Identification help required
Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help identifying some old tools I've picked up in a mixed lot (I bought the lot for a 19mm Berg chisel that I needed for my set).
Pic 1 and 2 : Some sort of clamp. Both sides are sprung and are lined with cork (in the 'V' section and immediately above the 'V'). It's about 250mm in length.
Pic 3 and 4 : I'm thinking these are some sort of sheet metal shears ?
Pic 5 and 6 : Some sort of scratch awl ?
I'm a user and not a collector, so it would be great to able to actually use these tools (maybe wishful thinking)
Thanks in anticipation,
Stu

1&2 looks like part of a clamp set up as used in a Mad Scientist's lab for holding glassware (tubes, etc.) in a stand.
2&3 I'd pick as an old-school can opener.
5&6 looks remarkably like oneof my awls after SWMBO has "borrowed" it. (They don't look like that beforehand though.
)

Good thought...it would hold a couple of test tubes on a stand

The thought crossed my mind, but the cutting section is about 75mm(3") long...would be pretty industrial Originally Posted by Skew ChiDAMN!!

yep. I was thinking along the lines of an old restaurant or cafeteria or similar, where the two gallon sized cans weren't unusual. Originally Posted by Thumbthumper
