October 14, 20232 yr Was covered in dust and crud...View #1 View #2... There is a thumbscrew...that secures the iron.. One end of the "iron" is more like a cutter from a hand plane, however.... Along one side of the iron..there are these profiles.. Not sure what this is for...no markings to be found..
October 17, 20232 yr Author Popular Post Well...it did clean up rather nicely.. Seems to work best like this as a scraper...left hand rests on that smooth, cup like feature...other side? The "iron" is a tad too wide, to turn it 90 degrees...Will research this a bit, and see HOW to use those shapes... It does have a Patent Date.. PAT. DEC. 8 99.....as in 1899...Hmmm...
October 18, 20232 yr Cool. I'm wondering if it's some type of "crown molding cutter" used in making decorative profiles in plaster molding? Patent era seems about right. Not sure exactly how it would work. Just a SWAG.
October 18, 20232 yr The profiles look like they were done after market and used with out handle as a scraper. But boy that would be a lot of work.
