I'll pass on the ones other people have got right.
457 works like a sickle, for cutting weeds. 459 could be a dust pan, but that does not explain the serrated edge. Probably used for scooping or picking up something like grain, or chicken pellets out of a pile. 448 The whole series looks like it came from the same box of old stuff. b is an electrical plug for 220 volts. d looks like an adapter for plugging into a light socket. They usually screw in--this one looks like it would twist in. 449 is the edging used to secure wall-to-wall carpet. |

According to R.H. :
Just added another post: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking: 454) "Archer" brand was Lafayette, IIRC. What I think that it is is an amplifier for allowing the hard of hearing to use a telephone. It is held to the receiver's headset by the strap (Leather? Rubber?), and the volume is adjusted by the red potentiometer visible to the right. That particular style was available back in the late 1950s as as starting period. 455) A couple of guesses he A) A remover for the cast iron lids over burner holes in wood stoves. B) Something which would slip over a pivot and the spurs would engage gear teeth to rotate something to adjust it. 456) A handle to pull on something. It might pivot on the edge at the top (suggested by the pivoting plate to which the string is attached), or it might be for a straight pull. I'm not sure that the string is original. It may be that the pivoting plate was originally held to a movable part by a pair of screws through those holes. If it *is* -- it looks somewhat like parachute cord. 457) It looks like some kind of saw for cutting off flush with the ground or some other surface, except that the angle of the teeth is not quite right. Could it be for cutting weeds or plants of some form? A closer look at the "teeth" might show signs of sharpening as a blade. 458) A bobbin for weaving fishnets and similar things. The line is wound around the enclosed spike and then back over the horns at the rear end. This allows a respectable length of cord to be carried on it. I once knew how to do that weave, but have forgotten over the years. 459) The barely visible slots between the teeth suggest to me that this may be for cutting growing foliage of some form, and collecting what is cut off. Are the bottom and sides steel? It looks as though they are. 460) Oh! You don't have one of these yet. :-) Now to see what others have guessed.

457. Hay knife -- for cutting hay loose when it used to be piled rather than baled. Now, livestock farmers use them when wanting to slice hay off a contolled portions from a large round bale. It's way easier to cut than trying to take a pitchfork and pull it loose. 459. A bluegrass or other small grass seed harvester. One would walk through the knee deep grass, swinging it back and forth. In between the large "teeth", there are small slots cut in the metal where the stem of the grass is forced during the swinging action. As the bucket continues to swing, the grass seed is stripped off the stem and captured in the bowl. |

Back then they were probably called "crap scrappers". 454 -- designed to strap on to an old-style phone.

Five of the six have been correctly answered:

What about #452?

The end of the thing reminds me of a clamp on one of our fence strechers... This answer is correct. The tag on it was marked "star fence stretcher", the wire is clamped by pivoting the handle and the star can be used for leverage for tightening the fence. My first thought was that it's for barbed wire, but I guess it could be used with other type fences as well. Rob |
According to Billy Hiebert :
What about #452? #452. Used to test voltage of indivdual cells in 6V car batteries. To test them under load, at that. That's what the wavy cross-piece is for -- the load resistance. But ... that was from last week's set of questions, to which he had already posted answers. Go to the bottom of the page and click for the answers and you will see. I think that he needs a much more obvious divider between the current ones and last week's batch.

Hi Rob, I thought it was probably used to grip a wire, but the strange shaped head didn't make much sense. Any chance that there is a patent number on it? -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |
I thought it was probably used to grip a wire, but the
strange shaped head didn't make much sense. Any chance that there is a patent number on it? No patent number, just "D-7" on the handle and "D-8" on the top part. I've looked in my books and on the web but couldn't find another one like it. Rob |
