here is a spoke wrench I found... its stamped " JC Johnson Menominee, Mi. Oct. 3 1899 " ... I looked up the patent number and it said JC Johnson was one of two assignee's ... under " Manufacturer ".... it states : not known to have been produced ..

Very interesting old stuff here! I really miss my old "Little Brute" Fork Straightener Jack from when I worked at a Bike Shop in the 70's !!
And then there is this mysterious Old Bike shop tool at anOld Bike Shop in Atlanta ........
Is SEEMS to be a chain pin tool ..... (and I've been using misc. chain tools for over 40 years) BUT it doesn't seem to work like a normal chain tool.
And then there are "pincher" like teeth on the side which is hard to see in these pictures ........
I'd love to hear that somebody recognizes that thing and explains how it works !!
Cheers ! CCR Dave
