I found these in the tool chest I bought a couple of weeks ago…
Some I believe are apprentice pieces, others purchased by Mr Thurlow during his career, and some he may have ’forgotten’ to return to stores
the center finder and what I believe is a depth gauge are obviously scratch made - as is the 1/8th inch parallel
Then there’s this imperial radius gauge - in increments of 100th of an inch… I’m not sure as the markings are a bit worn and don’t seem to follow a pattern - the largest says 4 1/2, but the next is 45. The first is definitely not 4 1/2”, but the second is probably 450 thou… I dunno. I’m metric.
There was also a set of BSF 7/16 taps
And the reamers you can see in the first pics. I think that apart from one straight one, the others are tapered pin reamers. The second to largest states it’s a no 4. The smallest is a 0. The others are impossible to read. How would I identify these mystery reamers?
Finally there where these:
some sort of starrett adjustable square (no. Unknown), a starrett fishtale, and another fishtail with and adjustable depth gauge thing. I can’t make out the maker, but it was born in Boston Massachusetts.
can anyone identify it?
cheers
Jason.
