What is it? Set 456

[Rob H.]

I need some help with the fourth item in this set:

[Dave Baker]

2651 is a weight for pan scales. My gran had similar ones with the kitchen scales she used.

[Walter Kraft]

2650. The two unidentified tools might be homemade "Bulletstartes" for a muzzleloading rifle. The top part looks like its be made from Stag´s horn.

2652 Appears to be a model (perhaps for a mason) of how to make a fireplace with an ash-shelf.

2647 Glass cutter

2648 Stickers for stacking pipe

[Dave Baker]

Here are some other examples.

no idea they were worth so much.

2647, could be any of a number of things. I'd guess a bicycle spoke tightener. The square hole is for opening valves on acetylene tanks. 2648, posts, for outdoor fence. 2649, as a former volunteer fire fighter, I recognize this one. I won't spoil it for our non fire fighter friends. 2650, don't know. 2651, stationary bottle opener? 2652, top of a fireplace

Posting from my desk top in the living room, as always.

Not a chess piece?

Glass cutter! I can see it now. But, the little wheel is missing from the end. Of course, still doesn't explain the square hole.

[Bill]

Perhaps to help close a window (to remove a pane)--for the kind of windows which had a crank???

[Stormin Mormon]

Some kind of side handle? To apply more force, or maybe to run the cutter in a perfectly straight line?

2647: Appears to be a glass cutter. The square hole would be for mounting on a radius arm to cut circles.

I think you are right. Here are some more similar examples:

also seem to be called "short starters"

[J Burns]

What could be worse than fighting a fire with cold, wet feet? This strap would allow a fireman to hang his hose on a ladder to dry in front of the fire!

Someone sent this in to find out what it was, they were using it as a door stop, when I gave them the answer they said that they might as keep using it for that.

[Rob H.]

Good answer, I should have known this one, I posted one a few years ago but it was ball shaped and I didn't make the connection to these tools.

[Rob H.]

Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to the owner of these tools.

[Rob H.]

These are both correct

[Rob H.]

Yes, that's what the square hole is for.
