Thomas Mfg. Co. Antique Multi-Tool Pliers

Unavailable

This is a unique patented (1902) multi-tool featuring a bottle (church key) opener, pliers, folding knife, screwdriver, nut cracker, and corkscrew.  There is one more feature that I am not sure of, the slot next to the screwdriver.  I believe that slot was to push the old canned ham can lid opener so you could use the slot to put the tab into and twist the opener off the can, making this possibly a can operner also.  The pliers are on an adjustable slide, so they can open wide to open a jelly jar or similar application.  This tool is all steel, all in good shape, not rusty, bent or damaged, good joints and jaw grippers.  This unique antique tool is also marked "THE THOMAS MFG. CO. DAYTON OH U.S.A.  PAT. FEB.11.1902". on the bottle opener arm.  We've never seen one of these before, most likely a rare tool!
