Do you actually know what they are TP?

Big diameter handle to apply twisting force? No signs of hammering on the end. Rather craftsmanlike box. Inexpensive wood, finished nicely and a slightly iffy fitting (I assume it's not gold!). What cross section are the ends?

A set of craftsman's tools, possibly made as an apprentice piece/set? Dunno what for.

Bad links that never show the pictures in your posts?
Something wrong at your end I think, I have no problem seeing the pics.

Because when these were made, there were no "ordinary" screws....they would originally been made by a gunmaker to use on his guns.

At a guess:
Turn left in the left lane
Keep right to go straight ahead
If you do go straight, the right hand of two lanes is closed


It's not in the uk, where?

Main street in Limerick, in the process of being partly pedestrianised. And you are spot on with your guess, although I think a custom sign would give more clarity. Like yours :mrgreen:
