Lindsay graver handle?
« on: August 26, 2012, 08:31:48 PM »
What have I got here?  It has "Lindsay" embossed on the top of the handle.  There's no fitting that I can see for attaching an air hose, but the cylinder is spring loaded.  Is this one of Lindsay's early air graver handles?

I've got one identical to that and have showed it to several people who have had no idea what it was.  A couple guessed it was a brad or pin setter.

I'd be curious to know what it is too.  J.D.
