That is a fascinating piece of craftsmanship ausjulius, thanks for sharing it with us! Think of the time someone must have spent creating it........

Question: what do you suppose this tool is?

[Grant Lamontagne]

That looks lik ethe telecommunications tool we saw on some of the other tools!  The Russians must have been WAY more advanced than the Yanks!

That is exactly what I was thinking! A 1930's version of the "mecto ynopa" we looked at a couple months ago.

Few people know that the internet was alive and well in the early 30's in Russia.  The only problem was that no one had computers to access it!

I thought Al Gore was the father of the Internet?! Damnit, it's all lies, lies, lies!

The only thing Al Gore invented was Manbearpig...

That is an interesting and beautiful looking tool.  It would be nice to see how that tool compared to a modern multi, both in to days world and its 'native' time.

I'm working to spread Manbearpig awareness.

  "mecto ynopa"   
Место упора  , it would be written as "measto oupora"  measto is a place , and oupora is a emphasis.. so place of emphasis, or point of force,
this does look just like the tool that was on here some months ago, thats why i put it up here, ive never seen anythign quite like it,

in soviet russia you dont access the internet the internet access you !      couldnt help that one :d..

I love Yakov Smirnoff's stuff!

Even funnier when typed with a Russian accent too!

THEORY:  At least, from the lion drawing, it may be a possible import from mMongolia/northern china.  or constructed on the russian side of the border(due to the cross-cultural influences of the time)

According to this classic Snickers commercial he also invented pants.
