Richard Auld Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Guys, picked up a lucky bag from the scrappys today. Some date stamp tools for burning into wood or leather? Odd shaped tools that I will clean up and look for markings. A box of things that look like drift pins. They are what got me searching as the are Marked 10 (size?) 1942 Year and 'clc' three letter code, they are also blued like weapon parts. I can't find my codes book so don't have an idea what the firm manufactured. Any ideas? Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 So, cleaned them up a bit and I must say they are very well made! The wooden thing that looks like a drum stick is hollow with a hole at the narrow end as if you would blow down it and the fatter end has 10 holes? The other wooden bit with string was attached to the handle with the rack affair. The other date stamp handles are probably for 1942 and 1943 as that is the only wartime dates one could make with those 5 stamps. Lastly the small items dated 1942 have all cleaned up well and the box looks to be large enough for 40 or 50 of them in rows of 10. Any ideas?

Davejb Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Are they possibly anything to do with blacksmithing or farriers, they look a bit extreme for horses, but you never know?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Dave, I do have some blacksmith tools some similar to this but I am not getting what you would 'brand' with the date stamps, I am thinking leather or wood? Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 You may have to show them at (dare I say this) an old tools group on facebook, i think there are several or even one of the antique pages there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Might be worth a spin Mike. I will add it to the to do list. I am not on FB much at all. Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike H Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 If you like Richard I could download your pictures to my phone and post at one of the pages I belong too. Also may help to know what country you're in. I'm thinking Germany but. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Mike, that is a very kind offer, be my guest, yes, found in a German scrap yard! Thanks for the assistance! Best Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Ok, just posted lets see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Only got a couple answers but the consensus is farriers tools for the most part. The u shaped piece with the wooden handle is for working in a horses, or other large animals mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 OK, I suppose that would make sense since there were a lot of ST (Stalle) buildings on camp. I suppose a farier maight also do a bit of saddlery, hence the date brands? Thanks for your time Mike. if I find any DDR I wiull drop you a line.

Richard Auld Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Guys, I gave one of the small 'clc' things to an EOD bloke that knows a bloke who knows another bloke..... It transpires that they are armoureres tools for measureing gaps or holes on a weapon system, he said machine gun but nothing specific. I hope to get an introduction to the bloke as he is an expert in this area. Rich Edited January 17, 2020 by Richard Auld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
