    Take a look at this:

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....fvi%3D1&_rdc=1


    The case suggests it is intended to be carried around maybe but for what purpose??

    Looks like an adjustable reamer, perhaps for barrel bungs. But Google [bryco reamer] finds one, apparently for smoking pipe bowls: http://www.smokeshack.com/pipecleane...cessories.aspx

    Did you notice someone paid $20+ for it, you can buy a new one cheaper, it has no real antique value.

    I think I have worked out the secret of getting big prices on Ebay and it is to use the word "blacksmith" in your description of the article you are selling. Then all you have to do is sit back and watch the price go into orbit.

    So if this was a "ex-blacksmith's" pipe reamer, it would have sold for $120.
