Re: whats this ?
It has been 35 years since I used one but it looks the same as the one i used for making bicycle chains

Re: whats this ?
Don't do that, just give it to the first kid you see on a bike and explain what it is. You'll be "That cool guy" in his eyes.

Re: whats this ?
+1. I remember painting a bicycle frame at age 12. A 1965 schwinn varsity, and the only components I couldn't figure out how to remove from the frame were the kickstand and the chain. Both were wrapped in masking tape for the job. I'd have been thrilled if I had a chain tool at that point.

Re: whats this ?
Every bicycle I had the chain had a master link.. Even my 1960 Cushman Eagle has one on the chain.. The only chain driven "vehicles" I ever saw that didn't have a master link in the chain were racing karts.. And the name of that tool you have is a Chain Break..

Re: whats this ?
When I was a kid of around 11 -12 years old I fixed my own bike chains ,, I had a master link and I would take links out or add them depending what bike I was working on.. I had 4 bikes at the same time .. I was the street dealer on bikes in the old sawmill town I lived in where my dad worked at the mill.. lived in company houses . would lay the bike on its side and install the chain in and around the frame and use a old chunk of rail road piece my dad had and put the link together and hammer the pins with a hammer on the out side of the link side to keep them together.. then loosen the rear wheel up from the frame and install the chain and then slide the wheel back to tighten the chain .. been many a years since I did this.. I never had the tool shown above ,,can not remember ever seeing one .. it would of been usefull in my younger days .

Re: whats this ?
I've got a couple of these new-in-box in the shop somewhere (I rebuild vintage bikes)
Curious what other brackets and fasteners you may've scored but don't recognize. Some of my best scores have been grab bags.

Re: whats this ?
No worries, probably wouldn't be worth it to ship stuff down here from BC anyway. I've seen some really rare/weird stuff in bulk buys.

On the flipside, I've watched vintage race and touring bikes take a nosedive in value these last 3-5 years, ever since rent-a-bikes and motorized scooter rentals picked up in major urban cities. Vintage racing/touring bikes have been my bread-and-butter the last decade-plus, where most of my slush fund was sourced. It's taking me weeks to sell at 20-30% less nowadays versus bikes selling within hours a few years ago.

I have noticed that. SOme of the Diamondbacks I have seen advertised for 3-8 grand which is crazy. Even my mongoose in rough condition is averaging 800-1100 bucks. Mine is in kinda rough shape but still very restorable. That will be for my grandson to decide but I probably wont give it to him until he is able to appreciate it for what it is.

We coveted these things when were younger, I always wanted a mid-80s Skyway Street Beat so I'd kinda kill for a nice one now due to the nostalgia of looking at them over and over again in BMX and freestyle magazines back then drooling over it. Kids just don't seem to be there these days, and comparable styles of bikes are lighter/more optimized/easier now (for single speed and BMX bikes at least, not the case for race/tour stuff). Majority of my sales on 1950s-1980s read/touring bikes are people who "had one of these when I was younger" and there's an occasional hipster or two trying to fit an image buying it. Those buying for nostalgia respects it for what it is because it was the new-new and awesome thing "back in my day".
