Title: Old tool for cutting glass? (Jilbertschmitt)
Post by: any88 on September 01, 2012, 11:57:46 AM: Hi.

I got this for free. I think this was used for cutting glass. its in pretty good condition, engraved copperplate letters are beautifully seen, and Im so sorry right now i have crappy camera and I cant show you that.

Actually, its tough for me to spell it out, i dont know this manufacturer (i dont know any), so here are the pics, and in one you can see silly try of me to write on paper how i see it, so judge by yourself if you can. ... it says Jilbertschmitt or something

shed some light, peeps

thnx
