) Just added several new pictures: ) ) http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ 297 is a gardening tool we owned once, I think it was for removing weeds from between pavement tiles or something. 299 is quite obviously an old-fashioned razor blade. 300 might be some kind of fancy barometer. 301 looks a lot like a wire stripper/crimping tool, that you could use to attach those crimp-on copper plugs.

Just added several new pictures: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Rob 300. Fancy plastic version of a ancient bamboo fire maker. Works by heat of compression to light a bit of fluff you place in it before whacking down the piston.

R.H. wrote: Just added several new pictures: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again: 296) Some sort of embossing tool. The tab on the upper side looks as though it hooks under something to give greater downforce. 297) Look as though it is for ripping something open, though the sharpened edge is in the wrong place for how I would think that it would be used. 298) Looks like a tool for gripping the neck of a chem lab flask, perhaps an Erylmyer(sp?) flask (conical body), or the more common bulb bottomed ones whose name I forget. It looks as though it is spring loaded to remain closed and a squeeze on the end of the handle opens it. 299) Looks like a straight razor, except for the serrations visible where the sharp edge should be. 300) Looks like a "fire piston". Put something easily burned in the bottom, and shove the piston down as fast and as hard as you can. 301) A reversible crimper or holder. I *think* crimper, and held as it is, it would serve for crimp splicing wires with two-holed terminals. Quite old, in any case.

As positioned for oval swages. Flip it around to swage ball shanks. |

Status so far:
296. No correct answer yet. 297. I would agree that this is most probably a crack weeder, the owner said that there was dirt on it when he got it. 298. Still not sure about this one, the owner did mention that it's cheaply made, with flimsy rivets. The rest were all answered correctly by at least one person. 299. Straight razor, a photo of the entire item can be seen he http://pzphotosan56.blogspot.com/ 300. Fire syringe, also called a fire piston. I think that specifically the glass and clear plastic versions are referred to as syringes. 301. Telephone lineman's splicing clamp Rob |
296. No correct answer yet.
Is 296 some kind of tool for working with leather/hide |
