 NYE CREASER (FLICKR)
 
 | 
| 
| Description: |  | The gauge post remains centered in the opening between the jaws, which allows the cartridge to be positioned without touching either jaw prior to the "creasing" operation. This tool makes a crease to position the "wad" between powder and shot, and rolls the end of a cardboard shotgun shell over a cardboard end cap. 
A known example is marked only with the patent date. |  |
