    I found this in a box in my Grandpa's workshop. The handles are wooden. The body is steel. When the handle turned clockwise, the spindle turns clockwise one full revolution, and then counterclockwise 3/4 revolution, and then back to clockwise, etc. There are no manufacture marks or serial numbers.

    I have no idea what this is for. Any information would be appreciated

      This is a tool to lap valves in an auto engine . It is missing a fitting from the shaft end to adapt to the valve .

      slackjack- Don't you wish you had a dollar for everyone of these you've identified? :-)

      Thanks Slapjack. There used to be a rubber cupped piece on the end that fell off during ine of the moves. It makes sense now.
