460: Dunno
461: Looks like a spreader / stretcher. For "O" rings? I use a similar
tool to spread automotive battery terminals over posts??
462: Dunno
463: Dunno
464: Compound guillotine. Probably for cutting wire.
465: We used to call those PV's ( or maybe pikes) only ours were about
6' long. Lineman use them to help maneuver poles around. Good for
beating back bulls when in the cow pastures.

Not quite the same. The photo shows a Peavy; the cant hook is similar but
has no point on the end.

I agree with the "peavy" nomenclature, but a "cant hook" has a splay
point at right angles to the axis of the handle to assist in the
rolling function. You can pull a log with a properly applied cant
hook,

For whatever reason, your original article hasn't arrived here
yet, so I will reply to this one.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual.

460) Device for putting decorative grooves in wood -- parallel to an
edge -- thus the wood dowel which extends as a guide.

461) For expanding rings -- either finger rings, or perhaps rings
for attaching to the ears or noses of domestic animals.

462) Spoon for reaching deep into a bird when cleaning it prior to
adding stuffing?

463) Most people? It looks too aggressive to be a currycomb for
pets. Perhaps part of a stretcher to keep fabrics from
shrinking as they dry?

464) Obviously some kind of cutoff tool. Not for normal cable,
as it would need a way to open at the sides to get to the middle
of the wire. Maybe for something like cutting cork to length
for bottles?

Or maybe for cutting wooden dowels to length?

does the other side look like the side shown?

465) This one is a tool used for handling logs -- back in the days
when they were all dropped into a river to float down to the
mill, and might get tangled up. This is what the guys who
climed out to clear the logjam would use.

466) -- nope -- none there yet. :-)

Enjoy,

Hard cork...

Or maybe for cutting wooden dowels to length?

If you want to consider cattle horns a dowel...

does the other side look like the side shown?

Yes...

It's a cattle dehorner shear...

Disagreed: Buddy is right. A cant hook (or cant dog) is a wooden rod
with a hook connected to it, with or without a splay point. The
earliest cant hooks were just a pole with a rigid hook connected to it,
looking a lot like a modern nonmechanical can opener. Later, a eyering
was added making the hook into a 'swing dingle', but it could not be
controlled very well. Joseph Peavey's "improved cant hooks" had a
hinge to keep the swing dingle aligned with the rod, but it was the
addition of a point that made it a peavey. With a point, its a peavey:
without one, its a cant hook, regardless of whether or not it has a
crowfoot at the end.

(Apparently this week they are all dog related).

460. Antique tick squisher (brush the fur until a tick is located, then hit
the rod with a hammer to squish the tick).
461. Dewormer for French poodles (I hope I don't have to describe how it is
used).
462. A "Pooper Scooper" for teacup Chihuahuas.
463. Close-up of a brush for wirehaired terriers.
464. Toenail clippers for Great Danes.
465. Meat hook used to feed pit-bull terriers.

Must be a tough set this week, three correct so far:


463. Carpet kicker/stretcher

464. Dehorning shears

465. Peavey


The first three have no right answers yet:

460. This tool is somewhat similar to number 463, the rod held up by the
spring is made of metal.

461. It is an expander as has been mentioned, I posted a photo of it with
the handles compressed, not sure if that will help much.

462. This one has a three word name, with the second word being "dust".

462 is what we call a "Marrow Spoon". Used when fly fishing.
When you catch your first fish this is put down the fishes throat
into its stomach and used to scoop out the contents so they can
be examined, so you can determine what the fish have been
mainly feeding on. Then you can tie on a suitable fly/lure to
enable you to catch more fish. (The difficult bit is catching
the first one!)

Yes, it is a expander. For rubber tubes. Insert it in the tube, expand
it, and it's much easier to put the tube on some fitting.

It does look similar to a marrow spoon but according to the seller it was
used for a different purpose.

It could be used for rubber tubes but the tool collector who sold it said it
was for lead pipes, though I'm still trying to confirm this.

Surely that's a piscevomitoscope, or something ? "Marrow spoon"
originally just meant a spoon for digging marrow out of cooked long
bones and this could well be one.

This tool was supposedly used for a different purpose than marrow digging.

It's really quite a rare tool, because it's only used for joining narrow
lead pipes onto large ones - such as a bathroom basin outfall onto a
large-diameter toilet waste stack. They're used to expand a small radial
hole in a large pipe and their function is to make a flange, rather than
particularly to make the hole bigger. Those large vertical pipes have
generally been cast-iron rather than lead since before the war (in the
UK anyway) so this really is going back a bit!

These ones might be a Stanley #19 and are illustrated in older Stanley
catalogues.

The usual joint in lead pipe is a straight butt joint between pipes of
equal diameter. One of these pipes needs to be expanded too, so as to
fit over the other, but you do this using a greased fixed conical
expander, usually turned of boxwood and called a "turnpin", "button" or
"acorn". If you try to use this plier-style expander, the pipe will
split.

Correct, a tack is inserted in the hole, the fabric is stretched and the rod
is hit with a mallet, allowing a single person to do what would otherwise
take two.
