🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Tool of some sort

[Mr. H]

I have no idea as to what this is. It is approx 5 1/2" and has B1293 with a triangle shape (after the 3) etched on it. Thanks for looking!

I'm guessing it is a hardy tool of some sort.

Why do you spam this website with stupid junk ? Its called TreaureNet, not Junk I found
You have 6 threads with junk and rusty crap

Well sir, some of what you are calling junk may have a value of several hundred dollars. Until those items are properly identified by the talented folks that are members here we have to put those items it the "properly identified column". So the "crap" phrase may very well be associated with...

It looks like an uncommon type of offset screwdriver. Anyway, that's what I would use it for if I had it.

 

[Mr. H]

Hey Folks, Just want to say I certainly did NOT intend to upset anyone/ or waste anyone's time here with "stuff/junk" they deemed inappropriate for the site. At the same time, I want to thank the folks who provided insight into items I posted - it was much appreciated. Great forum. Period.

To try to make light of my unintended disruption - thinking I might need to reconsider my culling assistant.

 

[creskol]

You have done nothing to apologize for.

I think it is a bead breaking tool used for taking tires off of the rims, used before the machines were common. This is only a guess on my part.

I don't know if you're right but that is a great guess.

Some type of specialized pry bar?
Maybe a bead breaker. Thanks for showing it here. Once again, welcome to the forums. I hope you stick around.

breaking a bead with a tool that's 5 1/2'' long is a bit of a stretch.

 

[creskol]

With the square shaft, I still think it is a hardy tool of some sort. There must have been a gazillion and 10 designs, some readily available standard designs and oodles of ones that were not common at all.

No idea from me but that is an intriguing item!

I did some research after ticndig made his excellent observation.
and I am inclined to think now that it may be a stone setting tool of some kind, but I cannot find any example. I will continue to look because, I gotta know what this thing is.

I was thinking about bicycle tires. It would work for that.

With a serial number it could be a part to something else. I was thinking a gun but it doesnt look like any gun part I have ever seen. The only tool I found with those numbers is a Mercedes-Benz TIMING CHAIN RIVETING TOOL

A friend told me it was used to open wood crates.

If I needed to open a crate ,a tool with a length of 5 1/2'' would not be my choice .I'd use a crowbar.

I thought people might think that and maybe my use of the word crate was not the best, but "crates" used to come in many sizes. Maybe I should have said box or small wooden crate.
