Not everyone has one, but everyone should.

*project 67 sub* · 09-20-2011, 06:04 PM

is it auto related??

Mike Bradbury · 09-20-2011, 06:40 PM

No not automotive in use

71swb4x4 · 09-20-2011, 07:11 PM

Fire hydrant wrench?

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-20-2011, 07:38 PM

Old Brass FIRE HYDRANT WRENCH Portland Fire Dept. OR.

71swb4x4.....you got it .....I found the same pic

71swb4x4 · 09-20-2011, 08:13 PM

I did that without searching believe it or not. It was the only thing I could think of that had a 5 sided nut like that. I will see what I can find for you guys.

71swb4x4 · 09-20-2011, 08:27 PM

Here is the next one. I just took this picture.

bmfm64 · 09-20-2011, 08:53 PM

Lathe adjustment?

You got it!!

Mike Bradbury · 09-21-2011, 04:43 PM

I think you and I must have similar professions

Here is the next one, it is not auto related, but a darn handy tool to have in your tool box.

clue......

PanelDeland · 09-22-2011, 07:54 PM

Looks like a "Screw starter " to me,except that it isn't split far enough to spring.

71swb4x4 · 09-22-2011, 08:33 PM

I am a property manager, not a locksmith. But I can tell you that it is used to master key padlocks.

I had to post your picture on a landlord forum that I frequent.
Cheating? Probably. I don't care

Mike Bradbury · 09-23-2011, 01:51 AM

You got it. As far as cheating goes, the Internet is there for just this reason.
These tools only work with specialty master locks and are great so you dont have dozens of different keys lying around.

Someone else needs to post something, I am heading out for work and might not be back until late.
How about whoever sees this message first gets to post their picture. So, if you are reading this and there isn't a new picture get one up here.

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-23-2011, 12:50 PM

onequickchevy · 09-23-2011, 09:08 PM

I have been looking through this and have done fairly well, but this has me stumped. Is that a knurled thumbwheel ?

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-23-2011, 10:12 PM

the platform does rotate....and you probably knew it's very old

more pics......

ETsC10 · 09-23-2011, 11:45 PM

OK now. Think I got this one.

That has got to be an iron-age backwards sundial for when
they figured cars would be timed with solar energy!

This device turns down the timing on those solar engines
running on Solar-high speed and pinging because of it.

NO? Drat. More clues?

Mike Bradbury · 09-24-2011, 01:33 AM

Is this a tool or something else? looks like the decorative embossing on the base, not many tools have that kind of decor.
Maybe an old siren out of an old police car?

Ellen congrats........no you didn't guess it, but your actually on the write track with sundial (but it's not nearly that old) and timing. This was made in the 17th or possibly early 18th century.
