  2. dav2no1, Way to go! Mystery Solved! Once again this site proves invaluable for solving ,ysteries. THANKS!
  3. Thanks to all for the input. Have a great day!
  4. slackjack, thanks for the valuable information and input. Mystery solved. It's a pretty cool device. Too bad Studebaker is not around any longer, though they did have a pretty good run. Regards
  5. Hello sam66. Thanks for the note This was not near a beaver dam. it was in a wooded area. So far, the bow drill seems to be a common response.
  6. dav2no1 - thanks for the suggestion. This could be part of a bow drill That could make sense as the area has a history of early Native Americans and early French Explorers.
  7. Thanks to all for the clues. I thought this was some kind of special holder, but as PhilDMorris suggested, it appears to just be a Robot lamp - a cool one at that. Thanks again, Grayfur1

  9. Mystery Solved! This is a Soil Penetrometer. Used for soil testing for construction standards and other testing. Thanks all for the various suggestions
  10. Howdy bobby725, that's a good suggestion. Maybe a weight to attach to the underside center of a tripod to help it hold steady. I'll investigate that possibility Thanks G

  12. Mystery solved - Thanks Watchsearcher and Alleycat1 - that is what it is, a palm protector for sewing leather or sail canvas. Based on the other items that were in the box, it was probably used for re...

  16. Thanks all for the help. Yep, sure looks like that Bosch Starter Solenoid. Have a good weekend G
  17. Hello, sorry , we no longer have this item, but, do you know what it is? Regards J
  18. Thanks Riply206, now if I can just find out what part of the enlarger it is I'll know what I have. Regards
  19. Hello Riply206. Thanks again for more detail. I did find this reference to the Signograph. From th earticle, it sounds like the signograph was a machine that held several pens that would replicate the...
  20. Riply206, thanks for the information. Would it be safe to say this machine was made prior to 1915 as the tag indicates "SIGN-OGRAPH CO, (not INC). Or maybe they used some tags on hand after being inco...
  21. Hello Riply206, Thanks for the information, very much appreciated. I'll do some more research and report back with any additional findings
  22. Hello aghcollect. Yes, the machine slides back and forth on the rails. The rails also have wheels on the back side (not visible in the photo) that allow the rail and device to roll left & right
