I have something similar to this scoop and it's about 10 inches across. It's for scooping grain, corn, etc.
It looks like the one with the light wood handle is an adze blade and the other a pick like blade. The adze blade doesn't look sturdy enough to carve wood. Also the curved handle reminds me of Polynes...
Being that it was on a fire door and has that liquid filled capsule, I'd say its a heat sensitive release mechanism. When the capsule gets hot it melts or shatters and allows the two eyes to move rel...
I have one exactly like this and have seen the same cannon in an antique store. My research says they were made in Spain but I don't have a reference at hand. Rogerww
It looks like there are slots and holes for screws or bolts on a few of the flanges so there could be missing wood parts. Let us all know if you figure it out.
It looks like it could be a scraper without the blade. The tapered slot holds the blade with a wedge block like a block plane. Just a guess.
This is an engine valve lap tool. It's missing a rubber suction cup on the end of the shaft that holds the valve. Abrasive Lapping compound is placed between the valve and valve seat and the tool laps...
I was wrong earlier. It is a cork tool sharpener, found an advertisement for a more modern version.
I have one of these as stated earlier and have since studied it as a possible cork cutter sharpening tool. Bottom line , I don't think that's correct. I know something about metal working and the blad...
The fact that it's made out of brass tells me that it is used in an environment where iron or steel would rust, so it handles wet stuff.
It can't be for gunpowder because anything thing having to do with putting gunpowder in a weapon always does it in a measured way. You don't want to overload and blow yourself up. This could be for lo...
I saw these at an antique fair in Moss Landing, CA last weekend and the seller said they were harpoon tips. The shape seems right but they don't seem shape enough.
It is an ignition coil for an old engine. Model T Fords had something very similar.
I've got one of these as well and wondered what it was. Thanks for solving my mystery.
Thanks walksoftly, hard to argue with a patent; although it still seems like lousy design.
I saw one of these at an antique fair last weekend and it appeared to be much too flimsy to be a carpet stretcher. One end has multiply teeth like you might see on a carpet stretcher but the other has...
I have one of these and don't know what it is. When I bought it, the seller called it Button Tongs and had a picture and title with that name that looked like it came from the internet but I've not be...
