April 14, 20196 yr A Navy buddy picked up some old tools and is looking for some help identifying them. Any ideas on these??? Thanks!
April 14, 20196 yr Top left looks like a vise for holding a hand saw while sharpening. Maybe the center tool is to set the teeth?

April 14, 20196 yr Author Just now, Roly said: What is a scorp ? Roly A tool used to hollow or dig out a concave surface- like a spoon.
April 14, 20196 yr Saddle makers leather vise.....nail and staple puller used on shipping crates...scorp, maybe a Cooper's Scorp to do the insides of barrel staves...
April 14, 20196 yr Middle tool is vintage wire/barbed wire fence stretcher. Many versions out there. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/durbin-durco-wire-fence-stretcher-501-1823213110
April 15, 20196 yr Don't think that is a scorp . The blade is attached by rivets. maybe a scraper. Just not heavy enough for the scorp.
April 15, 20196 yr Author Thanks for all of the ideas and suggestions. I've passed the information on to my friend! Edited April 15, 20196 yr by lew
