What is it? Set 398

#2304 Guess: A sight for a weapon; the 2 screws would secure it, the "handle" would help adjust it.

Bill

Shoot, I don't believe it either... the shiny "sheet metal" part looks more important than what I took for a sight. The later is surely just part of the adjustment mechanism...

Bill

Ah! I think the shiny sheet metal part is intended to be lined up with the other part. Might work for some sort of sighting or surveying...

2299: dunno 2300: Candy scale. You fill it with candy until it tips into the bag you hold to collect the candy in. 2301: dunno 2302: Stage spotlight.....for illuminating "The Star of the Show.....James Brown!!!" 2303: dunno 2304: Some type of slitter....probably for leather strips for making belts. Adjustable for width. Dave

2300 : A candle holder for a boat?

2302 : A theatre spot light, pointing to the floor.

"David" fired this volley in news:j0960c$78f$1 @dont-email.me:

I think 2299 is a rotor for a "shucker" of some sort. Not corn -- too short.

2300... a counting tray? Coins, pills? Load it, then tip to dump?

2301 no clue

2302 yes... an old "LeeCo" lamp? Maybe even carbon arc, considering the size of that vent cap.

2303 Combination egg cracker and yolk separator in one tool.

2304 paper folder (maybe an envelope maker) During the world wars, mail was often written ON the envelope paper - to save airmail weight - then the paper was folded up and sealed with the messages hidden inside. This looks to guide and crimp paper for a neat fold.

Exactly, The Highflyer EZCracker (as seen on TV)

This one isn't any type of sight or survey device.

Correct, although this light was used on a TV stage.

It's not part of a shucker, and it's probably a salesman's sample so the actual part would be larger.

I think this is correct, probably for pills.

Correct, as other people have also stated.

It's not used in this manner but it is related to paper.

#2302 An old ellipsoidal theatrical spotlight. 750w - 1kw size.

It's not for leather but you're on the right track.

2299- Is this a stove grate?

Rob, Rob, Friend...

TV lights ARE theatre lights... take it from a guy in the entertainment industry .

2299: By it's wear, shape, and ease of cooling, it is most probably a "cam". But for what?

Bill

#2299 revolving grate for a wood or coal stove. Turn the assembly and dump the ashes to the ash box.

#2301 Valve spring compressor for removing valve springs while the head is still on the engine.

Cliff

Looks like some old Hubbels that we used. It is missing the asbestos insulated leads, probably used a 1-2 KW lamp. Very inefficient beasts.

Stove grate is correct!

I hereby retract the word 'although' from my previous post. ;-)
