What is it??? A friend of mine sent me this pic knowing I have a thing for identifying old gadgets. So all I know is some one sent him this pic of the item from someones estate. I don't know what kind of work or business this person who's estate this came from did? There is also nothing to scale this thing to, so no idea how big or small it is, or if there is name on it? It does looks to me like some kind of anchor or flaring tool? I'll say it first Pig Castorator...:-) What say All???? Mac

That is an impact firing pin for a bomb. Ok are you joking on this one? because I could see that working. Do know who to ask though. Actually would think if Paul has looked at this he would know that one. I still haven't found out yet from the person who sent my the pic what the item is. Really could be just about anything. Mac

Interesting, the rod has been machined for a spec. use, a hole in one end would indicate it is made to be pulled. I can't see it is made to fit into something because of the two screw heads on one side and the thread coming out the other side. I am going to go with a bearing puller or bushing puller.

Show the pic to my friend who is very versed in bombs and explosives. So from his expertise it is not a part of any known explosive device. Ask the person who sent me the pic if he knew any more? He said he did find out that it is only 2 inches long. So smaller than what I thought the photo suggested. I do think it could be a bushing puller or a flaring tool of some type. Might be something the person who made it used for his one special thing he needed it for?? Would help to know what that person did for a living? With the groove around it. Maybe it had an o-ring of some type in that groove. Drop it in some tube give it a jerk and scrap inside of tube out??? Who Knows?

Mac It appears the two sections with bolts or cap screws are made from brass, [b]as to not cause damage, I vote for some kind of puller[/b]- seals, bearing or some kind of core After studying the tool noting that it is expandable, has a probe and a hole and ring for pulling, and is 2” long, and reading the comments quoted here, I modify my earlier suggestion. I now suggest that it is a combination tool. It is an oral surgeon’s tool for removing impacted teeth and a gynecologist’s tool for removing impacted tampons. Why would it be anything else!

Some kind of lapping tool. The loose ring looks like it fit's the center groove to control expansion.

Maybe holds something like a ring in the brass groove for making jewelry ?

Someone else who replied to my friends post on this did suggest a jewelers tool to hold or expand a ring. My fist thought was that it was used inside something to expand it. But with the little rivets not being flush on the sides. Seems less likely. Mac
