It's for opening the square hole in pocket watch minute hands. There are similar round ones as well. Inalways thought it's a pity they don't make three square ones.

Was that a comment on my linking of the Vallorbe catalalogue, Larry ?

For anyone with limited funds ‘drooling over it’ is all that’s likely to happen, pending the Lottery win.

… a handful of files from that long list would be a substantial investment, but it’s always good to see things done properly.

Polite folk might prefer the phrase ‘window shopping’

I think Bedford had a logo but I suppose there may not have been room for it on this tiny file.

Thanks for that Roy, but surely it would have been easier with a square taper whereas this one is rectangular. Phil
