Reminds me of a saw part. back of blade runs in groove and between the two dogs up front. Yep found a pic of a reciprocating meat saw. The link is a better match but the photo gives you some idea.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly .. but I was wondering if Pearl Sutton ever figured out what those hanger things were?

Hi, welcome to Permies! If you keep reading the thread (I think we are at 40 pages in at this point!) most things have been identified farther along.
I have put at least two racks in here, one of which turned out to be for wineglasses

And one of which ended up getting it's own thread here where it was identified:
This rack needs it's own thread

If neither of those is what you meant, PM me and I'll look harder.
:D

I had this thing turn up in a box lot and am scratching my head.
Considering where it came from, it could be woodworking related but there are no sharp blades on any part.
Any ideas?

Ooh what a fun thing!
Does that say "K 5" on the handle?

Looks like the 'blade' is detatchable? If this is #5 maybe it comes in other sizes?

I think it says either "HA" 5 or "KA" 5 on the handle. The long part can be removed from the handle and double layer metal section. The diamond shape seems to be how it locks into position.

Total WAG (wild assed guess) - I wonder if it's a special tool in the upholstery industry? Before furniture was all foam and plastic.

With the shape and dull blades, we thought something for loom weaving but upholstery could also be possible. I'm fairly familiar with the basics so I know it's not entry level if it is for that.

I feel the tool is from a set with interchangeable blades.

I feel it is for making grooves. An antique grooving plane.

If you had the set it might be for tongue and groove.

I'm in the upholstery tool camp, and in the interchangeable tips camp.

Reminds me of stuff I saw long ago (mid 1970s) when my uncle had an upholstery shop. I was too young to understand what the tools were for, and I may be wrong, he had things for packing stuffing into things and pulling the strings that were used to contain packing in layers. I'm guessing (and it's ONLY A GUESS!) that it's something in that genera.

If someone has time to research it from that point of view they might find it.

Well, an industrially knowledgeable friend suggests: incomplete hand-held tufting tool.

It does look like a good possibility. There are no other marks than the ones on the handle that I already posted.

So there ought to be another part with a hook or needle on that actually went back and forth through the material. I'm interested in this since making wool rugs was a hobby of my great grandfather, and we had a rug in the playroom as small children with a teddy bear design he had made....
I couldn't find a tool that looked identical, but there is a fascinating talk about the history of tools for hand-tufting by Michale Heilman here. Some had hand cranks and some went back and forth with a sliding motion. But it could date from anywhere from 1900 to 1970s.
