Wooden handle is well-worn, but two thread-lines are apparent in the middle. The tang is bent over the end of the wooden handle. The bearing (terminology?) at the front of the arm is square. Stubs catalogs show these as cylinders by (date needed...1851?). See Stubs catalogs in "Horological Shop Tools 1700 to 1900", T.R. Crom (pp. 185, 200, 209). |
