What is it? Set 423

[Rob H.]

I need some help on the second one this week:

[Dennis]

2454 Variety of brick bolsters / chisels. Used to cut/shape bricks and chisel out mortar between bricks.

[Bill]

#2449 A honey dipper/ladle? #2450 Clasp for a a gate?

[Bill]

Is it cheating to go searching? If not, I found a picture and brief description of #2452 here:

[kfvorwerk]

2454. Ship and or boat caulking irons. About half way down this page.

"Rob H." scribbled:

2250 - almost looks like the hook latch on the back of a moving van that holds the garage door (for lack of a better term) closed.

[DoN. Nichols]

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

2449) Does it have bearings so the grooved object will rotate freely on the handle?

If so, it might be for guiding running ropes onto the proper pulley.

2450) A release probably for two ropes (lines) or perhaps chains in lifting or load binding. The upper chain is through the eye, and the hook on the lower fits through an eye on a lower line, or a link in the chain. The projection to the right is to balance it so if the line goes slack for a moment, it won't release. 2451) Perhaps the cap to a burial enclosure (to hold the coffin and protect from underground critters), though it is a bit small for holding a full sized coffin. 2452) Perhaps one of the rings holding a military rifle of some age together? 2453) Perhaps for scooping grain -- and for opening a container using the notch shown in the second photo? 2454) Chisels for stonecarving?

Now to post this (somewhat late -- I was completing a project) and then see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.

Beat me to it.

2450 looks something like an antique chest latch, but larger and cruder. I does look like it was meant to latch something that opens vertically or that slides. The large hole makes me think it was meant to go on the base of a knob.

I was having trouble with the kinematics of this as a latch, because I was thinking of the square thing near the 3.25 inch mark as a pivot. But, if as anorton says, the thing pivots about the large hole, then it makes sense. The square thing might be decorative or a detent bump.

[Stormin Mormon]

2449 honey server, for people who love BIG cups of coffee 2450, you posted something like this, years ago. The hole slips over an index or other finger, and the hook is used to move threads on a loom. 2451 Herman Munster's paint roller tray. d'uh!! 2452, an early holder for "tacky finger" or other secretarial product. 2453 used in doing plaster bandage, such as a doctor would use. 2454. These are used by stone cutters. How much would you pay for this set? 149.99? No! Not that much. How about $119.99? No, not that much! And we'll even throw in the tomato slicer, and the onion dicer, for no extra charge. And now, how much would you pay for this?

Anyone not on broadband would probably watch those pics load until tomorrow.

5616 x 3744 ?

[Sonny]

2453 - River Side Manufacturing Co., in Murfreesboro, NC, is a basket making company. It would seem to be a tool for weaving baskets. If it has a specific weaving use, I wouldn't know what that is.

[Stormin Mormon]

Thanks, saw it that time. Ring to pull out the shells from the reloader.
