AJS single

I really want to open that large housing on the head to see what the rocker system looks like. I've never posted a cutaway drawing of this engine.


 

Wooden toy locomotive

Nicely done and well proportioned. Looks like it could be homemade...

Monday Mystery; Multi tool

This looks like some sort of stove or agricultural wrench, looks really useful, the only marking is the PATT  2450 which isn't any help at all. How about a guess or two before using Google lens to identfy it?


 

Monday Mystery, Red Devil saw sharpener

Thanks, Terry!

 This is apparently a mitre attachment used for sharpening saws. Not clear how it works but maybe the picture below provides a clue.

L.&I.J. White 1837 Cooper's drawknife


A pretty specific tool here, this is a cooper's 5 1/2" Hand Chamfering Barrel Draw Knife. I had to really squint to make out enough of the logo to discover who the company was. 
 According to the mycompanies.fandom site;
 The L. & I. J. White Company was founded in 1837 (not incorporated till 1892) by Leonard and Ichabod J.  White in Monroe, Michigan. Their product line was mostly edge tools for woodworkers. 
In 1843 they moved to Buffalo, New York and in 1928 the company merged with the A. A. Simonds-Dayton Company and Worden Tool Company to form the Simonds-Worden-White Company.
