Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1529:
Description
This lot features a specialized industrial tool or jig, likely utilized for precision alignment or metalworking tasks. The component is constructed from a heavy-duty, dark gray or black material, potentially a high-density composite or coated metal, shaped in a rectangular form with rounded corners. A central pill-shaped cutout serves as an integrated handle for manual positioning. The face of the tool features a deep, curved recessed track along which a rectangular block is fitted. Above the curved track, three sets of numerical markings are engraved into the surface: the characters 1, 0 with a vertical line below, 2, 0 with a vertical line below, and 3, 0 positioned above the sliding block at the end of the track. These markings suggest a graduated scale for measuring or setting specific radial increments. The reverse side of the tool is a solid, flat surface without markings.
Condition report:
The tool shows visible signs of industrial use consistent with its function. The surface displays light scuffs, scratches, and minor abrasions across both the face and the reverse side (photo 1, 3). There is visible adhesive residue and clear tape on one end of the tool, currently being used to secure the sliding rectangular block within the track (photo 2). No major cracks or structural deformities are observed in the provided photographs.
