Description
An early version of a somewhatsuccessful
spiral screwdriver, the idea had been around forever but the tech to actually machine one that people could afford didn't happen till after the civil war. Needs a drop or two of oil but works fine, pre 1895 before son was added to the company name.
For information on old tools the resources at Mid West Tool Collectors Association are top notch. They have links collected there for everything antique tool related.
