A “Whats’it” for October
« on: October 18, 2011, 03:25:58 pm »
OK now, get your thinking caps on and we will see how many of you know what this “old timer” is.

The 1st picture shows the mechanism in the “closed” position, the 2nd picture shows it in the “open” position and the 3rd photo just shows the opposite side. The board it is mounted on is probably 34” long.

It was manufactured by ……. B M Daniel, Stratford, Conn.

This is a new one on me, I'm going to take a wild guess that it is some sort of crimping device? It would appear that it takes a round, coin-sized object and crimps it... maybe a bottle cap maker?
