Very rusty, and the blades badly corroded, this old cutter was made to fit into a Carpenter's Brace. It is stamped, as best I can read, " ....LECKMAN". Threads on the thumbscrews are 1/4" x 26 BSF or BSB, which might suggest that it's of British origin. Thought I could chuck it in the...

Found these today at the local Trash and Treasure market, in a rusty, good condition but cleaned up nicely. Don't know if they're British or American, stamped ' A B S.G. Barnsley ' as best I can read it. A good size, bigger and more solid than the current flimsy ones. * Also there's a...

Found this old plug tap years ago, never had to use it. The thread gauge says it's 27 Threads per inch. The major diameter is 0.405 inches (10.29 m/m) approx. I figure it's a 1/8 x 27 NPT, National Pipe Thread, American standard. It has the square tapered end, to go into a Carpenter's...

I found this rusty old Double-Ended ring spanner at a flea market recently for AU$2. One side is stamped 'CHROMEMOLYBENUM MADE IN U.S.A.' The other side '25/32 VLCHEK WBA 2425 3/4'. I'm guessing that this one goes way back to the 1940's, and is AF size, SAE, of course. Wonder what...

Found this scraper recently, it has no stampings or markings. Opens to three positions with a locking catch. It takes the standard GEM safety razor blade. The clamp plate has long been installed upside down, as evidenced by the rust. The threads in both the thumbscrew and the body are partly...

Here's an old hook spanner that I've cleaned up. Can't find any info on the maker HWW & Co Ltd. Anyone know anything about this make ? It's marked 1 3/4, 1 7/8, 2. Flipside has the number 3903. Could be British ? I've probably used it on the lock ring of the bottom bracket of bicycles...
