537 a candle lighter. Inside would be a waxed candle wick. It is pushed
out of the opening at the end of the curved piece by means of a small protrusion farther on down near the handle on the body. "R.H." wrote in message m... The latest set has just been posted: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Rob |

Hi,
533 Just a quess, but it looks like a number fasteners of some kind (maybe odd staples or glaser points) are loaded into the vertical tube. The tool is pushed forward to seat the fastener. From the second picture it seems that the left piece slides on the main body and handle assembly. The third picture shows a thin metal piece solidly attached to the handle that would drive the fastener into whatever. 534 This looks a bit like a naval weapon from the days of sailing. One would fire this into the opposing ships rigging and then pull the rigging down or bring the opposing ship up to you for boarding. Fun as always, Roger haar *************************** "R.H." wrote: The latest set has just been posted: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Rob |

537 looks like an opener/closer for the smaller windows above the doors
in old office buildings. It would pull the latch and lower the window, and then push it back up to close. robo hippy |

534 is a jig for cleaning chimneys. Rags were wrapped in the wires, the
whole thing was dropped down a chimney and retrieved 535 is well identified as a battery post cleaner. 536 looks like a closeup of the back of a bicycle mirror, the adjustable kind. 537 is mesmerizing...it looks vaguely familiar. Something to do with a gas lamp? --humuculus |

But I guess it is for inserting glazing points that hold glass panes in a wooden window pane before glazing. I know you have done that by hand. 534 This looks a bit like a naval weapon from the days of sailing.

They've all been answered correctly this week:
533. Glazier's point pusher, thanks to all who helped solve this one 534. Crab net anchor, the wires are flat/blunt on the ends, so I don't think it's a squid jig 535. Battery terminal cleaner 536. Pay phone coin release lever 537. Gas light lighter 538. B & D valve grinder A couple more photos can be seen on the answer page: http://pzphotosan95.blogspot.com/ Rob |

I think the main difference is that most candle lighters have a snuffer next to the wick, whereas this one has the oval piece that is used to turn the gas off and on. Also, this tool is slightly broken, there is a small piece that slides up and down the length of the shaft, but it looks like it used to be attached to something up near the end, I'm guessing it was used for feeding out more of the wick.
