Patrick WallinWhat's this ? Reposted 08.09.13
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.

Jack MarshPatrick, I'm very Glad you're back !

Edward L. Parsons, Jr.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.
Best Regards,
Ed

Patrick WallinThanks 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.....

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

David AbbeMartin 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!!!

Patrick WallinDavid,
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

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