571 Tap for tapping holes in wood? Think "broom handle"
572 Pliers for working with explosives. The business end cuts fuse, and crimps blasting caps. The pointy handle is for putting a hole in the dynamite stick to push the cap into. 573 Lawn thatcher |

A store manager wouldn't want all the same faces, and he would want a change from time to time. The traveling artisan could show the manager pictures of different dummy faces, then use the kit to mold a face with the chosen eyes, nose, and mouth. |

According to R.H. :
A new group of photos has just been posted, one of them is a little creepy looking, so don't say that I didn't warn you.;-) http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual: 569) Looks like a wrench for on-the-road repairs to a bicycle. I'm not sure what the large round hole is for -- perhaps mounting it somewhere to the bike frame to make sure that it is around when you need it. It appears to be fiberglass filled plastic, so it would not be strong enough to use on a motorcycle, and the largest size wrench section is too small for real utility on a motorcycle, let alone a car. The choice of material may be to allow it to be carried on an airplane in these days of fear of any metal tools. :-) it *does* say "Travel wrench" on it, after all. 570) Hmm ... at a guess, it is used for making masks with the ability to build a pattern from various features to fit on the basic skull part. Or -- perhaps they would be used by an undertaker in rebuilding a damaged face for presentation prior to the burial? 571) It doesn't look right for a thread restoration file, and in particular there is not the difference is pitch from one side to another, so I'll have to say "I don't know" on this one. Not even a reasonable guess. 572) Hmm ... Sargent is a maker of locks. So -- I would guess that this one is intended for cutting security cables to length in the notch closer to the hinge, and for crimping ferrules over the cut cable to provide something to lock to, and something which won't let the strands of the cable fray. 573) I think that is a de-thatching tool -- for breaking up accumulated lawn trimmings which have worked their way between the grass stems. 574) This looks as though it is to grip something wound in a large ID coil. Perhaps something like an electrician's snake (tape). The blue pads are to grip the edges of the coil. Normally, they are supplied in plastic or metal holders, but there might be some times when being able to loosen it and stretch the tape out full length might be handy. 575) ---------- nope, nothing more to guess about. ---------- Now to see what other guesses may say. Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

569 - bicycle or motor cycle wrench
Kool-Tool is more versatile 570 - I'm betting its a facial prosthetics making kit from the WW I era. Medicine had progressed enough that soldiers survived horrible facial disfiguring injuries by then. Guessing that the parts registered to the skull fitting into the third, missing part of the mold, and wax or liquid latex was poured into the mold. That's assuming the parts shown are out of some low melting point metal. If they're out of aluminum (aluminium for the Brits) or iron or steel, then unvulcanized rubber could be placed between the mold parts, heated and pressed between them to form a vulcanized rubber facial prosthetic 571 - probably an early tap (whole threader) - most likely for wood rather than metal 572 = wire stripper and cutter 573 - grass lawn aereator or dethatcher 564 - saw set - used to set the teeth on a saw blade 565 - food grinder or iice crusher circa 1970's 564 - cane handle 563 - M-1 rifle ammo clips bolders 568 - probably a leather shaving tool charlie b |

Now that I look at it again, it's something I remember from my long-ago youth. We lived in a mining town and my Dad worked summers in the mine (he was a teacher the rest of the year). He carried one very much like that. That job used to scare the crap out of me when I was kid; every couple of years some miner would kill himself from a blasting cap explosion. They had the habit of carrying them in their shirt pockets. He was more careful than that, but I always used to worry that he wouldn't come home one day. |

Shouldn't this thread be called : " What is it? IC" instead ?
571: I think everyone has been looking at the wrong end. Look at the other end, it's a flat screwdriver. and it does look used, unlike the square end that does look untouched. My guess is, it used to have a wooden handle that fell apart. and the thing that look like teeth are meant to give a better grip both rotationally and transversally between the wood and the metal. The handle would be made of 2 parts held together with some kind of collars. "R.H." wrote in message . ..

Five of them have been answered correctly, I'm still trying to find out what
the metal face parts are for exactly. 569. Impact Kerambit, self defense tool 570. 571. Tap, with matching die was used for cutting threads and nuts. 572. Blasting cap crimper 573. Lawn aerator 574. Tennis racquet press More pictures and a few links have been posted on the answer page. http://pzphotosan101y.blogspot.com/ Rob |

Shouldn't this thread be called : " What is it? IC" instead ? I use a web site that translates numbers into roman numerals and vise versa, if you try to translate IC it says invalid input, so I guess for some reason they don't use that for 99. 571: I think everyone has been looking at the wrong end.

to vigorously rake the lawn to break up the thatch. Doesn't an aerator generally have hollow teeth? scott There are plenty of the star wheel and spike types to be found on the web, but I do remember golf courses using the hollow ones that leave big holes, I always disliked paying to play on a course that had just been aerated.

I use a web site that translates numbers into roman numerals and vise versa, if you try to translate IC it says invalid input, so I guess for some reason they don't use that for 99. The standard rule is that, when a low-value letter is placed before a higher-value letter to indicate subtraction (such as IX indicating 10-1=9), the low-value letter can only be the next power-of-ten below the higher-value letter. Thus, V and X can only be preceeded by I, L and C can only be preceeded by X, and D and M can only be preceeded by C. And so, to get 99, one writes the 90 as XC, and the 9 as IX. And thus: XCIX. - Brooks -- The "bmoses-nospam" address is valid; no unmunging needed. |

In the photo, one end has a buckle and the other has a loop for a web belt to pass through. I've found a picture of an M1 rifle belt. On each side it had a section with five pouches. They were connected by a length of plain web in back. I've read that the M1 cartridge was about 3", so at 17", the piece in the picture looks right for the right side of an M1 belt. I wonder. If each piece with pouches was 17" and there was a length of web behind, the belt must have been several inches longer than 34. Wasn't it too big for a lot of soldiers? |
