And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm guessing it was an air impact gun before it was converted into a movie prop. I get it is still heavy. The top thingy has a light bulb fitting on the left side.
An Ingersoll-Rand air tool, maybe a sander/polisher, can't tell. Too slender for an impact wrench. A 2-C cell flashlight body with a glass screw-in fuse at the tail end, looks like a sink stopper at the head. A multi-stage pulley set from a drill press, held on with a bolt and compression spring on the end.
Steampunk prop masterpiece. Backwards flashlight sight, with screw in fuse front, attached with pipe clamp mount. Stack of metal lids, spring and washer muzzle. Full length threaded bolt, all mounted to an old air gun. All it needs is a gauge or two, and some battery-powered light bulbs along with power switch, and it's '50s sci-fi movie perfection.
Other than being manufactured by Ingersoll-Rand, ?????

ReplyDeleteAnd what looks like a good bit of a metal flashlight body comprising the tube
DeleteThat's an old glass screw-in fuse. Maybe before your time.
DeleteThat had to be heavy for whoever had to use it.

ReplyDeleteTom! Shouted Astro. Grab me the IR tool. I'll tighten the lead baffling on the atomic engines and we can save this ship. Stand by for Mars
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, I want one.
