Wednesday Blue Light Special...Rosewood morticing guage - Timberwolf - 11-30-2016
I bought this old guy years ago knowing it needed medical attention and a little TLC...It is an ancient English {I am assuming} morticing guage made of Brazillian Rosewood and brass..The brass beam locking scew escutcheon is what Roy calls an “Egyptian Eye”..A screwdriver locks the heaf to the beam....The steel “fine adjustment” nut which goes through the beam, is stripped but could be replaced is desired, but a competent neanderthal..However, it can be used by adjusting the beam by hand, then tightening the locking screw.
The mortice head itself was cracked but repaired years ago by a previous “caretaker”...
.If you love really old tools, this might be for you...but I am selling it as is for the first ten bucks plus $6.50 priority shipping to your mailbox. Paypal only..USA sale only {sorry}..Thanks for looking...
..............Note..still having trouble with posting photos {like so many members}..I will post as soon as I get it figured out..

If you deleted it off of Photoshop then it will delete it here as well. Also I was to late to see it or I would have bought it as well. I just love the old stuff and would have fixed it and put it out for everyone to see how nice things were made back then.
