What is it? Set 445

[Rob H.]

Just posted a new set on the web site:

[Alexander Thesoso]

2581 I haven't seen this before, but, I think it is a coin counter.

[Lloyd E. Sponenburgh]

2581 coin Counter/stacker

2582 Terpentine bucket

2583 touch combination gun safe

2584 looks almost like a flax combing vise, but I've never seen one made of metal.

2582 Sand Bucket for fires.

2583 Cash Box. Combination entered by finger pressure.

2584 Vise for sharpening a saw.

2586 Spinarette for wrapping wire around a core.

[G.W. Ross]

The turpentine buckets we used had a flat side and a large wooden handle.

[Dave Balderstone]

2582: Maple sap collection pot?

2584: Portable sheet metal brake?

2583 Gun safe with finger identity lock. 2584 Saw setting Clamp

[Steve W.]

2581 - Coin counter.

2582 -

2583 - Gunvault pistol safe. Place your fingers in the slots, it reads your prints and opens. Key is a back-up release.

2584 - Saw vice. Used to hold the blade in place while you sharpen or set the teeth.

2585 - Buggy step. Used to provide a stepping point to enter or exit horse drawn buggies, also used on some early cars for the same purpose.

2586 - Looks like a nozzle of some type. Maybe for a fountain?

[Stormin Mormon]

2581. African phonograph, with stretched out lower lip. Or, maybe a coin sorter, or coil roller. 2582 early fire extinguisher. Kept filled with sand. 2583 "digital" gun safe. 2584 bench vise that clamps on the edge of a table. 2585 hair straightening iron from the 1800s. 2585 burner from a laboratory burner. Brass gas jets, and metal to hold the beaker of chemicals.

I saw one, once. Guy was sorting and counting coins from a vending machine. He set up on a table, in the store near the machine. I found it fascinating to watch.

[Stormin Mormon]

I was thinking of the fire pails, they used to use in retail stores. Now you mention sap pot, that makes more sense.

Well, others have guessed the others I thought I knew, but not 2586 which is a pin straightener for 7 pin miniature tubes. There are 8 holes so you don't need to worry about aligning the tube properly.

A quick google search found a collection:

BINGO! I had several! Damn! I forgot...

2582 does look like the red fire buckets filled with sand, but then why is there no handle? If you look on the web all of them have a handle. That one little hole does not look like it was meant to hold the weight of a bucket filled with sand.

Notice the blackening inside. My guess is this was a personal burn basket for getting rid of confidential documents before the era of shredders.

[Bruce L. Bergman (munged human]

It's Coca-Cola Red, or at least it was... I'll guess it's the cap catcher bucket for under the Bottle Opener of a Coke Machine.

It would hang from a screw on the side of the cooler. Blackening would be from residual phosphoric acid due to fizz-overs.

Now I a believe those who say it is a maple sap bucket. here is an example:

[Kenefick]

2581: Manual coin sorter / counter? 2582: Fire bucket? 2583: biometric safe? 2584: no idea, clamp of some sort? 2585: Pizzelle design maker? 2586: no idea

[DanG]

2581 Sharpening station of some type. Scalpels? 2582 Fire bucket made to hang on a nail 2584 Hand saw sharpening vise.

2585 Buggy or early auto step

Finally got the answers posted, the items were all correctly identified here in the newsgroups. When I was on the road I found some good stuff that I'll be looking forward to posting in the coming weeks, I need some help on at least a couple of them.
