Collection of six vintage engineering / machinist’s reamers, predominantly by Henry Rossell & Co Ltd of Sheffield, together with a Morse taper reducing sleeve.
A good group of genuine old British workshop cutting tools, including five Rossell Victory / Super Victory reamers and one Balfour Capital HSS spiral-fluted reamer.
The Rossell tools carry a mixture of Victory, Super Victory, HSS / High Speed and Henry Rossell & Co Ltd Sheffield markings.
The lot comprises:
* Rossell Super Victory HSS – long straight-fluted reamer, size marking appears to be 5/8” * Rossell Super Victory HSS – 5/8”, with extended/piloted end * Rossell Victory HSS – marked “16” and 11/16” * Henry Rossell & Co Ltd Sheffield Victory High Speed Super – 11/16” * Rossell Victory – 7/16” * Balfour Capital HSS – spiral-fluted reamer, numbers not clear * Morse taper reducing/adaptor sleeve, marked 2–3
The taper sleeve was found fitted to one of the Rossell tools and is included with the group.
These came together from an old mechanic/engineer’s toolbox containing a large quantity of period British and American engineering equipment.
A useful group for a machinist, model engineer, vintage-tool collector or anyone looking for traditional British-made workshop tooling.
