Nail puller patent

[Bus]

Bus, what does the Jan 9, 1906 (No. 809,803) drawing look like?  Or the Dec. 2, 1913 (No. 1,080,210) drawing?

Branson, Here's the links to to the other two patents on Google Patents:

Jan 9, 1906 (No. 809,803)
http://www.google.com/patents?id=QrBwAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&dq=patent:809803&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q=patent%3A809803&f=false


Dec. 2, 1913 (No. 1,080,210)
http://www.google.com/patents?id=YE5EAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&dq=patent:1,080,210&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q=patent%3A1%2C080%2C210&f=false

Concerning "Not known to have been produced." on the patent page. This is from the DATAMP website which is a private project by collectors to list all the tool patents. The steward that enters the tool patent lists the tool "Not known to have been produced." if he doesn't know of an example till someone informs him otherwise.

Stan Schulz (editor of the Missouri Valley Wrench Club Newsletter) is the wrench steward. He is actually looking at every patent starting with the first patent searching for any that are wrench related. he has found around 3000 wrench patents with the earliest granted on Dec. 14, 1830. He has looked at almost 600,00 patents and is up to up to near the end of 1897. He has also listed over 1000 wrench patents that he has found in his research after 1897, the latest is Design Patent No.D530,166 issued on Oct. 17, 2006

Many of these that he originally listed as "Not known to have been produced." have been discovered and the listing changed.

I have a collection of over fifty of this type nail pullers that have been stored away since I sold the hardware store. I will try and dig them out and hunt for the Bridgeports to see if I have this one.

Hmmm.  The '06 patent drawing looks like it fits the "Jumbo" nail pullers, and near as I can figure, the movable jaw doesn't mount with the bridle joint used with the 56 nail pullers.   The '13 patent is an entirely different critter.

It really begins to look like Patent No. 708,841 from 'o2 is what we are looking at, and that the production model is drop-forged instead of stamped. 

Maybe the boys at DATAMP would like a look at this...


Thanks for the use of all your knowledge, Bus!
