What is this Radius tool for?

I got this with a Radius stove some time back.

It's a handle for loose cleaning needle wires. It's called No.9082.
You pinch the wires under the little lever at the top, as you can see in this old topic where you also will see a link to a catalogue with this device.

 

… and those are rare! I have only seen one – once in Sweden.

 

Now we want to see the rest of the stove set as well

Thank you for the explanation. I'll have to see if I have pics of the stove, not a common model. One of the things on my bucket list, see distant relatives in Sweden.

A small envelope that came with the prickers is included in this picture. The envelopes came with 6 or 12 needles. Produced until the mid 1930s I think. The last example that I have with prickers of this type is from 1934. They were also in the 1932 catalogue. Relatively common among older items.

 

Never saw one. Great find.

 

Thank you all. I posted photos in the Stove Reference Gallery since none of the 22s there show one. It is next to 00 for size comparison. Thank you Northern Light for your post.

This tool looks like it would be very practical
and fairly easy to make. Wish I knew how.

 

I'll have to take a pic of it when it's unfolded, goes at a 90 degree angle.

It is already shown in my post above how it looks when unfolded.
A practical little tool. I have used one of mine for smaller wires to clean the two holes in carbide lamp burners.

 

Sorry, did not look back or remember. Bad on me.
Duane

 

Oh, that's entirely my fault. The pic wasn't there first, so nothing to apologize for on your behalf.
I added it a few hours after my initial post yesterday in order to clarify the operation of the needle handle for those who don't bother to click on attached links.
