well, it looks old and pitted with rust, so it looks like an OLD tool. i
can't tell if the ends of the wires have barbs on 'em. how about scraping
the built up crud off the tubes in a steam engine heat exchanger? (i don't
even know if the tubes in steam engine heat exchangers get cruddy, just a
wild guess.) maybe you can screw on extensions to make it longer for
engines like the "BIG BOY". :-)

Five of the six have been identified:



472. One of a pair of magnetic parallels

473. The end of a fluorescent light

474. No correct answers yet, closest guess so far is pipe reamer

475. Boring tool for a barrel

476. Can opener, this one works differently than most, with the small
forked piece going on top of the rim and the blade cutting up from the
side

477. Flax tool
