   That would be an antique shingle/shake nailer.

   Made by pearson. We have one that was my grandad's.

   Worth a couple of hundred dollars, but priceless to the owner.

   One for sale on EBay right now.

   If you oil it up, it will still work.

   It is a shake nailer. The other pictures are on e-bay. It takes loose nails and they fall into those slots and just slide down the channel to the striking head. No pneumatics and no springs on the nails. Just Gravity and a heavy tired set of hands. I'm sure it beat pulling every nail out of your pouch though.

   They had one of those in the "What is it?" section of a This Old House episode some time last year.

   How 'bout those shake/shingle nail trays I've seen guys that have them hanging at chest level. What are those called? Anyone use 'em?
