What is it? CCXVI

1207 appears to be a Stanley FatMax utility bar 55-119, which you should be able to find on the shelf at Home Depot.

1208 looks like a dandy little windlass for some purpose or other. Maybe for securing a load? The principle is very similar to a strap clamp.

IIRC, if the hammer is simply turned over the name would be all over it.

But that would make it easy then, wouldn't it?

R.H. couldn't have that.

Just discovered this blog. Been going thru the archives. Knew some of them but not most. #1206 Looks like a sewing machine attachment #1207 You can buy these at any hardware store. Its made by Stanley tool. Not sure what they call it. Great for small demo work. #1208 Some kind of Windlass for lifting things.

1203: Fancy magic eight ball 1204: Brace. Short end against a wall, long end against whatever you're holding up 1205: Doesn't look like it would work for anything tougher than cardboard 1206: Looks like part of a sewing machine 1207: Another multi-tool. Hammer, prybar, nail-puller, and wrench. The wrench probably indicates who is expected to use it, hopefully someone else recognizes it. 1208: OK, you hang the hook on something, hang something else on the loop, and you have a ratcheting handle. Presumably used for winding rope, tied through the hole. But what it's for? I dunno.

If they're _that_ valuable, I've got a Gordian Milling Machine waiting.
