1064: these remind me of the thimbles which are used to store the
elastic rings used in pigeon racing (before the advent of electronic rings).

1062 is a Korean style "treasure box" lock. Usually they take the form
of exotic bas-relief carved cedar or mahogony, and often come in nested
sets of three or four boxes.

That sort of lock is also quite often found on high-end Ivory chess sets
and Gomoku sets from the orient, circa 1940-1960.

The I-beam key has no "teeth" like would a western style key. It's one-
off, hand-made geometry is just a little different for each lock, so that
other locks' keys won't fit in the "I" shaped hole. The key merely
expands a fork-shaped detent inside or presses up a single-leaf spring
latch, to allow one entire end of the lock (with the crosspin/hasp) to
slide out. It isn't captive, and can be easily damaged when dropped
(don't ask how I know).

1061 looks for all the world like a scotch mechanism out of a shaper.

1062 is a little ornamental lock.
mine was made in india and uses a cast brass "I" section key that is
poked into the hole not shown in the other end. this action squeezes
together two vanes which eventually disengage to allow the lock to be
slid apart.

1063 is a stamping/crushing mill. the grate it stamps into isnt
something I've ever seen so it isnt for crushing rock.
my guess is a continuous coal stamper that feeds a small boiler.

1065 is the very original ping pong bat. these were made illegal in
the game of ping pong when it was found that the balls were returning
supersonic. :-)

#1062 a sliding weight for a beam type scale

I received an email from somebody looking for help in identifying some
things that were found with a metal detector on a football field. They've
got some good guesses but they haven't been able to verify exactly what they
were for, the original post can be seen he

Or skip ahead to page four to see all of the photos:

Maybe someone here will recognize them.

According to R.H. :
Set 193 has just been posted:

http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

1061) Hmm ... do the red parts pivot out, to form handles
for levering something into place?

Otherwise, it looks a little like a variant on a bicycle pedal,
except that it does not have the full-length bearing housing,
and the shape of the red parts is perhaps closer to working as a
hand grip instead of a foot pedal. Perhaps for some kind of
exercise machine?

1062) Mounting for the end of a strap or handle -- perhaps for
a suitcase?

1063) My first thought was that it was for crushing sugar cane to
extract the sugar. But it looks as though there is a firebox
below the grate where the crushing goes on -- so perhaps it is
for breaking up coal to a finer size?

In any case, it is powered by a flat belt through the pulley at
the bottom left, and I would not like to get my limbs in the
path of those crushing blades.

1064) Primers (caps) for a cap-and-ball weapon. I think that this
size is for cap-and-ball revolvers. The caps slide on over the
nipples on the cylinder, the powder is poured in, and the ball
with wadding and waterproofing is inserted on top of the powder
with a lever operated plunger built under the barrel of the
weapon. (Actually -- don't put the primers in place until all
of the other steps have been completed. :-)

When the hammer strikes the cap, crushing it between the nipple
and the hammer, it sets off the compound which you can see as a
redish-orange layer in the bottom of some of the caps in the
photo. The fire from that goes though a hole in the nipple, to
set off the powder and launch the ball and wadding through the
barrel.

I also recognize the mark of one of the common primer makers for
reloading cartridges -- CCI, which is one thing which made me
more sure that I had properly identified these, as they do not
look like the earlier caps which I have seen.

1065) An early prototype "cosh" (blackjack)? :-)

Perhaps something used in the beating out of gold leaf?

1066) A cap and ball salute gun perhaps? Set off either by stepping
on the pedal to the right or by pulling on the chain to pull the
triangular piece of steel out from between the hammer and the
lock mechanism to trigger it.

The other end of the chain has a safety pin to keep the hammer
from moving until it is removed.

I don't know for sure whether this is just a noisemaker, or is
actually intended to fire a ball. If the latter, I don't like
the length of the foot pedal.

Hmm ... a closer look at the sear shows that it releases when
the pedal is moved *up*, not down. This might suggest that it
is for trap shooting of burrowing varmints. Place it over the
hole, then the critter comes out, the top of it's head pushes up
the lever, and the gun discharges to dispose of the critter.

In any case -- it *might* work with the caps shown up above in
this puzzle set.

1061 is an adjustable-length wirewrap wire stripper.
I think 1066 might be the percussion lock for a cannon.
