Here are two items that were sent in a few weeks ago, anyone know what they're for?
- formatting link
- formatting link
Item 2422 are all Tri-clover type stainless steel pipe fittings as used in the beer,food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
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.

2419: notary embosser?
2420: Eye Washer
2421: ??
2422: Wire making jigs?
2423: Hay mover (Or a device not yet used in a movie or CSI show to kill some one)?
2424: v> Another set has been posted to the web site:
1: Cleavus hook for docked ships?
2: ??
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.
2420 is a "double bubble" whisky shot glass. Warm water is put in the lower portion, and the whisky goes in the top.
2422 are all sanitary tub> Another set has been posted to the web site:
2419: check embosser -- produces an embossed pattern over the dollar amount to prevent alteration.
2423: meat tenderizer

#2914 A staple-less (office) stapler?

Not a hyacinth vase then ?
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.
McDonalds or White Castle hamburger press/tenderizer??
If it was two pieces, I'd have said, "early coffee percolator without the internal tube thingie."
Cheers! Rich
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.
