Cutter for sealing wax? heat the blade over a candle, cut a thin slice from the stick and apply to the document and while it is still soft, imprint it with the owners mark. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

I'm thinking it's some sort of harness-maker's tool, but that's a WAG.
Or maybe for trimming up used candles?

You and me both!
They get some coverage in this site...

This one isn't for cutting anything.
Rob
Nope, it's something that was used around the house.
Rob
This one wasn't used on candles.

It's not for any type shoe at all. :-)

Thankyou ! It now has a name 8-)
Cheese cutter?

It's not used as a cutter.

I presume this refers to my comment about the Curtas (since you didn't quote any of the article at all, and I just followed the thread back).
Wanting one, and being willing to take $500 away from machine tool or photo or computer purchases is a different thing. :-)
Enjoy, DoN.
The Curta is mine. I have a tutorial pamphlet, but it assumes you already know the basics of how to use the thing. This is the first time I've seen a manual.
Now I can learn how to use it. Woo-hoo!
Scienctific America with 2004/2005 would also be useful. They have an article giving a very good analysis.
This site will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about your Curta, even how to take it apart and fix it.
