QR Code Link to This Post
For sale is an authentic antique watchmaker staking tool anvil block and pivot truing plate. This solid, hardened steel bench block was a foundational component of turn-of-the-century horological staking sets, serving as an adjustable multi-hole backing template for microscopic repair work.
Features & Details:
• Graduated Multi-Hole Grid: Features two rows of precision-bored holes ranging from micro-pivoting widths up to larger pocket watch component clearance sizes.
• Integrated Keyhole Slots: Includes elongated relief slots designed to accommodate watch wheels with protruding center staffs so the plate can support them completely flat from underneath.
• Serrated End Alignment Notches: Milled with specialized comb-style tooth notches on both ends to anchor or check small wheel assemblies and steel wire profiles.
• Premium Hardened Tool Steel: Crafted from heavy, high-grade tempered steel to withstand precision hammering from staking set punches without denting.
Perfect as a replacement plate for a vintage Kendrick & Davis (K&D), Moseley, or Boley staking frame outfit, or as a standalone bench block for micro-machining and hobby model restoration.
