    Here's a few more of my old specialty organ tools. These are three sizes of conical mandrels, made of lathe turned solid hardwood. (one is maple, one oak, and the largest might be poplar?) These are used both in a pipeshop when crafting conical portions of new organ pipes, and can also find as much or more usage re-shaping or repairing damaged existing pipes -- as such, I do use these myself sometimes. Like the flatting mandrels just shown, they are things nearly always originally handmade in an organ shop then passed on to further generations in some fashion, the pics show they all have obvious scratches and marks earned from their past usage. Unlike the flatting mandrels these are often handheld for use. They came to me from the same storage locker buy where I acquired the flatting mandrels (and lots of my 'organ brass' tools as well) so I don't know their exact age or origin for certain.
