Message:: [QUOTE="Kyle Myers, post: 1205802, member: 12838"]I found this at my grandparents house, but haven't been able to find an answer online. So, I'm coming to the experts! There are 2 markings on the tool that say (I think anyway), "The Bow" or "The Row" or "The Zow". The other side looks to be a patent date that says "Pat.Apr.19.1870". I dug through the <a href="http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=0&f=S&l=50&d=PALL&Query=ISD%2F18700419" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.htm&r=0&f=S&l=50&d=PALL&Query=ISD%2F18700419" rel="nofollow">US patents for that date</a> but came up empty after opening all 257 results. The piece towards the bottom does take some force to open it wider, but more closed is its natural resting position. Anyway, here's to hoping!<img src="https://i.imgur.com/zsTZxG7.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/YH7N4qG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/nf9Wt7q.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://imgur.com/mfQ7ksP.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
