I Bought An Antique Bead Roller. Need help :-)

It also appears to have a stop to ensure that the swage is a measurable distance from the edge of the metal. Well done on the find, is there any makers name on it?

Hi Brian, unfortunately, there are no maker info on it at all.
 
I reckon you got a good score on those two. What great projects. Not much throat on the roller might have been used more for edge setting work or ducting.
Dies are easy to make on a lathe. For upsetting flanges you need a flat die and one that has a profile like a dovetail cutter.
