Seems to be complete. I just don't know what it is.
I can't make out the first letter of the name.

Ya, I'm back to some extent. The stroke left me dis-con-bluber ated. But now I have an excuse.
I still don't talk very good or have any coordination either. My handwriting went to **** in a hand basket too. But it's better than diapers.

So put that bucket up cause it ain't time to kick it yet!!!! Best Wishes, Tim

Welcome back Patrick! Glad to see you back!

Patrick, good to read your post(s) again. Martite is another name for Hematite. What are those little lumpy things in the vials?

Glad to see you back! I have no idea what that is though....

Patrick, dittos from me too! Looks like jewels in the vials

Glad you made it through you health problems.
Ironically This is an ashtray I own.

The good news is I'm 54 and never smoked.

Good to see you up and around again Patrick. Always enjoy your posts and comments. Keep healthy!

Best regards,
Michael

Patrick, I'm very Glad you're back !

It's good to see you back Patrick. The only uses for martite (hematite) I know of are as an iron ore (unlikely) or as an abrasive.

For example, jeweler's rouge is mainly pulverized hematite.

Here is a link to an Edgar W. Martin of Martin Copeland Company, Providence RI, which doesn't help a bit but they were in the jewelry manufacture business.

Welcome back Patrick.

Thanks all. It was quite a trip. At 70 I expect almost anything to happen, but if I come up pregnant I'll break a record.
BACK TO THE TOOL
The screwdriver thingy has a cup at the end and excepts the little thing in the bottles, They don't appear to be stones rather more like metal, cupped dishes, sort of remind me of rhinestones. The tool has to be for installing then, There is a bottle of silver and a bottle of gold thingy's.

Ed & Eugene your still young men.....

Patrick,

glad to see you posting!!

The item looks like a repair kit for the old wire rim, and rimless glasses. I've lost a few screws in my time!

Welcome back Patrick.

Martin Copeland Co. Made Eyeglasses and one abstract od a M.C.Co patent reads;

"An eyeglass construction in which the separate lenses thereof are directly attached to a laterally extending brow bar includes a pair of rearwardly extending threaded posts adapted to pass through spaced openings in the upper peripheral portion of each lens whereby the lenses and brow bar are affixed to each other by nuts engaging said threaded posts, said openings and posts extending substantially perpendicular to the rear plane of each lens. Each of the posts is adapted to extend through a spacing bushing disposed between the opposed lens and brow bar surfaces such that the lenses and the brow bar are spaced away from each other, thus providing clearance between the lens and the brow bar, even at the point of maximum curvature of the lens. The length of the bushings may be modified such that varying lens curvatures may be facilitated and still maintained out of contact with the brow bar."

So, I guess if you are and "Eyeglass Nut", you have found your tools and parts!!!

David,
No but the Gentleman I inherited these items from was a time lock specialist who had a shop in salt lake. He also was a locksmith and a optician so that would fit in. He started his shop in 1921 at age of 21 and attended the Elgin school. That shop existed for 81 years

Those look like pretty cool self locking eyeglass nuts and the VERY correct driver for them.
