Mystery tool (was Re: [AT] eBay auctions for "rare" stuff

[Mike Sloane]

Somebody on the "antique tool" list found a patent drawing of a

described as a tool for setting saw teeth.

The eBay seller has changed his description accordingly.

It's hard to argue against cynics - they always sound smarter
than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side.
