Thread: Jaques LeCoultre question

So is that 'punch' hollow on the big end?

Most of those framebacks had the bladed wedged in really good and you needed something to get it out. That's my guess and that and $2.50 will get you on the NYC Subway.

Is that what the NYC Subway is up to now? Haven't been on it for over 40 years. Still have a few small tokens and a couple large ones.

Am thinking that is the remnants of the original screwdriver sans the wooden handle and with the blade broken-off?

That makes sense.

On that note I reground the screwdriver and installed a new deer antler handle.

I've seen a lot of Le Coultre kits and I've never seen one of those tools.

It's usually a small screwdriver with a wood handle. Didn't have any wood to fit so used antler. If the razor does not come with screwdriver how were buyers to change blades?
Most I have seen on the bay that are complete have the screwdriver.

There was a slot in the box for it!

The later models had a thumbscrew knurled like a watch crown, no screwdriver required!
