This might be a good one for "What is it?". Made in 1922.
I just got the parts back from the plater, electroless nickle.

Don't know. Something like an Mini-English Wheel?

Looks like a baby English Wheel. How cute!
What'll it be when it grows up?

I could be wrong, which certainly wouldn't be a first, but that's what
it looks like to me. Maybe it's used for making small sheet metal items.

English wheel. I'm guessing it was used to deal with repairs on those
sweeping fenders popular on the 20's and 30's vintage cars.

You guys are good!
It is intended for on-car repairs. I bought it at a local junk shop for $20,
when i took it to the restoration shop where i worked the body guys really
wanted to buy it from me. Too bad, I never sell a tool I have less than a
few of.
I'm going to clamp it in the vice and use it to make a motorcycle fairing.

If he took a copy of Tom Brown's _Grandfather_ with him, he just may
survive that trip. That old Apache was something else.

I wonder when we will get cheap English wheels in the UK at the likes of
MachineMart which would be the equivalent to HF. I made my own years ago
but it's much larger and not readily portable like that little thing.
Maybe it should have been thrown back and allowed to grow up into a full
sized English wheel.
