I just posted a couple pics to the dropbox

Loganplate.jpg is a flat steel plate, about 9" diameter, and 3/16" thick. it has a number of accurate holes bored in various places. It has an arrow stamped in the face, along with a number. it resembles an index plate, but I don't think that's what it is. Anyone?

QCToolholder.jpg is (surp4rise!) a QC toolholder of a type I don't recognize. Rather than dovetails this one has straight-sided slots where it slides down on the toolpost block. This happens to be a parting tool holder. I'd like to identify it so I can sell or swap it for something I need.

Thanks for the help

I think the plate is a special purpose faceplate someone made at sometime for a particular project. Perhaps for use with toolmakers's buttons. The toolholder isn't that surprising. I have seen a qc that used movable gib-type objects in a regular t-slot type shape. Maybe someone else has the qc toolholder that it fits to.

Could be, but it looks factory, not shop-made. The numbers and the arrow are machined, not stamped.

The toolholder isn't that surprising. I have seen a qc that

I need to find that someone and complete his set :)
