Some have mentioned that it would be interesting to know which group posters

with your reply.

I received an email from someone who collects scales and weights, he said
that number 244 (the spherical slotted weight that unscrews into two pieces)
is an old ice weight. I did a lot of searching on the web and couldn't find
anything on ice weights, so I emailed him asking for some more info but
haven't heard back yet. So if anyone can shed some light on this, please
let us know, or you have any antique books maybe you could take a look to
see if they are described therein.

267 looks like it might be some kind of bullet
268 looks like a bayonet
270 looks to me like its a picture (painting/engraving or reproduction of
same). The subject of the picture looks like it might be a hunting scene
(with dogs, people on horseback and something in the middle near the bottom
that is the object of the hunt, possibly a fox. You can see the word
"Edward" followed by "V" with some more writing ("VA"?), no clue what it
means. No clue as to the usage/purpose of the object either
271 looks like something for taking liquid from some kind of container (or
putting it back into a container), the screw threads look like they screw
into some kind of bottle or jar or something.

My guesses:

267 - Acorn nut - cheap variety.

268 - Bayonette?

269 - Small "propellor" or fan blade

270 - Edward Van Altena artwork... grin

offset is a bit odd.

As I was one who has made this suggestion, I should state that I
am reading/responding in rec.crafts.metalworking.

266) Some kind of tool for lifting hot objects. It might engage the
slots in old cast-iron wood burning stoves for lifing out the
covers for placing individual cooking containers.

267) A formed acorn nut -- designed to be used to keep clothing or
parts of a person from snagging on the end of the bolt sticking
through the nut.

High-quality ones are machined from a single piece of metal,
polished, and plated with chrome or nickel.

This one was formed by folding petals of sheet steel over a
standard hex nut.

268) Rifle bayonet. I don't recognize the rifle from the design,
but it *might* be a Revolutionary War or Civil War period piece.

269) Wood model airplane propeller, shot end on. This one is for an
engine which turns clockwise as viewed from behind the engine.
There are ones made for CCW operation as well.

270) Hmm ... perhaps an image made by removing the silvering from a
mirrored piece of glass, and then backing it with a black
background? If so, there is probably a fancy term for the
process, which I do not know.

271) Hmm ... it looks as though it screws onto a hose. At a guess,
with reasonable water flow, the bent wire pieces spin, spraying
water all around the device. Thus it would be for cleaning
something fairly large -- perhaps the size of air conditioning
ducting or larger, with a serious flow of water beating against
the walls.

Enjoy,
DoN.

P.S. I see that I was looking at item 260 the wrong way around. What
I thought was a bayonet to attach it to a shaft is actually the
cutting end. :-)

Now to see what others have said.
