threaded. I believe the later models had a screw, but not the early models. The spokeshave book claims they were bevel down, but this one was found bevel up. With the low angle, it seems like it would be better as bevel up.

    J. Y. Simons spokeshave patent date Nov 17, 1868. Gull wing style. Apparently it was marketed for leather and wood working. The blade is held by a wedge.

    I've got one of the None Better 1/4" ratcheting adapters, too. Also, New Britain 3/8" and 3/4" drive versions. I have not seen the 1/4" style in the larger sizes. The larger ones are just like the ratches from the same time period.
