Carbon scrapers / Gasket scrapers
Slide the sleeve up or down to control the flex of the fingers...

Cool never seen that style before.

No guys I'm not talking about the picks.

Ha. Okay. My bad. I wouldn't have thought that...

...in that one pic?

...was referring to a post from six years ago, but apparently @Snip's was also playing thread catch up and knew what you meant!

As I alluded to when I identified them in the original post...

Lastly, on the right there, five (5) GMTK spec-correct 10-pin spring steel carbon scrapers. A Proto LA, a Duro-Indestro (literally!), a VIM (!), and two generics.

...they are fairly old (30's and 40's prime production) as a type and one of the funner WWII GMTK tools to collect. Probably obsolete by the late 50's, although I have never researched it. The way it works is the long pins are very flexible and readily conform to the shape of whatever they're scraping (cylinders, manifolds, etc).

Here are a couple of Plomb carbon scrapers. The Federal stock number is 41-S-665.

A few new vintage signs (@jeffmoss26 will like this one) and a few left-behinds/tip-offs to others (either not my style, or won't quite fit in my luggage or carry-on ).

Much nicer than my sign (pic borrowed from
Google)
