It's called a "baffler"... don't ask me what it's used for :D

Actually ... it's used to start threads ;)

Some kind of window-screen tool, to press the screen into an aluminum channel?

My father had a letterpress business and had one of those tools. I don't remember what the purpose of it was.

It's used for quickly measuring stacks (or "lifts") of paper for various print shop and bindery procedures.

you've got the wrong end of the "L" in the slot.

You guys are beyond amazing. Thank you!

Bill Douglas 11-29-2020 07:42 PM

I think it works better a s a baffler or thread starter.

I mean really who cares about how many pads you pick up in one go.

The device is being demonstrated incorrectly in this image. The adjustable tang is placed on top of the stack allowing the knife edge spatula to be inserted between the sheets.
