442 is a screw remover

Can't get much of a feel for the overall size as I have no idea what the 19" dimension is in reference to, but I'm thinking it looks more like a light logging hook than for hay purposes. But, hey, who knows what them crazy Canadians did, eh? :) |

At least when I loaded hay those many years ago. Nowadays it's giant round bales and a forklift, except for the local Mennonites and Amish who still load horse-drawn wagons and loaders with pitchforks. Logging hooks are not usually big, at least not the handheld ones. There's a practical limit to how big a log a couple of loggers can lift. |

re # 436 The only thing I have seen that comes close is a tester for finding out the hardness of optical pitch used to polish telescope mirrors and lenses. Although they are usually calibrated with a scale of some kind. Maybe it had a similar use for a different item.

At least when I loaded hay those many years ago. That's a hand hook for bundles or small square/round bales... A double-hook similar to that shown was used often for loose hay in lofts, loading/unloading wagons, etc. For that purpose it seems far to small and I've not seen one w/ the ratchet mechanism, either. Nowadays it's giant round bales and a forklift, except for the local Mennonites and Amish who still load horse-drawn wagons and loaders with pitchforks. And, of course, don't forget the 40 or 60-ft boom stacker... :) Here most everbody simply uses a balefork on the tractor for moving just a few. Almost everybody has gone to the 2T round here as well. Logging hooks are not usually big, at least not the handheld ones. There's a practical limit to how big a log a couple of loggers can lift. That's why I made my guess...I'm thinking this one might have been used w/ a team. (But what do I know--ain't no trees within 200 miles of here... :) ) |
Regarding 447: Perhaps a clamping hook for pulling roots and smaller
stumps in clearing farm land. Agree that it is much too small and heavy for a bale-grabber and too small for a loose-fodder fork, which more typically have an 'armspan' of 6 feet or more. -- Fred R ________________ Drop TROU to email. |

I'm thinking it was more like a "skidder" hence the latch mechanism? Doesn't look tough enough to me for rough work such as the stump puller although that's hard to judge from the picture--if knew how much it weighed might help to judge. |

Puller for thornbrush, small stumps, etc. we used was more like a pair of scissors, made of 1/2" thick steel with short chains attached to handle ends & a ring where you hooked the pull chain. -- Nahmie The greatest headaches are those we cause ourselves. |

Did you ever tell us fer sure what 436 is? Haven't been able to confirm what it is, here are the guesses so far: -note holder -static electricity dischargers -puncture test tool -grandfather's clock mechanism -weights for the scales of justice -for electrical experiments -durometer -tester for finding the hardness of optical pitch -spindle for paper -for making indentations in metal -standard lightning rod balls and needles -for gravity experiments -desk decoration Rob |
I believe you got it correct, but the image is "upside down."

Five of the six have been answered correctly, still looking to confirm the
last one: 442. Easy-out 443. Raising hammer, for metal work 444. Shotgun shell reloader 445. Knife eraser 446. Ice cube maker 447. Haven't yet verified any of the guesses for this one. A little more info can be found on the answer page: http://pzphotosan80.blogspot.com/ Rob |

446. Ice cube maker A little more info can be found on the answer page: http://pzphotosan80.blogspot.com/ From the description, I'm having trouble picturing how that device would work. Does it "cut out ice cubes" from the block of ice that it sits upon? If so, where is the hot water held? Sorry if I'm not seeing the obvious.

From the description, I'm having trouble picturing how that device would work. Does it "cut out ice cubes" from the block of ice that it sits upon? If so, where is the hot water held? Sorry if I'm not seeing the obvious. In the second photo, notice the plugged hole on the left, that's where the hot water goes. If you look in the first picture you'll notice that the bottom of the cube tray is just past the holes on the side, so there is an inch or two of room below the tray to hold the water. http://pzphotosan80.blogspot.com/ Rob |
Each of the last two sets of photos has had an item that has not been
verified, but there have been numerous guesses. I would be interested to know what the individuals here think the solutions to these two might be so that I could post on the answer page the percentage or number of votes for the most popular. 436. Brass balls with rods and wood frame, please choose just one of the following: 1. static electricity dischargers/electrical experiments 2. puncture test tool 3. grandfather's clock mechanism 4. weights for the scales of justice 5. durometer, used to measure hardness/tester for finding the hardness of optical pitch 6. spindle for paper/note holder 7. for making indentations in metal 8. standard lightning rod balls and needles 9. for gravity experiments 10. desk decoration, no practical function for it ----- ----- ----- Before you vote on the next one, please take a look at the close-up of it at the link below. It shows the bracket on the back, it looks like it could possibly be mounted on a beam or some other structure. Also note the small spring in the upper right that looks to serve as a cushion for the lever. 447. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...03/pic447b.jpg A. caliper B. ice tongs C. hay bale lifter D. hook for small logs E. loose hay lifter F. clamping hook for pulling small stumps G. wire/rope puller for tightening bundles or bales If you would like to participate, please email the votes to me.

447. I've seen these hanging on the top rail of hay barns. I don't know what they are , but seems small for picking up loose hay. I always envisioned them as some kind of release hook system. As kids we use to go to a lot of barns to play tag in wherein you couldn't touch the floor. It's amazing no one ever got seriously hurt. Sounds like a good possibility, someone posted a similar idea on my site: "This is quite possibly a release mechanism for a drop door on an old farm dump wagon. The T like casting would be fastened to the side. The handle is offset to allow clearance for your hand when operating." I'll have to do a some research on this. Rob |

You see what I saw...I gave it up as the images are too indistinct for my eyesight to really discern the mechanism clearly enough to decide what was what... If one had it in ones' hands, all would probably come clear...then you could tell if something's broke and quite probably if it is incorrectly assembled. |

Without the spike parts I'd be tempted to say they had something to do with some very cold weather and two different size metallic monkeys. :-) Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) "Truth exists; only falsehood has to be invented." |
