All 3/8" tapped holes.....way "squarer" than I can measure..... ;D

Nice, looks like it will be handy for some of those hard to setup jobs.
 
Appears to be pretty heavy Dave, you might drop it on your foot. Better, I think, to let me look after it for you!
 
Nice score. I recently helped a friend move out the entire workshop of a retired tool and die maker. He had an amazing collection of tooling, fixtures etc that he made. All of it was superb. I managed to buy a little Chinese 7x12 lathe that he had 'worked' over. I could not be more pleased with the workmanship he put into his modifications.

That bit of kit you got there looks like something that would have come from this gentleman's workshop.
 
My strapping is all 3/8-16 so it will be right at home on "Norm"

6 x 6.5 x 6.5"

TW..

It was part of Buick Motors....says so...built in 1957....

I suspect it came out of the tool crib somewhere....sometime.

Someone knew what they were doing.....that's for sure....I wish old tools could talk...Just think of the stories you'd hear!

Oh and TW

It came out of Guysville OH......


Dave
 
Probably came home in a lunch pail with someone. Hows that Johnny Cash song go... ;D

If it went out in the lunch pail...that pail had a strong handle!....suckers heavy!

Nice what sort of modifications?

Nice find Dave should be really handy
 
Nice find Dave. Even if you never use it, it's "heritage" alone makes it special, though I suspect you will find lots of uses for it.
