Road grader story, My township and Devils Lake state park ended up in court about who owned the roadway.
Town brought in paid bills from a farmer for grading the road with a team of horses sometime before 1900 (they don't throw anything away).
Town said we DO NOT pay maintenance for anything we don't own.
They won.

Cool history ! This is just the sort of historical information that makes diving deep into the background of an item so interesting!

Here’s one. I actually have no idea myself. This ended up in my stuff that came home from my last trip to the southern shop. In a metal box so I know it’s older.

Precision ear-piercer ?
Some kind of pin or rivet setter. The hollow point on the punch is a clue to something.
I think it may be a jewelry making item.
Nipple ring master link staking tool?
Space so others can guess?
Had to revise this a couple times, I'm going with vacuum brake servo.

1956 Cadillac Bendix Treadle- Vac Power Brake Booster/Master Cylinder
This Bendix treadle-Vac Power Brake Booster/Master Cylinder unit is professionally rebuilt. Each booster and master cylinder are disassembled, cleaned, repaired and painted, and then assembled using all new seals, o-rings, gaskets, diaphragm, leather vacuum piston cup and vacuum push rod.
Yep, Treadle-Vac brake servo and master cylinder. Only this one is off a 1955 Packard Caribbean. The master cylinder is unlike any other I've ever worked on.
I would say that Gary came pretty damn close !
