The very first Penn International. Back before adjustable drag. Hell back before drag period. Whip it to your bamboo pole with rawhide strips and FISH ON!!!

Your on The Right track but NO ( Why )
And my first peen had a Pc of Raw Hide on the spreader br for a finger drag.  or was it a Ocean City Reel. And bamboo was not the choice it was CalCuta a form of BamBoo. A rare find today. saw it only on line.

ok 2 going on at one time, too confusing.

That means Time's Up on mine:
"The Morcellator" :
We make hundreds of these per day, a little pet project of mine. For Rx use only!!!

It's used in laparascopic procedures. Basically a surgical holesaw. Opposite the trigger is a flexible drive cable (like a speedometer cable) that powers it from an external motor drive. Inside the barrel is a rotating circular blade that extends and retracts to expose the whole blade or just a portion of it. There is a hole clear thru the blade. The surgeon inserts the barrel thru a trocar (port) into, say, your abdomen, thru a tiny incision. A long surgical needlenose pliers (forceps) goes thru the blade from the outside, grips the tissue to be morcellated and the surgeon draws out long strips from the back. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you say?

It is mostly used for laparascopic hysterectomies, where the entire uterus is removed thru a 1" incision.  Major improvements in surgical outcomes, healing times, reduced complications, etc.
 
That, and other devices like it, fill up my professional life WAY too full. 

[BigAl13]

Could you use it to make scallops

Ok But Why 

It was used to dry linen line so it didn't rot.  Also doubled as a holder for dryer sheets.

You are correct Warren.  "The Morcellator", very neat.  I think every home should have one.
