  2. Great!, Thanks for the answer. I had to go to your link to see how a blotter is used.. Will now pull out my old fountain pens.. patchas
  3. Because the brackets are padded, maybe it is designed to hold glass. My fist thought is it is for holding chemistry glassware, however the handle on top does not look utilitarian as would lab equipment.
  4. picture on the lef is an adjustable wrench, with a hammer built in. the second picture is a ball peen hammer. the 3 rd picture is a pipe cutter. The 4th picture is a combination wrench, probably used ...
  5. check this e-bay page for New Way valve seat cutters. https://www.ebay.com/i/123109525002?chn=ps
  6. the cutters with the steeper angle are for narrowing the valve seats after cutting the 45 degree angle. for the valve face seat.

  10. Just a guess, Possibly used for adjusting valve tappets on a flathead engine..
  11. Looks like a pin punch with holding fixture to protect against smashed fingers.
  12. Looks like a motor belt tension adjuster. a carriage bolt would fit in the grove and another in the single hole on the other end. Possible a pedestal grinder tool rest adjuster bracket.
  13. Uses a "Collet" to grip the inside of ?? to then turn what ever it is griping. Not much leverage can be exerted to turn though.. Hand tight / loosen only. possibly a piston pin extractor.
  14. I have one just like it, Works perfectly on redi mix cement truck discharge chutes....
  15. It almost looks like a cooking utensil for cooking a steak over fire.. Stab the steak thru the side, squeeze against the ring and lock in position. ( I would wash it after catching gophers though.)
  16. It looks like it would work to stretch Barbed wire around a end post..
  17. sink bracket..

  24. Soap dish for old bath tub?
  25. looks like some kind of hoof tester..
  26. Many "Thanks", have lost sleep on that one.. I think I will give it to my wife for her birthday.

  30. Maybe to keep a calf from nursing., wild guess.
  31. Yes, I imagine it could be used as a handle, Just wouldn't want to load too heavy as it is only brass. Thanks, patchas
  32. Kit bag ? duffel bag? are they still used? I will now use it in place of the draw string on mine. Thnks, patchas
