272 looks like a device that one could screw to hold a window closed, I
remember owning or using one similar to that (but covered in a cream
colored paint instead of shiny like that one)
274 looks like its designed to spray something (insect spray? paint? dont know)
276 looks like a shutter (to an old camera? film equipment? I dont know)
277 looks like cutting blades from something like a garbage disposal or
something.

Correct, it's a sliding window lock

274 looks like its designed to spray something (insect spray? paint? dont
know)

I don't think it's a sprayer

276 looks like a shutter (to an old camera? film equipment? I dont know)

It's not a shutter, but it is part of a camera.

277 looks like cutting blades from something like a garbage disposal or
something.

Nope

The shutter is behind the iris. The iris is first opened to the
calculated/selected F-stop, then the shutter opens briefly.

What we're looking at here is the iris.

Correct, except on this old camera part the shutter is in front of the iris.

If this is this one:
http://pzphotosan52.blogspot.com/
then it's clearly a shutter, since they say so right on the page.

The "T" is "Time", the "B" is "Bulb", I don't know what the "I"
is (maybe instant?), then 1/4, 1/2, 1 and 2 have to be shutter
speeds. And the cylinder on the right for the remote bulb. The
little pointer on the bottom is proabably equivalent to F stop.

Oh! I see - in the original photo, all we saw was the iris, in
the back view. On my monitor, all I see for the original is black.
Also, in the back view, you can see that that lower pointer is
coupled to it. So the assembly is both the shutter and the iris.

Cheers!

These are all correct, though I'm still not sure about 266, I have to admit
I hope it doesn't turn out to actually be an egg dipper, also I'm not sure
277 is for drywall.

277 isn't drywall - it is the backside of a wood piece that is bolted to something.

The Iris could be a shutter for a color spot or bright lamp - or carbon arc lamp to shut
down the volume of light to the subject. The real question is how tough is the item -
is it very thin - then camera - if reasonable thick then lamp or a projector (carbon lamp)
limiter. or on/off switch.

The tip of the bolt is actually a little bit convex, and the bolt is not
very long so I don't think it's a nutcracker.

This one belongs to someone else, neither he nor I know exactly what it's
for, so I'm not sure if this is correct.

275. Looks painful?

Not for a furnace

277. Nutlock for funiture assembly

Don't know if this is for furniture assembly, but you have the right general
idea.

Just guesses of course, but...

272. Some sort of screen door fastener. Maybe to hold the glass or screen
in place?

273. Sprinkler pipe clamp.

274. I would guess at an old chaulk or ink dispenster for carpenters, etc.

277. Cheap but effective "nut" for use on fiber board or soft woods with
light duty carriage bolts, etc. Digs into the wood as you tighten the
fastener and thus does not spin?

276 an old camera aperture control iris

277 - a nut that is drawn into the soft wood / chipboard by
the action of the bolt - thus allowing you to bolt together
without great access to nut and leaving very little

It is definitely not a wall anchor. (although it could be used for one if
put into place before assembling the wall! ;-) )

Do you know of a web site that could verify this one?

274 - Paint striper?

Here is some background on this item, as stated in the email from the owner:

"Found in my late Father-in-laws' estate. He had been an engineer at Pratt &
Whitney Aircraft in Hartford, but this was from his personal shop. He was a
tinkerer extraordinaire.

Seems to be an oiler or something, with the small rolling notched wheel
dispensing whatever was in the vial (looks like a striking wheel from a
Zippo, but not used that way here).

The round head screw on the side is for attaching to something that would
go through the hole, which does not have a passage into the nozzle.

This fits nicely into the hand, with thumb and finger resting in the
opposing depressions."


275 - Skeet thrower
276 - Camera iris/shutter/aperture?
277 - Tee Nut to put a threaded hole in wood

These three are correct, aperture for 276.

Do you know of a web site that could verify this one?

No, unfortunately I can't find one quite like that and I must admit that I'm
only speaking from what I've heard others call them. Lathe dogs generally
have a tab that is either bent to go into a slot on a faceplate or straight
to be driven by a bolt mounted on the faceplate. I've always heard the kind
with a fork like the one pictured called grinder or grinding dogs but I
don't know why. I can find examples of grinding dogs with 2 forks on them
but I must plead ignorance on the differences.

That fits with the pinstriper theory. The screw would be to clamp an
adjustable edge guide that you can use to follow an existing stripe or a
contour on the body of a car. Sort of like using a rip fence on a circular
saw. Here's a modern version:
