<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 105534, member: 54"]You may have better luck finding an "earliest" date for the thumbscrews with what some are calling a heart-shaped end. These were separate hardware items the maker bought in bulk to put in his product, and their invention or patent date can probably be found. They are kind of interesting in that they are made out of only one piece of round-stock steel and represent a manufacturing advance over predecessors made from two pieces and the kind with a large flat paddle-shape on the end for fingers to grip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
