The sight notch, mirror and "plumb bob" of the "pistol" seem to be designed to allow the user to be sure he is holding it level front to back and side to side. What the trigger does is anyone's guess, although it looks like it is a release of some sort for some removable part that is not shown.
2770. What our guns will look like if the ridiculous gun laws out law having guns. The gun laws of course will have no effect on criminals because gun laws don't protect the innocent.
2772 Keg for black powder
2770 Brevet makes watches. I suspect it may be a Ruby setting device.
Rather than a lamp shade, a base or oil reservoir for a sconce type oil lamp. This base could be removed, for refilling, without having to remove the lamp body from its attachment to the wall (or attachment to whatever the body is on).

2767: battery terminal pliers
The museum didn't specify exactly what it was for but millstone is certainly correct.
Correct
Sounds like a good idea but I sure can't find another one like it on the web.
Brevet is also the Swiss word for Patent.
Brevet is also the French word for patent, so I don't know if the word on this tool is a company name or if it's just saying that the tool is patented.
Good answer, you nailed it.
34" would be about right for a small water powered mill. That one looks in very good shape as well.
It's looks really light, or almost worn out from use and resharpening. I suspect it was animal powered.

2767 molar extractor for elephant vets.
2768 millstone, for grinding African wheat.
2769 elevating baby scale for pediatricians.
2770 not sure what it is, but I hope the owner has a permit for that.
2771 base for an oil lamp. That, or a lamp globe.
2772 head for old wooden mallet.

Good timing on our posts. :-) I think the logo might be the key to solving this one but I haven't had any luck yet in connecting it to a company. The two knobs under the mirror look like they could be for resting this device on a flat surface but for what purpose I don't know.
My thoughts too .. too thin and in too good condition. Maybe the photo angle is hiding the true thickness ? John T.

that the loyal Saint Bernard delivers via his collar .. I wish. Great series - I'm stumped on them all .. The 4 inch glass container cannot be a lamp shade of any kind - too small & shallow. The shape lends itself more to a lamp oil reservoir .. a small decorative supported lamp. John T.
