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. Please review all high-resolution photos for exact condition details.
