GSXR Chevrolet S-10 promotion

  I don't remember ever seeing this promotional tie-up in any magazine back then. A Chevrolet S-10 pickup in GSXR colours. I expect it was attempting to follow the Yamahauler Toyota trucks of a few years previous. the linkup was featured in the Suzuki Family corporate magazine- which I'd never seen before...

Thanks, Kevan!

 

Brown & Sharpe Micrometer

 Here's a nice micrometer for those vital measurements you need to take- between 17 and 18 inches.

 

Osborne revolving punch

  

We've all seen (and owned) this type of multi-holesize leather punch. Usually assembled from a few pressed steel parts. They're fragile and never last long. This one is different, made of solid cast parts with a well supported wheel, a beautiful thing. 

The tool was made by a company named C. S. Osborne, which is still in business today. Company website here.

 

Monday Mystery, Monarch crimping tool?

  AI tells me this is a "TE connectivity 69710 Monarch" crimping tool (which it does not seem to be...) but between the name and the numbered parts there are no other markings. The jaws meet like a end cutter but does anyone have any ideas?
 

Another Ford Deluxe

Hotrod or stock?

 

Sidecar Sunday

East Germany,  1966

Stainless steel emasculator

Involuntary winces all round...

 

G-man gun

  Made by the Louis Marx toy company, this was a wind-up toy that made machine gun noises. Just the thing for a depression era boy.

Hat stretcher

 

  The handle turns on a double ended thread, moving the two ends further apart- to stretch that hat you rashly bought without trying on first. 

Savage Drama!
