Flute maker's stamp, with lead handle for producing impression of 'T. .Lot', by James Watt, Glasgow, 1758-1769
This rather rough-looking punch, found among Watt’s tools, is marked ‘T Lot’, a celebrated French flute-maker who supplied the king. Did Watt use the punch to mark his own flutes and sell them at a higher price?
