Old time cylinder hone

[steve from staten island]

How cool is this
Judging by pictures this hone is from 1920’s
Price on box says $40. Which was a lot of money back than. That’s good old American tooling

I have a Sunnen Boring tool like that. I bought it at an auction and the old boy selling said his Dad used it with Model T's.
He used a 3/4 drill suspended from a tree branch to hold the weight. He could move it up and down easier with the branch assist.
I used it to hone a motor and the fool thing took a lot more material than I had planned.
