trick question? I don't see a #186...
Hey Greg,
No, not a trick. The two photos captioned 186 came up on my screen OK. 3rd and 4th ones from the top. Still don't know what it is though. In fact, I don't "know" what many of them are, except 178 which is a soldering tip for a torch and 183 is a lock-nut for an electrical fitting, and maybe 180 is checker-plate. Is 182 a part of a toy noise-maker? Is 181 a "clicker" ( cleat ??) for tap-dancing shoes?
Take care.
Brian Laws>trick question? I don't see a #186...
182 is part of a kerosene lantern. The tips of the star wheels grasp the wick to raise and lower it. 181 is some kind of a shoe cleat. 179 is a single ice crampon for a shoe. 187 is some kind of weight that clips to a line - probably for a fishing net or such. 188 - some kind of medical or dental retractor? 178 - maybe a cake decorator nozzle?

184, adjustable bore gauge?
187, fishing weight.
I did see #186, but have no idea what it is.
By the way, very nice photos.

184 is a pipe reamer/cleaner.

181 Looks like an "oillite" or "Oil Lite" oil impregnated brass/bronze bushing pad.
Probably bolted to something and had some spinning part rest on it.

185 is a telco wire stripper
179 is a strap on cleat for walking on ice
182 is a wick feeder from an oil lamp
188 a pig tooth nipper? (I've always wanted to see what one of those was ever since hearing about one in an old magazine article...lol)

These three aren't, 181 is for shoes but not for dancing.

Thanks for the comments, hopefully someone will recognize 186, maybe I should offer prizes for tool ID's.
This one is for something totally different from that.
Rob
Yes
Correct
Nope
Looks just like a wire cutter to me:

It doesn't say telco on it, but it is for stripping and cutting wire. Any idea why there is foam rubber padding around the piece that connects the strippers to the cutter?
Correct, I paid a lot less for mine though.

Likewise, $3.00 at a swapmeet.
Right material?
