Washer cutter

Washer cutter with wooden cross-handle, overall height 18.5cm. Stamped THURINGIA. Washer cutters were mainly used by wheelwrights for cutting out leather washers to fit on the axles of carriages between the axle box and the shoulder of the axle, for quietness and to keep the oil in. This model is for use by hand, unlike some washer cutters which would be used along with a drill. Thuringia is an administrative region in central Germany.
