275857 | Bill Ghio | 2022‑07‑03 | Whatsit/drawbore pin? |
I have had this pin laying around for a while now. I picked it up thinking it was a drawbore pin, but thought I should ask for some thoughtful opinions. The pin is 5 1/2 inches long, so shorter than what I have typically seen. It has a hole driven through the upper portion to facilitate removal. From the mushrooming on the head it looks to have been driven hard. There is what appears to be an owner’s mark that reads “T.H. GOUGH” So, drawbore pin or? https://www.flickr.com/photos/77280442@N.../albums/72177720300279511 Bill |

I'm not convinced it's a drawbore pin. The mushrooming on the head suggests it's been hit hard more than once. Unless perhaps you're trying to align steel plates or some other hard material. Phil On Sun, Jul 3, 2022 at 12:09 PM Bill Ghio via groups.io |

Which would make it a drift pin, no? Or possibly a drawbore pin that's been used as a drift pin. |

Hey Bill---I'd use it for drawing bores. Yes, it's been driven hard, but certainly not at the point.. That part's got to be meant to find its way through the smallest 'window', and guide the tool home before the striking and wedging take place. I'd use it for that and not much else, that I can figger. also, nice looking! best gam in OlyWA How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one cares for none of them!

I'll probably have to eat crow. It looks like a typical style. Phil |

Yeah, one would think that. http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/july/hammer0701a.jpg There is a local blacksmith that loves his hammers on the big side and I'm waiting hear back from him on this guy. Back in November he got this one from me. http://oldetoolshop.com/forsale/nov/hammer1112a.jpg Clocking the scales at a mere 21 lbs 4 oz. I have a standing order from him for a 25 lb plus cross peen head. Many years back I had a 26 1/2 lb one, but they are pretty scarce.
