Default What is it? CX


#639: postal scale


Hmmm. OK. Clip the letter in the slot at the handle end, stick a pivot
through the appropriate
hole to get it to balance. Neat!

#638 Gnomon of a sundial, with what appears to be a compass face below.
Portable (pocket?)
sundial?

#640 ? "Specific kind of scraper"? The curved profile is kind of a baffler.
I'm going to get way
out on the limb here---It is a butcher's tool, used for scraping down
carcasses after skinning
to remove excess fat etc. .
