View Larger Image   Armstrong Pipe/Standard Die Set w/Box Threader Wrench   Description: This is a nice antique set of pipe thread cutting dies, and some standard thread dies also, including the threader in the rare smallest No. 1 smaller size on good++ useable condition overall. It includes 10 sets of adjustable dies that all fit the die wrench including this sizes in pipe dies; 1/8", 1/4" x (2), & 3/8", dies, each has a custum size guide ring that keeps the pipe or stock running true or square to the dies while threading. The standard thread dies are as follows: 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-14, 7/16-14, 1/2-13, 5/8-11, 3/4-10. Also included is two pipe handles for the threader (each are 7.0" long), one wrench, (for the bolts on the die wrench, and 9 different sized ring guides (sized to fit each die set). These die inserts are in good condition, but show wear, one of the 1/4" dies has small chips in a critical area, will be good for chasing threads, but most likely would not cut threads, the rest will cut new threads (included is 2 set, this size, so one set is in much better condition). Replacement dies for this size may be hard to find, as they are smaller in size than the much more common No. 2 size. The No. 1 dies in this set fit into a slot that is only 1" wide. The threader is marked "F. ARMSTRONG BRIDGEPORT CT. 1" MADE IN U.S.A." and is in very good condition with some oil residue, but generally very clean, nice quality casting, and a unique pair of hearts cast into the wrench head near the name. The dies have good thread leads and cutting areas, but they show there age and show signs of being a bit brital as there are small chips off most of them, still useable, the chips are mostly on the back end or on the opposite side of the lead threads. These are the adjustable size type dies, that will allow the user to vary the size by about 1/32" to fit pipe to close tolarances. The threader casting alone is 6.5" long overall without the handles, they are 7.5" long overall each, all in very good shape, good threads. The box is one of the nicest we have seen, lap jointed in the corner, made of oak, has a darkened natural finish on it, good stong, well attached hinge wires, There is one stamped marking on the end of the outside of the bottom (end label) of the box that reads, "GENUINE ARMSTRONG NO. 1 1/4 to 3/4 BRIDGEPORT CONN MADE IN U.S.A.", plus there is a inside label press into the inside top of the box. The latch is in good shape. The top lid is oak, and in good++ condition, not cracked, minimal warpage. All appears original, some small dings, mostly minor considering the environment this tool was used in. The box is 3.0 x 6.3 x 15.75". A nice old, small set F. Armstrong Mfg. Co. was in business from 1875-1922 according to research. A rarely seen example of their quality small size pipe threading set! This is one of the few we have seen in the No. 1 size with the standard threads, these are almost alway pipe threaders, so this is a very rare antique set overall!     Contact:   Great Expectations Antiques Seller:   Dealer/Mall    View Seller's Policy Seller Accepts:   We accept VISA, MASTER CARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, PAYPAL, CASH, US POST OFFICE POSTAL MONEY ORDERS ONLY (ALL OTHER MONEY ORDERS WILL BE RETURNED), AND PERSONAL CHECKS.
