| Other | Status | Location |
| 52403T6 | Framing clamp | DTM |
| Dropped forged iron, 7 3/4" long, 4 5/8" wide when closed, unsigned. |
| An excellent example of late 19th century tool designing ingenuity. This tool appears very useful as a frame clamp -- but |
| this design is no longer manufactured. |
| 112400T1 | Hand drill | bio | DTM |
| Steel and wood, 14" long, signed "MADE IN USA No. 2A MILLERS FALLS TOOLS GREENFIELD, MA", ca. 1950. |
| 41801T9 | Miniature brace | bio | DTM |
| Cast iron, steel and wood, 7 7/8" long, takes at most a 1/8" diameter bit, unsigned. |
| This is probably a Miller's Falls product. A collectable tool from the classic period of the Industrial Revolution. |
| 102100T22 | Mortising bit | DTM |
| Wood, 8 1/2" long, 3/4" diameter, signed "Greenlee Rockford ILL MADE IN USA". |
| DATM (Nelson 1999, 333) indicates Greenlee Bros. & Co. moved from Chicago to Rockford, IL, in 1905. This modern |
| mortising bit is almost 50 years newer than the Miller's Falls mortising machine that can still utilize this distinctive wood bit. |
| Notice the two circular indentations for securing this type of bit in a mortising machine. |
| 82500T3 | Mortising machine | bio | photo | LPC |
| Cast iron, signed M.F.Co. Millers Falls Mass, ca. 1885. |
| Prototypical mortising machine of the late 19th century. Used in shipyards and for barn building to cut the mortise for |
| tenons. This tool dates from before the age of electric powered hand tools. |
| 111001T28 | Nail holder | DTM |
| Drop forged iron, 6" long, signed "Williams Nail Holder & Guide Patent 1688446". |
| A very uncommon tool. DATM (Nelson 1999) notes Williams only as a maker of lemon squeezes and rules, no mention of |
| nail holders. |
| 30202T9 | Pattern | DTM |
| Cast steel, 5" long base, 1 1/2" wide at top, 2 3/4" wide at bottom, 5/8" high, marked "5". |
| The pattern is superimposed on the base. It appears to be a one piece steel casting of unknown use. |
| 31501T4 | Peen adz | DTM |
| Cast steel, 33" long, 4 3/4" wide blade, signed "A DRAUDAY" or "A DRAUBAY" "PAT JUNE 8, 1875" (?). |
| No such maker is listed in DATM (Nelson 1999). This adz has a very distinctive fitted peen and handle ferrule. The ferrule |
| attachment, which protects the wooden handle, is 8" long and is fitted over the adz peen. |

| touchmark. |
| Shank needle gouge. |
| 121600T4 | Lifter | DTM |
| Cast steel, 11" long, signed "Monk". |
| This is a patternmaker's smoothing tool used in cleaning and finishing the bottom and sides of deep narrow openings in molds |
| used in foundry work. See page 18 of "Founders Work" by Stimpson, Gray and Grennan. DATM (Nelson 1999) lists a Monk |
| as a maker of molder's tools, ca. 1894, location unknown. |
| 30202T14 | Patternmaker's burnisher | photo | DTM |
