Help: What is this?

[Tymowens]

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.

My grandfather recently gave me a lot of old tools that he hd acquired over his life. There were some pretty interesting things in here (fence pliers, lathing hatchet, frearson screwdrivers, walworth stillson wrenches, etc.).

But here is one thing I have no clue what is or what to even type into google. So I need some help! the handle appears to be a simple Skroozon file handle.


Any help would be appreciated. Like I said I'm clueless as to what this could be.

Nope a soldering iron is correct.

I use them all the time.

Old soldering iron, You would put it in a fire to get hot and run it across your solder to melt it. I've seen a couple of them but don't have one.

I never would have guessed that! Thanks everyone.

actually the hook on the top of the old-school gasoline torches is for those to sit on and heat up. Learnt that right here on GJ!
