Richard and GG's

Please patiently await further photos because _I conformed to the Galoot Code
and bought this probably-never-to-be-used tool from the old gentleman!!!_

There are several details which don't show in my previous photos! Among other
things, the metal cap on the back has knurled sides, suggesting that perhaps it
unscrews!

The adjustable brass "stop" remains a puzzle.

I'll try to get views from several directions without strong shadows.

And the old gent, with whom I've been transacting flea market business for at
least 20 years, gave me some good news.  He'll be back in November. It's just an
extended trip, not permanent absence! :)
