How could I resist him ?

He’s a lathe knurling tool made by Armstrong’s of Chicago in nineteen diddlydoo.
He’s been round the block a bit, but Is still a handsome devil, don’t you think ?
I bought him for a song from Peter, one of the last old-school stall holders in the enclosed market down the bottom end of Cheshire St, near the Repton Boys Boxing Club.
He will join my little menagerie of engineering playthings as soon as I’ve worked out how to mount him...
