I'm sure you already know what it is, but 181 would be called a "seg"
in the UK. Not sure if the same term is used elsewhere.

175 -- I used this over 30 years ago. It came in a Tandy leather craft
package. It's used for making decorative cuts on the leather surface but I
don't recall what it is called. Possibly "swivel knife" because to cut
curves you press down with an index finger while twisting the barrel between
your thumb and index finger.

Thanks for the memories. Doubtless my leathercraft kit is still in a box in
my parents garage. ;-)

Correct.


181. Tap for a shoe.

It's for a shoe, but it's not a tap.

Correct, it's a metal stud to protect the shoe from wear.

The first part of this is right, it's not a tap.

183 Watch bezel

This one isn't for a watch.

Thanks for the link, mine looks just like that except for the seam running
along the circumference.

I went to the flea market this morning and was looking through a box of
small pieces of miscellaneous hardware where I found some 1" diameter white
plastic balls. I bought three of them along with some metal ball bearings,
I was hoping someone here could tell me what these white balls might be for,
there is a photo of them he

176 is an igniter of some sort, the flint is held in the lefthand cylinder,
the wheel above it scratches the flint, the knerled knob on the right is
what you spin between your finger and thumb.

171 is a tarp clamp. You place it at a tarp location you want to tie down.
You place the tarp in the jaws, slide the locking mechanism to the right
(photo right), and there is a hole on the left that you can put a rope in.

182 Something you might find in a house of ill repute?

181 is nailed to the heal of a shoe or boot to protect the heal from wearing
to quickly.

180, Diamond Plate?

These polyethylene balls come in various sizes and are floated on liquid to
deal with evaporation or oxidation of chemistry.

Thanks for the reply, I did some searching and found some of the ones that
you mention he

http://www.k-mac-plastics.net/polyst...stic-balls.htm

Mine are different than these, they don't have a seam and more importantly
they don't float.

Further searching leads me to think that they might be the UHMWPE (ultra
high molecular weight) balls:

http://www.k-mac-plastics.net/uhmwpe-plastic-balls.htm

They seem a little pricey at $48.41 for five balls, anyone know what these
are used for?

178. Butane soldering iron tip

Yes, but others have suggested propane, maybe it works for both.

179. snow or ice cleat for a shoe

Correct.

180. aluminum stair tread

It's made of thin plastic, so it isn't a tread.

181. shoe tap

This one isn't a tap.

182. sheet feeder from old mimeograph machine

Nope.

183. nut for electrical conduit fitting

Probably right, as I mentioned in a previous post, I'm going to the hardware
store to verify it.

171. polymer tarp tiedown. I have a dozen from LVT.

Yes

174. old fisherman's pliers for hooks/split shot sinkers

Correct.

Possibly, if they have old lanterns there.

Is it for holding a gas mantle in shape ?

No, the knob is turned to raise or lower the wick. Maybe lantern is the
wrong word for one of these, I probably should have said oil lamp.

178. Butane soldering iron tip

Yes, but others have suggested propane, maybe it works for both.

I said butane because it's a twist-on. Butanes are portable and
propane usually had screw-on tips like oxy/acet.


180. aluminum stair tread

It's made of thin plastic, so it isn't a tread.

Hmmm...what size is that grid pattern?

It is, I gare on TEE.

The two in focus points in the foreground are 1/4" apart.
