664: Tool chit. When you check a tool out of a tool crib, you put one of
these tags in it's place. The number ID's the borrower.

You can also chuck a hand wire-wrap tool in one for a cheap wire-wrap gun. ;-)

#660 Drafting power eraser
#662 Top of a rook
#663 Come-a-long?
#664 Dog tag?

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

http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual.

660) Electric eraser -- used by draftsmen. The collet chuck
at the bottom left of the image holds a long version of the
eraser found in normal pencils -- though likely a more
aggressive compound.

661) Most likely a puzzle of some sort.

662) Maybe I *should* recognize it -- but I don't.

The size (based on the grain of the tabletop behind it) looks to
be on the order of 1 to 1-1/2" diameter.

The castellated design suggests to me that it *might* be part of
a child-proof bottle cap for medicine bottles, but I don't see
any threads, so if so, it is from a strange view.

663) Perhaps a brake lever for a horse-drawn wagon?

664) An identifying tag for a dispenser for motor oils? (Suggested
by the 30W -- and the date.)

665) The pliers appear to be designed for breaking to length
something fairly brittle -- perhaps Bakelite terminal strips,
based on the size suggested by the stop on the backing plate.

If it were designed to be used on something softer, such as
leather, the blade would close flat to the backing plate.

Now to see what others have posted about this series.

Enjoy,
DoN.

660: Everone says it's an eraser, so I guess it's an eraser.
661: Possibly a piece made to demonstrate an optical illusion.
662: Looks like a blanking piece (installed) made to fill a hole in
something.
663: Obviously there's no truth in advertising, as it's neither
painted nor a post.

664: Looks like a dog tag.

665: A tool for bending metal; possibly another typewriter tool.

Check a NY State map, just a little East of Corning to find the Painted
Post. Very close by is also a place called "Horseheads".

I remember as a kid, trying to fit two of these together, interleaving
the castellations. ;-) I figured the white one and black one should just
mesh, but no luck. ;-)

Five of the six have been answered correctly this week, don't know yet about
the last one:





660. Electric eraser

661. Stewart Coffin's Three-Piece Block puzzle

662. Rook chess piece

663. Fence stretcher

664. Tool check token, or tool chit. Still trying to figure out the first
line, "30W-1966", the last part is probably the year, my best guess for 30W
is that maybe it designates the model of token.

665.

Actually, they're quite "mild" - typically white vinyl.


Yes, we used the white vinyl type most often, but occasionally we had to use
the gray abrassive type similar to erasers found on pens. There were also
red and green rubber erasers for those that preferred them. I forget the
name of it, but we also used a foul, toxic smelling liquid to erase some
drawings, I hated using that stuff.
