You have some really cool Douk-Douks! Not too familiar with them, but I may have to do a little research cause they look very interesting every time I see someone post them.1950s Douk-Douk 'La Baraka'
This variation is pretty rare...The Cross of Agadez is inverted and underneath is engraved "La Baraka".
Most often found is the model "EL Baraka" with the Cross in the upright position.

I had to change a temperature controller on a wave soldering machine, so I brought my pioneer to work. The can opener worked really well for opening the controller to change the settings.

Have fun! You remind me ~ this is when the big northern pike move up our little tributary rive to spawn. Maybe I’ll get down there tomorrow.Heading to my hunting lease in an hour, going to spend a couple days scouting for turkey, zeroing a new-to-me 243 WIN, bass fishing in the farm pond, and catching a bit of the Shad run on the river. Mostly just there to unwind and relax. Got a Case 3318 and a Buck Folding Hunter with me (the rifle and a 44 as well!) OH
