Does the adjustable leg on this have a point or where one could be mounted?
Not obviously.
Thanks for the reply. The mounting point would be obvious for a tip.
Casement window winder?
I can't see the picture close but I think they are antique trammels on a fixed beam.
Those square-cut threads aren't easy to make or cheap, so this was an expensive tool. That requires a lock-in automatic feed lathe.
Thanks for all the responses so far. Don't think it is a window winder as there are no fixing points. The photo is upside down so it's just sitting on the surface. Trying to figure out if something goes through the unusual shaped hole in the swivelling end. Any ideas?
Well Blah, you just killed my next guess as an anti-gravity device.
looks like a plumbers tool for reaming a pipe...just a guess....lol
lol I have an old wooden shoe stretcher with that same handle ...hmmmmmm
Is the top handle made to take off easily?
I posted mine ..........................
yep your missing the wooden parts....
this one ............
Your steel tool with the brass handles and swivel, I have one almost the same, except the steel stem goes through the brass swivel end and touches the back of the pointed end of the swivel. Are you any closer to finding out what the item was originally intended for? My father died in August and I found it amongst his things, I have no idea what it is?
