Car Boot find. They don't make 'em like this any more.

Car boot today £2 covered in dirt (patina? )

Any guesses as to when it was made?

Oh, that's lovely!

Can't help you on date.

My guess would be, a very long time ago! Also a bargain.

I know I may get slated for this but.........what is it?

I'm assuming its some sort of marking device?

Please be gentle....!!! I'm still feeling rather jaded after a night out last night.

I would guess early C20 from German speaking Europe - two stem gauges are still sold by Ulmia and ECE
The Wolfgang Jordan site has links to European manufacturers with some old catalogues and the Eckhard Pohlmann collection shows some similar tools

Nice find Roger , picked this Stanley up last week . Paid a little too much for it at £10 from a dealer.

Not as nice as your find :mrgreen:

Cheers Bern

well, I'll put myself out there: 1912. Would have no idea whether it was from Germany or anywhere else though.
