113 forum posts 6 photos	Does anyone know what this is? Seems to be home made, the threads on the thumbscrew are very fine, I would estimate 42 ish TPI. Initially thought it was a handle for a scraper blade, maybe? A few pence from the car boot, I thought it was worth that if only for the interest. Edited By Malc on 28/08/2017 14:24:16

The brass plate looks as though it might take a blade from a spokeshave, locating on the two dowels, with the knurled thumbscrew (which may actually be from a spokeshave) to clamp the blade in place. Maybe for use as some sort of scraper.
