Default What is it? XCIX

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
