Nutcracker - die holder for threading pipe

[gh1950]

I think this is a cast iron chain break for cast iron pipe, but I'm reaching deep into the way back machine for that, feel free to correct me. Don't think many people use cast iron any more, but if you do, you really should get this.

With an appropriate handle, would make an awesome attitude adjustment instrument.

Cast iron, Toledo brand, probably cost a fortune if you buy one at the supply store, perfectly free, picked up in Athens

You're probably right. If it was supposed to be used for a chain brake or similar it would have a slot in it for the excess chain to feed through to keep the chain aligned.

Yeah, I can see how that would work, probably a more valuable item, will trade for a case of .223 ammo or bass boat.
