What is this tool?

[Mr_fixit]

What is it? It's made by C&D Co. of Conway, Mass.

I want to say some sort of tapered tap. The long one can be used to slide into a pipe and tap the end of it. I don't know, I'm just making **** up.

I'm gonna go with Danarchy on this one. The box it's in screams an old tap. Going by the pics it looks like it cuts pretty thick/rounded threads. Almost like an Acme thread.

is for catching the fish lol, tapered tap for retrieving an internal "fish" in oilpipe, think its a ggz tap? the long shank would be a guide (is some very weird stuff)

Yeah some sort of pipe tap thingy. I have some Taps made by the same company but just standard 4 flute hand taps.

I'm not sure what it is, does resemble a fishing tool except for the square drive. The Conant and Donaldson Manufacturing Company was in Business in Conway 1909-1941

In June, 1949, Sheffield Corporation acquired the old Conant and Donaldson Manufacturing Company in Conway and after more than two years of preparations announced the reopening of this firm under the name of Conway Manufacturing Company. This company handles some of the processes formerly done in Greenfield and its new products include standard adjustable snap gages, adjustable length gages, adjustable inside block gages and gage blanks.

The principal item turned out by Conant and Donaldson was a replaceable and adjustable chaser collet type die. However, this plant which had been formed in Greenfield in 1904 and moved to Conway five years later, saw a decline in business during its later years and when Sheffield took over, more than half the personnel roster was drawing unemployment compensation.
