What is it? Set 540
3151: Heavy-duty backscratcher? The square shaft section
near the handle might be for a wrench to apply torque, so it could tighten/tension wire or rope or strapping. 3152: lid flips open on cotter-pin hinge, the handle operates a catch on the mechanical part we mainly don't see. Probably a forward/reverse/off kind of control? With another handle? That suggests elevator or hoist. 3153: hand-operated vacuum pump? 3154: an 'ah-so' style cork puller 3155: A light duty drill press, but the control lever is odd. Limited up-down range, no drill marks in table, so maybe it was a fixtured gizmo (some kind of hold-the-work elements are missing). Jacobs chuck could hold a variety of tools. It'd work as a factory station for deburring or countersinking, with an oddball (foot?) control for the up/down. Of course, it could also bore corks or put holes in belts. |
