A buddy of mine got some old tools out of a 1920s-30s shop. One is Snap-On and is cast number S-9580 then stamped 7. Does anyone know what this thing is ?
Got a pic? You could also try this link to the vintage tool "social group". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?groupid=215

It helps hold the whole mess together while you get it bolted back together other wise it's a pain in the ***.
