Antique Piano Tuning & Repair Tools
Piano Makers
Rosewood & Ivory Bow Drill
Both of these piano makers bow drills came from the same tool box along with
a number of other piano tuning tools I have listed elsewhere. I got
the lot of piano tuning tools, including several Rosewood Handle Tuning
Hammers / Wrenches in a trade for some nice bench planes.
One bow drill is marked H. S. & Co. for Hammacher Schlemmer. I see no maker marks on the other
which is not unusual. It is probably by one of the known New York piano tool and plane makers like Erlandsen,
Brandt, or the like. Both are very similar to each other noting the
difference in the shapes of the Rosewood handles.
The pads or bits shown fit either drill.
Drill pads usually got separated from their drills and it is unusual to find bow drills with them. I will include five (5) with the sale of each
or either drill. I also have one all wood bow (see last pic) that will be included with which ever bow drill sells first.

his is a # 1 Sure Death Small Animal / Rat Trap

He was granted a patent for the idea in 1912. In 1912 the # 2 & # 3 models,

early version marked Pat Apl'd For on the trigger arm.
