#376 Goggles. They're a yellow filter to improve contrast in low-light
conditions. Given the side-shields I expect they're for use in mountain
(or Arctic) blizzards, rather than at dusk.

#377 Machinist's scriber. I think this is a Blue Point one, and there's
a magent in the top too.

#378 Banjo tuning key - the odd one, halfway down the neck.

#379 Bike spanner / tyre lever. A cheap piece of extruded aluminium,
specially designed for the large wrench to split if you ever need to use
it. Cute design, entirely useless as a reliable tool.

#380. Treen. Keeps bored woodturners busy. This one probably claims to
be a lace-making bobbin, but that captive ring is a give-away that the
real purpose of woodturning is woodturning.

#381 Screw-on nose, to allow a fabric polishing mop to be mounted on the
end of a shaft or motor.

379: Hammer of some sort; probably intended for carrying in the field,
as it looks like it's made to be light. It's got a hammering end,
a claw, a nail-puller, and a prybar. I don't understand the hole
in the peen, though.

380: Looks like a musical instrument.

381: Gas fitting for attaching flexible tubing.

#376: sunglasses, possibly for shooting. The orange color would give
you sharper color resolution.

#377: a pocket scriber or one of those "engravers" for marking items.

#380: could be a lace-making bobbin, but from the size is more likely
to be a spindle for drop-spinning. 12" long is awfully big for a lace
bobbin.

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again:

376) The side screens show that these are being used for an
industrial application.

The color is not the blue which would filter out sodium flames
but I strongly suspect that it is for some other similar
filtering function. Perhaps to show up a potassium flame?
Anyway, I suspect that it is for some form of gas welding or
brazing.

377) Layout scribe, for marking in contrast coated metals prior to
machining. Button extends or retracts the sharp poing, which
would otherwise be endangering the pocket and the wearer.

378) fifth-string tuning machine (geared key) for a five-string banjo.

379) A fireman's tool. The pentagonal hole in the head fits the
valve stem on fire hydrants.

The hook and loop in the handle is for tightening the
brass/bronze hose fittings onto the hydrant, or to join two
hoses.

The hammer and hook on the head may be for breaking into locked
doors to gain access to the fire.

380) Not at all sure, but I *think* that it is related to the fibre
arts in some way.

381) Arbor for polishing wheels to attach to a bench grinder. The
hex nut threads onto the shaft, and the long gentle screw grips
the cloth polishing wheel.

Comparing it to the penny for size, I think that it is designed
for something other than a bench grinder -- perhaps a hand-held
angle grinder, or something similar.


Now to see what others say.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Really? I thought sure those glasses would be either 3d, or glass blowing.

So, are those lines across the lenses a camera illusion, or are the lenses
really 2-tone?

The lines are a reflection of a shelf, I didn't notice them until you
mentioned it, so they aren't 2-tone. According to the seller these
glasses were use for a rather common purpose, not industrial in nature.

Amber glass, in general, is used to reduce glare and see through haze.
Commonly used by avaitors, hunters, and fisherman, among others. Even
preferred by some (over the 'normal' green/grey) for highway driving..

Which category this particular pair falls into is "anybody's guess".

This is the answer that I was looking for, before 1919, "horseless
carriages" had no windshields, traveled at 5-8 mph and drivers wore goggles.
This is a pair of Willson Googles, not sure if they were also used with
motorcycles.
