Sorry, I thought that it was already understood what it was. These are drop-out jigs for frame-builders. Since the placement of the teeth in the drop-outs must be very precise or else the cambio corsa or paris-roubaix derailleurs will not work properly, these jigs were very important back in the day. Apart from the set that I owned, I have seen a few other sets, almost always in the hands of old framebuilders. The workmanship of the jigs is very high end. They could not have been cheap back in the day.

^^^, well the stretchers are right next to the skyhooks and behind the bolt holes, probably underneath the left handed brooms and the metric adjustable wrenches. Just go back and look carefully and get us some coffees while you are out screwing around new guy.

a bucket of steam- was the real deal. newbie told to go get one and he refused, thinking he was being set up. boss told him twice more and he still refused, so was fired.
steam was sprayed from a (of course) steam generator into a bucket and covered with a towel. long strips of tarpaper were dipped in it to soften them and make them tacky. used to wrap pipes exposed to cold weather in the south.
was in the grocery store saturday and saw a next door neighbor in the dairy section. moseyed over and saw she was staring at coupons. i asked her what was up and she said she was trying to stretch her money.
told her she needed a money stretcher. also told her i'd let her use mine, but it is broken.
man, she started squawkin'.

oh, yeah! oh, yeah!
wait a sec- does first guesser win a toaster oven, or luggage from american tourister?
here's my contribution.
Looks like a tool to clamp vulcanizing hot patch to inner tube, used a lot before tubeless tires became the standard.

VAR made a nice one too. I found it on ebay a number of years ago. I liked the VAR tool a bit better as the tip indicator was a 100 mm long rod. Useful for observing if the blades are taking the same path too.

Spoke threader, no?
I was 16 when I started getting paid to work on bikes, Tom, so 14 was a good guess.
Steel is a wonderfully plastic material. Like people, it responds to shock and direction. Unlike people, steel is predictable.

I know how crazy 14 year old boys can be. I was there when Zaphod Beeblebrox and Velognome were comparing their childhoods, and they had done similar things, like riding their bikes off peers into the river and keeping going.
I agree about steel. I get steel. It's almost as if steel gets me. It's beautiful.

It's clearly a gun rack.
A gun rack....you got me a gun rack. I don't even own A gun, let alone, enough guns to necessitate an entire rack. (wayne's world)
