For those wondering, this tool is for splicing the ends of mechanical drive belts together. It sets the ends of the leather (or whatnot) belts with metal staples--"laces" that are then interlaced and locked with a thin metal rod. Hey presto, bull-tough drive belt.
Excellent video. Check out “Hand Tool Rescue”. He did a restoration on a Belt Lacing Tool like yours in October 2018. Maybe you can pick up some ideas from his video.
Its not together correctly the brass fingers should be meshed in front not back. Sorry it will never splice plus your missing the wire that holds the laces in the brass fingers. I own two models and use them.
Thank you for your feedback. I do though humbly disagree with your conclusion. As far as i can see there is no other way to assemble it, an it is assembled as the pictures and patents i have I seen. The wire pin or retention pin for the clips i do know is missing and you are correct about that 😀

Awesome restoration job. It looks much better. Great work.
Thank you ! I truly appreciate your feedback 😀
Actually used item very similar when working in a bowling alley as a mechanic repairing belts for pin distributor on a machine in the back
Thanks! I have one of those, with a lot of history I know of it!
Great restoration 👏👏
Thank you ! I truly appreciate your feedback 😀
Very good job. If you are still looking for a demonstration, Hand Tool Rescue did a similar restoration on his channel.
Thank you ! I truly appreciate your feedback 😀
I have also used one, spliced belts together using ⁵/¹⁶" diameter rawhide sticks.
McMaster-carr has everything you would need.

Where is the oil?😩
Down the handle hole, and through the small holes between the body and handle. And any other place with moving parts 😬
OK👍@@randomrepairandrestoration

This video has one. Could this be a "Clipper" brand ?

I have one like this
Molt lent, pesadissim. Ni un vídeo d'un rellotge d'altissima precisio es tant lent.
Cambia mestiere
eh gia, meglio il critico su yt .. da piu soddisfazione criticare chi prova a fare, che fare.
spiegaglielo tu come si fa un vero restauro, nel tuo canale e pieno di video di tutti i restauri che hai fatto.
anche padre pio ti darebbe ragione
