1215. Specific purpose was to sell it and make money for the company. ;) 1216. Cannister for film reels. 1217. Clapboard slick. 1218. Possibly a paint pot. 1219. No idea. Looks like a lens setup, but I don't think lens optics have anything to do with it. 1220. Probably double-ended pliers for stretching canvases for painting. R
Hehehe Ever tried putting a match to steel wool?

The fine stuff burns. What was found in the bowl was described as steel wool. If it was in there when there was fire in the bowl, I guess it didn't burn.
1220 is a pair of plow share tongs. They hold both ends of the share at the same time. I have a pair that are almost identical. They make the share (shear) much easier to hold under the power hammer when sharpening.
