According to the seller’s information, the set is of Swiss\/German origin and retains its original stepped wooden tray.\n\nThe cutters are mounted on individual steel shafts and carefully arranged in the case. These cutters were used with a rounding-up machine to refine the tooth profiles of watch and clock wheels. Matching cutters are an important part of making such a machine usable.\n\nA particularly interesting detail is the group of six delicate loose guide pins displayed in front of the case, described by the seller as L-shaped guide fingers or guides. According to the supplied information, these helped guide the wheel tooth by tooth during cutting.\n\nThe wooden case has a characterful, timeworn appearance and two fastening hooks on the front, described by the seller as the original brass hooks. An appealing ensemble for a collection of historical horological tools.\n\nDetails:\n• Designation: Topping Tool Cutters Set \/ Fraises pour Outil à Arrondir.\n• Attributed origin: Switzerland\/Germany; maker and exact date have not been established.\n• Includes the wooden storage case and the loose guide pins shown in the photographs.\n• Approximate dimensions: 16 × 10 × 8 cm.\n• Weight: 375 grams.\n• Signs of age and use are present; please examine the photographs for the visible condition.\n\nCompleteness, working condition, and compatibility with a particular machine have not been established.
