299 = straight razor. Guys with beards still use those for trimming. :-)=

300 = a modern version of a 'fire piston.'

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.

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. See:

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.

Enjoy,
DoN.

From RCM.

297 A small contemporary froe
http://www.craftsofnj.org/toolshed/a...on%20Froes.htm
http://www.bchm.org/Austin/panel31.html

299 looks like a straight razor but the serrated edge would make for a
rough shave!

301 is for crimping (swaging) cable fittings. As positioned for oval
swages. Flip it around to swage ball shanks.

#299 I am betting the straight razor is serrated for hairdeesser use in
feathering hair in a "razor cut"

296: Potato masher.
297: For scraping ice off windshields.
298: Used in chemistry, to handle hot test tubes and flasks. Looks like
an older model.
299: A barber's breadknife.
300: ?
301: Wire stripper/splicer. Seems to be gaged to work with power cords
for small hope appliances.

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

Correct, it's a shoemaker's corrugated burnisher, used on shoe heels or the
edges of thick soles.
