Another What's It

Ya know that little guy who moves the thing you just put down on the corner of the welder.  

He is not always so little. Like the times I've search high and low for a tool I just had in my hand and found it in the other hand.  :

Gary, that's like my teacher in JH. She couldn't find her reading glasses. Went on for hours. The rest of the class wouldn't tell her that they were on top of her head!  🤭

Wow, you have a real puzzler there Corley. I've looked over pages of antique tools for this and that and never seen anything close. I'm sure you have to. :D

Maybe not complete, if the 90 deg bar is welded, I think it would fit into a pipe mount.

or maybe the 90 deg bar was supposed to slide (instead of rust welded), then maybe it is a slide hammer, to hit the nibbler on the end, or the puller on other end.

I cannot think of anything vintage that small, other than model trains maybe.. for setting and pulling tiny spikes??

Google searches for possibilities have came up with no pictures of anything similar.

It's not for killing vampires, they use oak for that.                                  That Belben is so disorganized.

Vampire season still a ways off in this area. 😌

Anybody have a picture of something like this?  Travis is off this week.  Zach is going to tell him it may be a knob and tube wiring tool and to see what reaction he gets from his dad  when he tells him that. ;D

Sometimes a tag team approach loosens lips. And there is also the likelihood he don't know neither and you're doing his research. :D

I know it's a real old story, but I found mine. Patent number 22283789. Filed Feb 27 1939, granted May 19 1942. It's a distributor adjusting tool

That was going to be my next guess. :D :D :D
