If you look at the patent drawing they don't match.

I was wondering of maybe the patent was for the mechanical parts but was still used for something else.

Antique Questions Forum / Smilie Napper - Help on what this is?

« on: March 30, 2012, 02:26:36 pm »

My grandfather and I have had this for awhile. He said it was found in an old pharmacy (1940's or later) that was tore down. We have tried to find the Patent number with no luck. We have taken this to two local antique events and no one had any idea what it was or what it was used for.

It has a big wheel which cranks onto a smaller "blade" type wheel. There is a US Patent #1766198. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
