Haven't had many new guesses for a couple days so I went ahead and posted an

Got any more pix of 228? I notice it's still "Unknown". It looks like a
folding straightedge, but I'd really like to see some better pix, with it
folded and unfolded, closeups of the hinge, and stick ends, and recess,
and so on. It could be Paul Bunyan's Razor! ;-)

And when I found out that the "boot weight" was made of leather, but
before I found out it was a boot weight, I was going to say, "blackjack."
Which is probably what it was, like a "tire checker" is a tire checker. ;-)

Cheers!
