SPIKED WHISKER. STEEL. SECOND HALF S.XIX

Description:
A moustache box with points from the second half of the 19th century. It probably belonged to a compass box. It is made up of two pieces. Handle and body of points. The handle is made of a white metal alloy. It is knurled to improve the grip. It is fixed to the point body by means of a bolt embedded in the head of the body. The steel body has rigid legs with the tips unified in one piece. The opening of the moustache, i.e. the distance between the legs of the tips, is adjusted by means of a wheel which is screwed onto a regulating screw, which passes freely through one leg and is fixed to the opposite leg by means of a micro bolt, which allows it to be rotated. This distance is the one that allows to maintain a fixed distance for its transfer. The tips are in good condition. They have some rust and dirt.
Very interesting as a collector's item. It would be advisable to clean it, and to treat the rust, which would improve its appearance considerably, and would revalue the piece very considerably.

The piece presents the wear and tear of its time, as well as some stains. It has small flaws. The information provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
