another find...

....in amongst the junk.

A Tyzak marker gauge, address as Old st. london.

looks like a museum piece, but I suspect it isnt.

It's a cutting gauge (not a marking gauge) and it's missing its blade retaining wedge.

These are easily made though. Nice tool (proper boxwood screw)

another learning curve.
doubt if i shall use this as I already have a double point gauge which is rarely used.

Still finding interesting stuff, heres an adjustable by richards stamped "tent brand" on one side, and the broad arrow and 1944 stamped on it.

That adjustable looks very like the "King Dick" adjustable in my own tool box, nice find.

Yours is a bit better condition than mine.

I dont use adjustables because everyone always uses too much force and open up the jaws untill the thing slips and takes knuckle skin off.
The jaws on this one are several degrees out of parallel
