LOCKSMITH DOOR MORTISE TOOL
« on: May 14, 2012, 08:40:12 AM »
I just bid on this:

I had a Quik-Set, but the last time I needed it, it had apparently grew legs and ran off. 
Does anybody recognize this mortising tool? Know who made it?

The knobs look like the knobs on an electric one made by Rockwell...
fwiw..

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Rockwell would be nice.  I hope it's nice, because I just paypal-ed it.  Somebody just *had* to bid it up.  Still, the QuickSet that disappeared cost me $150 in 1987 dollars, so I can't complain about $48 (with shipping). 

The joints in the box sides look like factory joints.  What are the chances of this box being original to the mortise tool?  Doesn't bother me in the least
if it isn't, but it would be nice...
