Rare Antique 10.5″ Hand-Forged Wing Compass / Dividers – Stamped “P S (Peter Stubs, Warrington)? An exceptional, large-scale late 18th / early 19th-century hand-forged wing divider attributed to the renowned English toolmaker Peter Stubs (Warrington, established 1773). This large 10.5-inch example features the early stamped initials “P” on one leg and “S” on the other, applied during forge work. Large 18th-century dividers from Stubs of this scale are far scarcer than standard bench-sized tools. Key Details & Dimensions:? Total Length: 10.5 Inches (26.5 cm) from pivot hinge to tips. Maximum Span: Opens up to an impressive 14 Inches (35.5 cm). Construction: Hand-beaten wrought iron with a peened pivot joint, curved quadrant locking wing arc, straight scribe tips, and original thumbscrew. Markings: Distinctly hand-stamped “P” and “S” on the upper legs. Condition Report: Authentic antique condition with a dark, aged patina and light surface weathering consistent with 200+ years of age. The joint holds firm, the wing nut locks down tightly, and the scribing points remain in sound condition. No cracks, major pitting, or modern repairs.
