This weekend is the annual Spring Jacktown Engine Show flea market. This is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday but there are vendors that set up early, so I was there. The weather was mild and sunny when I got there but it soon clouded up. There weren't too many folks set up but the few that were there had some goods to offer. Some of the action. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2019/jacktownspring2019d1f1.jpg Pickings were okay. In woodworking tools, I got an 8" Yankee brace, good shape, but the ratchet and chuck need some attention, a set if 6 Irwin bits in the case, a carving tool and a couple of chisels, and a Stanley SW 6" bevel square. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2019/jacktownspring2019d1t1.jpg In the miscellaneous department, I got an herb cutting knife, a Starrett sheet metal thickness gage, a neat machinist protractor, a nice Snell & Atherton leather thickness gage, a big screwplate, a leather pinking tool hand forged from a file, a sweet little H Boker divider, a saw setting wrest and split nut screwdriver tool, a Starrett metric rule in the case, and an old small double caliper. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2019/jacktownspring2019d1t2.jpg Not a great pile but it was worth the effort. And I had posted this on Facebook yesterday but this month marks my 25th anniversary of being in the old tool business. http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2019/oldriver25th03.jpg Tony (just another day in old toolville) -- Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tonyseomusic Old River Hard Goods http://oldetoolshop.com/ |

Tony, That combination saw wrest and split-nut driver tool is very interesting! Please tell us about the maker’s mark. That thing is worthy of reproduction! This was for fairly large split nuts. What sort of saw has that size of split nuts? Continuing the theme of “Oh, the things that I’ve learned on the Porch!” The “herb cutting knife” is something I’ve seen many times without knowing exactly what they were. I’d mistakenly thought they were weavers tools! Thanks to your informative post, I stand corrected! Sent from my iPhone |

That thing is worthy of reproduction! The mark is R Timmins & Son, faint but readable. Measuring 7 13/16" overall, the wrest area is 2 1/2" long, the screwdriver tip is 5/8" across the outside, about 3/8" across the inside of the tips, and this weighs 4 3/4 oz unboxed. R Timmons & Son were long time Birmingham England tool makers in business from 1790 until 1887 when they merged with W Wynn. This is sold already. http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/may/sawtool0502a.jpg http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/may/sawtool0502b.jpg > This was for fairly large split nuts. What sort of saw has that size of split nuts? No idea but the grooves on the wrest are for fine toothed saws. > Continuing the theme of “Oh, the things that I’ve learned on the Porch!” The “herb cutting knife” is something I’ve seen many times without knowing exactly what they were. I’d mistakenly thought they were weavers tools! Thanks to your informative post, I stand corrected! Well I have heard them called that but I have always known them as herb chopping knives. I know that Universal made them but until I clean that guy I can't say if there is a maker on it It was factory made.

Not that anybody will care, but... I believe what you are calling an herb knife is actually a banana knife. The first time I had one it took me forever to figure it out. I have one right now marked Universal L. F. & C. (Landers, Frary & Clark). If you go here you will see more about banana knives than you ever thought possible and some old catalog reprints identifying them as such. http://www.bananas.org/f2/banana-knife-great-american-tool-12728.html Ed O' -----Original Message----- From: OldTools [mailto:oldtools- bounces@s...] On Behalf Of Anthony Seo via OldTools Sent: Friday, May 17, 2019 12:55 PM To: oldtools@s...
