I have been looking for one of these for a while now and finally got one. I spent most of the day doing some light restoration on this beautiful antique with the intention of finally having a good tuck cutter and rolling board.
I sat down to use it and realized that this is meant for a smaller ring gauge then I plan to roll. It works great, functions fine and the restorations I did really to clean off the age in corrosion that was preventing it from working properly. Unfortunately I'm probably not going to keep it and have to pass it along.

I am no expert. I see a "July 1905" on it, but i am not sure this is the date of manufacture.

Side note, I have been using this cutter regularly. I just learned that I have to control the cutter depth myself to prevent the hub of the star from crushing the foot.
