Do you know of a web site that could verify this one?
No, unfortunately I can't find one quite like that and I must admit that I'm
only speaking from what I've heard others call them. Lathe dogs generally
have a tab that is either bent to go into a slot on a faceplate or straight
to be driven by a bolt mounted on the faceplate. I've always heard the kind
with a fork like the one pictured called grinder or grinding dogs but I
don't know why. I can find examples of grinding dogs with 2 forks on them
but I must plead ignorance on the differences.
"Found in my late Father-in-laws' estate. He had been an engineer at Pratt

Whitney Aircraft in Hartford, but this was from his personal shop. He was
a
tinkerer extraordinaire.
Seems to be an oiler or something, with the small rolling notched wheel
dispensing whatever was in the vial (looks like a striking wheel from a
Zippo, but not used that way here).
The round head screw on the side is for attaching to something that would
go through the hole, which does not have a passage into the nozzle.
That fits with the pinstriper theory. The screw would be to clamp an
adjustable edge guide that you can use to follow an existing stripe or a
contour on the body of a car. Sort of like using a rip fence on a circular
saw. Here's a modern version:

This fits nicely into the hand, with thumb and finger resting in the
opposing depressions."
275 - Skeet thrower
276 - Camera iris/shutter/aperture?
277 - Tee Nut to put a threaded hole in wood
These three are correct, aperture for 276.
