What is it? Set 435

[Rob H.]

I need help with the third item this week:

[Rob H.]

Here are a few more unidentified items that people have sent in to me, but for one reason or another never made it to the web site:

2524. Roll up saw. Karl

2522 Weird guess... Assuming the forged bars can pivot at the left strap... A snowshoe for a horse?

2520 (shouldn't that be 2526?) is a set of watchmakers staking tools. They fit into a small press (more of a guide actually) to press in watch and clock bearings, pinion shafts , etc.

2522- boot puller

2524- either "Dude, this is a family website!", or, a collapse-able saw

2525- pliers that also hammer *something*

2520 (26?)- holders for inserting acupuncture needles

2521, looks like a wall holder for candles. If the part with the hand and the bowl pivots, it's a single sided brassiere designed by a dirty old man. 2522, My first thought was the metal part on top is horse shoe shaped. Another gentle reader mentioned horse snow shoe, and that makes a lot of sense, to me. 2523, my first thought was an early set of handcuffs, but I'm probably mistaken. The center part looks to be a handle. Maybe a way of carrying two bottles of milk? Or some other kind of bottles or jugs? 2524, training device for eels, or other small fish. Train them to be still, and don't move. 2525, specialized cutter / hammer combination. Probably for running wire fence. 2526, looks a bit like my set of number and letter punches, though my set is rectangular.

2521. Has this got anything to do with eating monkey brains?

2522. I assume this fixes round a horses foot for some reason.

2523. This fixes to a wooden pole (perhaps a mast) to be used as a handle?

2524. Fold away saw blade.

2525. Wire strippers.

2025 looks like a set of chasing tools for goldsmith.

[Rex]

2525 Spring stretching tool, possibly for a brake spring.

[Rob H.]

Sounds like a good guess, I was thinking it could be a mail slot but I like your idea better.

[Rob H.]

Thanks, just fixed that.

This answer is correct.

[Rob H.]

Yes, it was marked as being a fence tool, though I didn't see it my fence tool book.

[Rob H.]

I like the mast handle idea, don't know if it's right or not but it sounds reasonable.

"Rob H." fired this volley in news: [e-mail]:

It's a crypt marker, not for a "grave", but a vault.
