What is it????? Update: SOLVED

[abunaitoo]

Been searching the web for anything that even looks like it.
Nothing.
It might just be something homemade.
If it is, the guy did a great job.

Found out what it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's to form model boat propellers.
Change the pitch to match the speed.
Picture of a smaller one showing how it's used.

Okay, how in the world did you find that?

[abunaitoo]

Guy on the Hobby forum knew what it was.
Now we know.
It's good to learn something new every once in a while.

I would of never thought of that that is so cool that you found out what it was thank you for sharing D Crockett

I'd hazard a guess that they once belonged to a Tinker, and used to make bowels and such. I've seen some somewhat similar tools in a jewelry supply store.

The guy I got it from did race model boats.
There was a board set of props that I didn't get.
Bunch of built and unbuilt boats that i didn't take.
mystery solved.

Found a site that shows how to use it.
Not the same as the one I have, but works the same.

Thank you to ShooterAZ for adding "Solved" to the title.

there was a lot of people that guessed a lot of different thing in my wildest dreams I would of never thought it was for fixing boat props thanks for letting us know what it is D Crockett

It looks like I did not post a guess. But, I would have guessed it to be a tool used for forming metal. Something like bowels or ash trays. You find some of the coolest stuff!

[abunaitoo]

Thanks.
I kind of like weird things.
I would guess only a serious, model boat race,r would have known what this was.

According to information i got from the Hobby Forum, It was made by a guy named Jim Osborne.
He must have made a few of them. Guy posted a picture of one in way better condition than the one I have.
Said is sold a few years back for $75.00.
At least mines has all the parts.
