I thought: Finally one I can completely answer. But no, one is missing.
:-(

624: the purpose is for messuring into corners
625: NOT a gang spill, but an axle of a big wooden wheel
626: a plumbline
627: a "folding bone" (We call it that way). Draw/press a groove with
the tip in paper and fold it there. It is NOT a letter opener.
628: A cutting tool. First it looks like a scraper for metal, but I
think it is for wood turning and there to cut holes.
629: A spring loaded knob. :-)

624 Early version for taking inside measurement? Modern versions use the
tape case with a fixed dimension you add to the measurement. With this one
you don't have the square/rectangular case, so the 5" strip is used.

625 You sure it's only 15" tall? Only thing I've seen like this is an
anchor windlass on a sailing ship. Powered by men putting wood bars in the
rectangular slots and walking around it. Picture "appears" to be taken
around a dock or harbor locale as well.

The rest ????????

627 Used by dry-cleaning professionals, this scraping tool is called a
"bone."

#627 is a bone folder. It's used to rub a crease into a piece of
paper, or to burnish down a glued edge. It can also be used to burnish
gold leaf.

#627 Burnisher. I used this type for burnisher on adhesive backed copper
foil on stained glass.

Oh Boy! I get to be first on one!

#625 - My first impression was "hibachi", but the other answers
sound more logical.

#626 - Looks vaguely like a plum bob, but why the threaded cap?

#629 - Pinball shooter knob. The pointy end is to hurt your hand
if you whap it for that extra power shot (which could damage the
machine). ;-)

Yup, I do believe you got it. Sure does resemble a capstan though. Guess my
head was in the wrong pew this morning.

According to R.H. :
This week's set has just been posted:

As usual, I'm positing from rec.crafts.metalworking.

624) The purpose of the rear extension is to allow measurement
between two vertical surfaces such as walls. More recent
tape measures have a flat bottom and square back corner, with a
marking on the case telling to add 2" (or whatever) for inside
measurements.

This one has a set of markers on the other end of the short stub
to serve as index marks from which the measurement to which five
inches should be added are to be taken.

625) This looks like the top part of an old ship's capstan. The
bars are plugged into the "pigenholes" to allow the sailors to
turn the whole. Below the part shown should be a waisted spool
for the line (or chain), and a ratchet on the deck with
reversible pawls engaging that to prevent unintended back
spinning.

626) Perhaps a match safe for camping?

627) Hmm ... missing what I would expect to allow it to be a shuttle
for weaving fishnets, so that isn't it.

Perhaps used for threading rope through a seam at the top of a
bag closed by a drawrope?

628) Perhaps some form of inside bearing scraper?

629) Perhaps a curtain rod which is held into dimples in the window
frame by the spring pushing the shallow cone into pre-made
sockets?

Now to post this, and see what others have said.

Enjoy,
DoN.

625. Wagon wheel hub. These were usually made of Elm
and judging from the size I'd guess it is from a large cargo
wagon, perhaps an ore hauler.

I'm using a time server, so it should be right on my Mac.
But yes, I'm in a different time zone than you are. Central European

626. Dead drop spike, used by spies as a hiding place for info to be picked
up by someone else.

627. Bone folder, this tool has multiple uses, as seen in several posts in

The hour, minute and second seem to be right, but the day is not, and
that is no April fools joke.

Willie Nelson's back!


If you follow the UK method of writing dates it will also occur on the
4th of May this year!

on 03/04/2006 or, 04/03/2006??
