Antique Steel Alphabet Punch Set

Antique Steel Alphabet Punch Set. In fabulous condition. Has the name Emil Moeckel stamped on the wooden box lid. In researching this name, I came across an inventor from Germany who filed a patent in the United States for a Playing Card cleaning machine. This set of punch tools came from a close friend, who's mother was German and immigrated to the USA after the war. I don't know if there is a connection, but it does titillate the imagnination, doesn't it? Quite heavy.
