http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ damned complicated, guess I will be way of with all answers this time. Anyhow. #388: Gauge for comparing silver(gold?)-content. #389: blind-riveting gun (no!) or air operated hammer for sheet metal work (also wrong) #390: sinter metal filter. Don't ask where it was in! #391: airless deep diving shoes. Maffia style #392: radio knob screw on tool. The inventor was without success, because the knobs are slipped onto the axle. No really, this ain't a commercial tool. Someone built it for his own purpose. Maybe to unscrew (Australian style) bottle caps. #393: for straw cutting.

388. scratch test needles 399. Pnemamatic blind air riveting gun 390. Antigue air compressor line filter 391. Earthing shoes to prevent staic discharge. 392. Automotive brake retaining spring tool. (Shoe brakes) 393. Inuit ULU knife. While generally can be used as an all around cutting tool, it was most affective for fleshing blubber from hide. |

The knife is a Mezza Luna or half moon
The tool with the screwdriver handle is for pressing on those clips that retain a spring without destroying the end of your thumb, car brakes have them. The pellet appears to be a sintered filter, perhaps for fuel. |

390 Looks like my dart sharpener (actually
they are better at removing burrs than sharpening). This one would be very shallow compared to: http://www.prodarts.nl/en/pt/cdfj.htm But looks a lot like http://www.4discountsports.com/item/B0006GRBDW/ L. |

You know if it is a sharpener I bet it would be to shape a pool cue tip.

R.H. wrote: Just posted another set: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again. 388) A graded series of points, marked "4" through "20", starting in steps of 2. (Or is that top one marked "30"? The photo blurs when I try to make it large enough to be sure.) My guess on this one is that it is a set of tools for cleaning carbon out of gas jets, or perhaps for enlarging them in precise steps. 389) I have three guesses for this one (in order of preference): 1) A reaction jet for moving a spacesuited man during a space walk. One trigger moves you forward, the other moves you backwards, and it is powered from a tank of compressed air connected through the handle. 2) Connects to a source of fire extinguishing foam for fires on the apron. 3) A gun for spinning up a jet turbine in an aircraft when powered by ground-based compressor. (But I would expect some kind of locking ring on the "muzzle" if this were the purpose. 390) Grinding stone (commonly called a "point", prior to mounting one end on a steel shank to allow it to be rotated. It looks like the green stones used for sharpening carbide tools if you can't afford the diamonds which do the job better. 391) These should mount on the boots of a space suit, and have magnets secured to the bottom by the Pillips screws visible. These are to allow walking in zero gravity during space flight. They keep the wearer from floating off the deck. (Is that surface on which they are displayed vertical by any chance? Is there another pair with the other side visible?) 392) This one I *know*. It is a tool for tightening the thin knurled nuts used for mounting switches, jacks, or potentiometers in the front panels of electronic equipment. I've even got three sizes of them of a somewhat different design (split collet with tightener, instead of this more open style.) 393) A knife used in cutting strips of blubber into "books" prior to boiling them down for the oil. (The "books" have a strip of the external skin as a "binding", with cuts down to but not through the skin. This is after the flensing knives (on long poles) are used to cut the skin of the whale into long strips as they are unwound from the carcass of the whale. As a secondary option, this looks like something used in the kitchen for cutting thin foot objects like pie crusts or pizzas, or perhaps for dicing things like onion slices. Now to see what others have guessed.

Looks like they've all been answered correctly, but I'm not sure about 392:
388. Scratch test needles 389. Reaction propulsion pistol, this device was tested in zero gravity aircraft flights as a means of individual maneuvering in free fall. 390. Dart sharpener 391. Magnetic boots, these were used in experiments in zero gravity aircraft flights to determine their utility for space operations. 392. When I posted this set, I thought that this was a brake shoe retaining spring tool like the one shown in this link: http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/kd285.html Others here seem sure that it's for knurled nuts, but I haven't found a link to see an example of one. This tool is marked "Blackhawk ZT1010", I did a search but couldn't find anything about it on the web. 392. Ulu knife or possibly a mezzaluna knife, they both look similar. Rob |

I just tried to find my examples to photograph them, but they are not in the toolboxes where I expected them. I guess that the trick is whether the knurls form a straight cylinder or whether they are tapered. If a straight cylinder, it would be a knurled nut tool, if tapered, it could be to grip the edges of the disc-shaped retainers on brake shoes. 392.

A standard size switch knurled nut is about .590" diameter, although I think
I've seen larger, less common ones. The end opening on my K-D Tools pin retainer tool is about .833 diameter (and tapering inward). I didn't have a new retainer to measure. WB .................

According to an anonymous comment on my site: "Cataloged as a "Mincing Knife". An exact image of this one shows up in an 1865 Russell & Erwin Hardware catalog." Ulu knives are for multiple purposes, as mentioned on this site: http://www.theulufactory.com/ I use mine for cutting pizza. Rob |

They keep the wearer from floating off the deck. (Is that surface on which they are displayed vertical by any chance? Is there another pair with the other side visible?) Unfortunately they were displayed so that the bottom was not visible, you would think that they would mount them with one showing the top and the other one showing the bottom, maybe I'll suggest that to the museum.
