E C Atkins tool


 


This is an odd one, first that blade-type thing is wrong, it's actually a knife from a hay mower, so that's a distraction. E C Atkins of Indianapolis opened in 1855 and made mostly saws of all types as well as blade-related equipment, but I don't see this tool in any of the trade catalogs online. Previous post here

It’s an EC Atkins rams horn scraper plane that somebody stuck something that doesn’t belong into it. It should have a flat scraper blade or a card scraper clamped in place.
