that's what i thought too. "no way that's a tanning vat". wow. people in the old days were tough huh?
b.w.
1897 - Fish finder
1898 - Early version of a Leatherman?
1899 - Handheld tape gun for wetted paper tape.
1900 - Weather vane spike for a large tower?
1901 - Final resting place for the "bad visitors"?
1902 - Some type of bench dog?
Just a guess but maybe some of the process took place outdoors and the less obnoxious steps used the indoor pit.
