What is it? Set 416

That's the first original post I've seen by yourself in months, so looks like ES have sorted it.

I believe #2412 is a blowtorch for use with a lead pot . Plumbers useta use them for making joints in cast iron drain pipes .

Glad to hear that they fixed the problem!

I did not do well on any of this puzzle's mysteries other than the blow torch I agree with Snag about the plumber's lead pot. Here is an overly simple picture:

Except that in this post you wrote something different (the comment about not having changed anything), so it wouldn't trigger the 'almost exact same post' filter. By stating that you didn't do anything different, you did something different. Heisenbug, indeed!

2410: A welders chipping hammer. It is missing the brush on the back. No question about it. The chisel end has been ground to a point, it is usually a straight chisel edge new.

I wonder if the #2411 is some type of carpet stretcher

Yep, found one on Ebay:

2410 appears to be a slag remover for a welder.

This is correct, some people also call it a welders slag hammer.

2412 is a blowtorch for use to preheat an old traktor engine:

I'm sure it could also be used by a plumber but according to the owner it was used for a different purpose other than soldering or melting lead.

2407: stirling cycle engine

Well i can see it Rob so it looks like it worked wooo hoo

Yes, the owner said it was for preheating the early Hit/miss oil field gasoline engines. Thanks for the link, I couldn't find another one of these torches on the web.

2407 - Stirling engine 2408 - Looks like the bar is to knock down whatever you are collecting with the tines. Hand collecting grain? 2409 - Best guess, a crimper for decorative metal foil ribbon. 2410 - Yup, Welder's Slag Hammer with a reground tip and no brush. 2411 - Wool carding hand tool 2412 - Vertical gasoline blowtorch - for a lead melting pot or other stationary uses.

2407 A couple of people have stated that this is a Stirling engine. I was led to discount that possibility because of 2 factors: Both cylinders seem to have cooling fins, while one cylinder of a Stirling engine is heated. The pistons, unless there is an interesting gear arrangement in the middle, seem to be 180 degrees out of phase, rather than 90 degrees for a Stirling engine. If this is a Stirling engine, can someone explain how it works?

I'd need to see it up closer, because that sure looks like an alcohol burner in the middle at first glance... but two cylinder Stirling with the hot sections common in the middle.
