Agreed. I think Bev might be on the right track. I seem to recall seeing a 'something' run along a seam while a seamstress was working on a suit. It might have been a school trip demonstration. I was old enough to know about pressing seams and I must have seen the result of the seam opening out. It did have a handle on that sort of angle. It was used on wool suiting, and opened the inside of the seam down the middle. --- Rochelle Sutherland & Lachlan (9 yrs), Duncan (7 yrs) and Iain (6 yrs) www.houseofhadrian.com.au

I just checked out several webpages on plannishing hammers. They all refer to working metal with the hammer...and they usually have a flat surface, or just gently curved, to impact the metal surface. Bakelite would not have been the material of choice to work metal, and it's shaped wrong. I think we have to look elsewhere for the answer. Thanks to Terry for trying, though!!
