What-is-it question CCIV

I don't think this one will last long, but we'll see.

A jeweller's tool from 1905, but what was it's use?

Being a jeweller, they are still in use today. Initials R.C.

Hi Jim,

I knew you would know the answer.

Let's see if anyone else gets it.

Just a guess, is it some sort of cutting tool for making watch parts?

Hi Martin,

You are correct as far as the cutting operation, but not about the subject.

Well done Bahner!

This example is of German manufacture.

I like that ratcheting lever better than the modern ones with direct rotati0n blade. it would be easier on everyone's fingers.
