I had wanted to post some pictures of the "facer" in its different forms, but it turned out that there were too many for a posting of reasonable length. So I've put them in a page which is a kind of "gallery" of pictures of punchcutter's tools. Direct link:

(This "gallery" is far from complete, but it does also show a Benton lever-style depth gauge and a point micrometer; these might be of interest. I think they're pretty cool.)
