    Need help identifying these pins.
    Thin steel rods and polished triangle steel bars with a brass tab with stamped codes.
    Each ROD item has a different codes e.g. 11T 0513; 6 WHIT 2635; 8T 07042; 10 WHIT 197; ETC
    Each TRIANGLE item has different codes e.g. 28-46 2620; 14-26 T 199; 28-46 T2619; ETC
    Maybe engineering tools/gauges cos came from an estate of someone who used metal lathes/milling machines.

      These may be service keys for elevator/lift maintenance people.

      Blunderbuss2 ... don't think this that is right as there is no handle to turn the key, and what would the rods be used for?

    3. MISSIONDAD, 5 years ago
      Looking at some of the codes, they seem to be thread sizes (WHIT = Whitworth). Maybe for checking threads after using a tap or die?

      Missiondad, I don't know ! I know several guys who work on elevators who have triangular rods that hang on their belts. I asked & was told that they were keys that fit in the panels of elevators to let them control it for testing & service. This isn't a bet, is it ? LOL !!
