Vintage General Hardware Mfg. No. 10 Washer Cutter – FREE SHIPPING (#900-504) Click images to enlarge Description Offered is a vintage “General Hardware Manufacturing Company No. 10 Washer Cutter”. It was used in a hand bit brace drill to cut round washers/gaskets out of leather (or cork, rubber, graphite, asbestos, etc.). It should have two separately adjustable cutting spurs (this one is missing one of the cutting spurs). It has a brass scale to allow setting it to cut washers out of the selected material.  Has a spring-loaded center point and thumb screws on the cutting spurs to set the distances.  General Hardware Manufacturing Company was founded by Abe and Lillian Rosenberg in New York City in 1922. General Tools & Instruments as it is now called, began as General Hardware. In its inaugural year, General Hardware introduced what was then a revolutionary specialty item: the egg slicer. In its early days, the company developed numerous other “hard goods,” offering a full-range of domestic and professional items from clothesline pulleys and screen-door hardware, to specialty hand tools. With Lillian running the store, Abe took to the roads of New York and New England, searching for machine shops to manufacture his tools. By 1930, he had outsourced a small line of specialty items, including circle cutters, metal punches and pocket screwdrivers. By 1937, Abe and Lillian were selling their products exclusively at General Hardware. Dimension/size – this cutter is about 6 ¼” by 5 ¾” by 5/8”. It weighs almost 11 ounces. Condition – this cutter is in good condition but is missing one of the cutting spurs. As seen in the photos, there is some rust in the spring assembly and blue paint on the square ends.

About Us The Amazing Grace on eBay store was opened to assist us in selling the rather extensive estate of a friend’s mother that we have “inherited”. Sally collected a variety of things for many years and 95% of the over 1,200 treasures have been in storage for the last 20 years or more. From depression glass to Asian porcelain and carvings to Native American turquiose & silver jewelry, Sally was a very accomplished collector and even had numerous reference books that accompanied her collections. We fully understand that in order to sell this vast estate we must offer excellent customer service and fair prices in order to earn repeat customers. Our goal is to make sure each and every customer has a positive buying experience and is completely satisfied. While not experts by any means, we will do our best to fully and accurately describe our offerings. We expend a great deal of effort in researching each piece to insure an accurate description and your satisfaction is our highest priority.
