Unusual Mitre Box
Hi everyone, I came across this mitre box and had to have it. I've looked around on the net and can't find any info. There are no makers marks on it. There may be some pieces missing off it, but I'm not sure. I'm wondering if anyone recognise it or know where I might get some info.

That's the second one I've seen on a forum. The other one couldn't be identified either.

This is one of many such tools, put Paul (pmcgee) on point, he'll find it!

Thanks guys. From what I've seen I think I may have paid too much for it especially without the saw. Although it is sometimes not about the money. Sometimes you just want it. I will contact pmcgee and see what if I can get a bit more info.

Thanks for the info and interest guys. I'm still looking for mor. The link to previous thread posted by TobyC was as much as i've been able to confirm. The Patent refered to in that thread is close. It seems to be a smaller version. There are enough similarities to call it a definite maybe.
pmcgee doesn't have anything yet. Anyhow just thought I'd update.

Thanks, but I can't get to the forum I went to lumberjock.com - lumber jock Resources and Information. and couldn't find miter box as a search using the sites search bar. Any chance you could post the link for me?

I May have found it. Was it Search Results @ LumberJocks.com ~ woodworking community ? That's lumberjocks with an "s". I'm still looking on this sit but nothing yet. Would still appreciate a link to the thread you found.
Thanks, Tim
