Thread Die Set - very unusual
« on: August 20, 2016, 09:45:16 AM »
Hello all, not mine but a friends... This very unusual and nicely made Thread Die set has 4 sets of interchangeable dies giving a total of 14 thread sizes from 1/4 to 3/4 , both fine and standard thread forms, plus 1/8 NPT. Marked .. Zoerman Company, Jackson Mich USA,  Pat'd Aug 1922. Very nicely made, handles flip out and lock for use then fold for storage. Ever seen one like it?

A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

Crazy. That thing must have been expensive as heck to produce. I love it!

Wow, new to me, awesome find and other than the box it looks to be in good condition with all of the original pieces.
