2867 is a burr from a coffee mill -- one of the higher-speed commercial mills, like you see in grocery stores. (I have a stack of them, which we use for grinding chemicals, so I'm not guessing)

2863 - Jeweler's ring mandrel

2866- Bottle opener

2868 - Barrel cover for an artillery piece

[Ed Huntress]

2867 - looks like the spiral-bevel driven gear for a small angle-head hand tool, such as an angle-head drill motor.

It certainly could be. There are very few differences between a plain burr and a gear, except where it's used.

I said I was sure -- wasn't guessing. Now you have me wondering if I shouln't have jumped on it so quickly!

[Ed Huntress]

Don't wonder. After posting my suggestion I read yours and slapped my head..."of course, dummy," says I to myself.

So now we've sown doubt in each other. d8-)

2864 makes me think of a worn/tumbled/eroded galena crystal.

2867 Spice grinder/pepper mill burr

[Leon]

Is that your "final" guess? :~) I think I would agree with you that does look like you said.

[Leon]

2864. I going to guess one of thousands used to polish raw castings.

2865. With the handle being approximately 10" long the triangular piece is used to do things that require a triangular shaped object. The symmetrical shape from one side to the other aids in implementing the required action to complete the task of doing something with the triangular shaped piece. Ok, I'll stop now. ;~)

[Leon]

Actually I think I have seen something similar used to skin an animal.

Going back a couple of weeks - the blade looks like it could be a knife from a sickle bar, possibly one which has been replaced, which is fitted into a homemade handle.

[Ralph]

2865 Is a knife to cut the twine on corn bundles when feeding it into a corn shredder. I used one like that 60 years ago.

[Ralph]

Yes it was a section used on sickles. Very likely a home made tool.

[Steve W.]

2863 -

2864 - Looks like an old musket ball.

2865 - Home made stalk/cane cutter. Made quite a few for folks. Not sure if they were sold commercially or not.

2866 -

2867 - Portable grain/coffee mill burr.

2868 -

Sounds like a good answer, I did a quick search and couldn't find one like it but hopefully will by tomorrow.

Thanks, Rob
