Local find and only one I have ever found--anyone know the date for these as I remember the old 48 fords/mercs with fender skirts! Think this was an interegal part of a set in a steel box with several other parts just for flat head engines??? Any comments appreciated :cool:

I have its brother. Eleven inches long. Marked ALBERTSON & CO /SOUIX CITY. U.S.A.
Logo is a stylized SOUIX inside a flexed bow and arrow. Mine is #775 and has phillips screws. The leather leaves were so badly damaged that I replaced with some old, hard rubber of the same thickness.
Picked mine up in Hermann, MO, a great German wine town on the Missouri river. They have a fine Octoberfest.
What is your Ford reference?

Mine is also a #775 model and has slotted screws holding the head together and brass slotted on the handles which look to be a bakelite black color--used by radio mfgrs back in those days. It's also in the clean tank now-will show pictures when it's all shinney looking. The only reference point I found was on CL #chicagoland listing r#xsr-6363251261@sale.craigslist.org Ford flathead seat cutter tool-$220 (Mundelein) Looks identical to the one I have.
