I'm off in the morning and not back till sometime Sunday night. I'll see if I can find anything interesting while I'm away.

Here's one while we wait for Norm.   Anyone know who made this?

I don't have the foggiest idea so I'm going to guess, Ed Flintstone. Fred Flintstone's younger brother.

Trina says maybe Engelbert Humperdinck.

That’s a limited edition “Sanford and Sons Special”, interestingly enough: in mint condition. Only known one left in existence.

Looks like a Mow Cycle by the Musgrave Manufacturing Company. Model 5310 ?

It is green, but not DB.    Here's a better pic.

For the M16, M4, and their variants. 

My understanding is that the round BFA was designed for the cyclic 556 and 762, specifically.

Now, if you had put the good photo up before I could have figured it out.. Interestingly there is almost nothing out there about that company.

Here is an easier one.

This is where I got the picture from

I used it because it was the first one I ran across that wasn’t attached to the rifle 

[formariz 11,865]

Any guesses as to what it is?

 

[ebinmaine 63,349]

They look like a pruning/trimming sheers or possibly a type of metal snips 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was leaning towards a snip with a depth gage for cutting equal length tabs.

No cigars. Probably as expected it is a woodworking tool. Rarely used by woodworkers now a days and most likely unknown to most.

[Ed Kennell 35,949]

Do the two jaws or blades open or close when the handles are squeezed?  I can't tell from the pic.

[formariz 11,865]

Some better photos. "jaws" are part of one "handle and do not move. They are fixed.
