Barn find

[Mmac52280]

Wild guess would be for bending sheet metal for ductwork, especially flat duct turns, offsets, where it's not all 90 degree bends. Again, a wild guess.

Ok, the real question is how many barns do you have!!???!!

Seriously tho, really enjoy your "barn find" posts!!

The bottom pics are a marking gauge. It is used for woodworking. Favored by hand-tool workers. Very useful for laying out mortise & tennons and dovetails and the like.

Modern example

First item looks like a paper feed off a VERY early Xerox machine.

Second one looks like a heating element from a water heater, before electricity was invented.

So, like all the others, I'm clearly stumped.

I agree with you have to wonder if it is another sheetmetal tool used for moving sheetmetal like a Handi-grab?

Upon further looking at it the part with the round stock opens and closes, down on he bar.
So it looks like a sheet metal / aluminum,type bender , but I was wrong one time before

Took a closer look at second one, and it has measurements on it .

Hey, I ended up with the old gunsmiths barn and he was a hoarder of sorts , every time I walk in there I just shake my head and laugh a little.
His family also operated the stage from horse and buggy days through when it changed to cars .
Here's a pic of my friend (the kid ) , and his father with horse and buggy.
The one with the old car is my friends father driving.

The first looks like it clamps into a vertical and looks like a roll bender of some sort. I did better on the shoe...,
