Members jmkjmk2 Posted June 7, 2012 Members Report Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) So this was in a collection of tools I bought and I have no idea what it is. Check it out and see if you have ever seen one. What is it? what's it used for? What era is this from?

Members WyomingSlick Posted June 7, 2012 Members Report Posted June 7, 2012 It's a lever stamp machine that was sold by Tandy for years, some fifty-sixty years ago. There were various punch attachments availible for it. They come up on ebay once in a while. Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !
Members jmkjmk2 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Members Report Posted June 7, 2012 It looks more like a chisel punch. But you say it had various punch attachments for it?

Members WyomingSlick Posted June 7, 2012 Members Report Posted June 7, 2012 OK, I looked it up in the 1964 Tandy catalog. Yours is missing the original handle which looks to be much like the handles on Tandy's regular hand tools. The "Lever Punch" (cat#1759) sold for $12.00. It came with punching needles for making 1/8" and 3/32" lacing holes. Extra needles, as well as an optional diamond saddle stitch needle cost 75 cents.
