2419 This looks like a Check Protector embosser. Although the pattern looks a bit coarse, this looks like it was used to emboss a pattern over the amount of a check to prevent alteration.

This may be a bird call, or similar toy. The wooden rod is dusted with powdered rosin, and when inserted in the cylinder and twisted will make chirping sounds.

Good answer, the photo was taken at a winery.

Correct, it's an old mule mounted ballot box.

Someone buy this man a drink! It is indeed a glass for drinking whiskey with a chaser.

I think that this is probably correct.

If it was two pieces, I'd have said, "early coffee percolator without the internal tube thingie."

Rich Grise fired this volley in news:jbrkpo $kkl$ snipped-for-privacy@dont-email.me:

They weren't percolators, Rich, the were "Vacu-lators".

The water bubbled up through the tube under steam pressure. When it was removed from the heat, it was sucked back down through the coffee grounds.

I have owned both glass and stainless steel versions, and next to a _good_ drip coffee maker, they make the best brew around.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

2419) I have two options for this:

A) Stamped over a signature, to prevent erasing and re-signing by another party.

B) "Paper Welder" -- secures two or more sheets of paper together without metal staples or glue.

2420) Looks a little like some early coffee maker bowls, but way too small.

Perhaps a urine sample container, with the neck marking a specific volume.

2421) Perhaps a fixture for making the wooden sections of a wagon wheel which goes within the steel tire?

Otherwise -- for steaming wood to take a curve -- perhaps as part of a guitar or other musical instrument?

2422) High vacuum fittings and couplings -- the "ConFlat" style IIRC.

The only part which I don't see are the spacers with a groove for an O-ring to go between each pair of flats.

Nope -- not Conflat -- but another style, the KF style. (Which went by several other names, too). Look at this Wikipedia entry, the first photo:/

I've used both styles in the past.

2423) For when brass knuckles are not brutal enough?

Perhaps for meat tenderizing.

2424) Guesses below based on the proximity to the _Big Game Hunting_ book.

Perhaps for accessories for big game rifles -- ammo or similar things.

Or perhaps (though not very convenient) a carrier for a serious telephoto lens -- for big game hunting without killing.

Now to post, and then to go see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.
