1. Marked JB watch brands. The big blade is cut on the end like a case back opener and the two little blades are graduated tips. It has a lanyard hole for your keychain or watch fob. 2 to 6. I think these are part of a set and something to do with the balance train. Each one of the pieces 3-5 have a different size bottom. The long handled annealing tool is thick, hollow and the top is held on by screws. It makes it like a little oven. The handle is spring loaded and twists to fit in little grooves in the head of the tool. This does not seem to do anything yet nothing appears to be broken. 7. This one has me dumbfounded. It’s got two round posts on one end and is ground in half length wise. The other end has little tits as if it is to fit in something. It is adjustable 0 to 2.5 mm. 8 to 12. These 5 little guys, made by K&D almost look like a MS push in tool. The barrel on the end screws up and down about ½ inch and the small all end is a plunger. | ||

ID 3 13. Elgin tool with a metal rod protruding from one end ground half off, lengthwise, Looks like a D or shaped like a roller jewel. The other end is the same except for it is clear, see through plastic. 14. May not even be a watchmakers tool, but the little wheel is serrated and other end is a dull point. 15. Not a very good photo of 15 but it’s a locking prier, spring loaded for open and has a row of progressively diminishing holes and then looks like three wires stripers in the tip. There are no markings. 16. The tip on the left screws off and there is a little piston with a groove in it. The hole you see in the tip goes all the way through but is a different shape on the other side. 17. I’m almost positive this is a Roller table remover. The jaws are adjustable and highly polished and the handle pushes the little center pin down and has a bumper stop that is adjustable and they are stamped K&D. They are is new condition | |||

1. JB Watchbands, tool is for removing case backs, watch straps and pushing spring bar pins. 2. Looks like another form of bolt tool, used for polishing screws and other parts, a rare style. 3,4,5. Set of Boynton's (probably) escapement matching and depthing tools, usually used on full plate 18 size watches, to allow observation of the escapement action. These are clamped on the top plate as necessary, and take place of the jewels in the bottom or pillar plate so it's not in the way of viewing the action. (see photo) 6. Another bolt tool used for polishing screw heads and other parts. 7. (as already mentioned) case opening wrench 8-12. (as mentioned) Adjustable mainspring winders 13. Elgin sapphire tipped burnisher, 2 different grits. End that appears to be metal is the rougher grit and is probably just dirty but should also be sapphire unless it was replaced. 14. Not sure, may be a jewelers tool. 15. Sliding tongs or hand vise. This one used to hold round objects while filing, polishing, etc. 16. Not sure, can't see the detail, may not be a watchmakers tool. Maybe a wire bender or holder? It appears to have writing on it, what is marked on it? 17. Roller and hand remover. Different sized tips should be contained in the handle compartment. | |||
