#2593: I eventually noticed it could be adjusted for square, much like a steel square. This leads me to the shallow guess that it could be a jig.
#2594: Guess: A grip to be used by a blacksmith? He might use it to help keep track of a small piece of steel in the forge and while working it?

2596. Looks like the claw at the base of a chainsaw bar. I don't know what it's called. Karl
2593, can't think of the offical name for it. But, it's a frame used for holding movable type, for a printing press.
2594, no clue.
2595, no clue.
2596, someone else mentioned chain saw bar. Devices similar to this were bolted to the front of a chain saw body. It allowed the operator to put more down force on the saw bar, to cut faster.
2597. no clue.
2598, no clue.
Hey, that's a good set. You really found some new ones.

2594, this could be pounded into wood, and then a rope through the ring. Used to pull logs, for example.

2594 As the po> I need some help with the second last one this week:
2598 looks like part of a set of switchpoints for a garden railroad or mining carts or pushcart tracks of some kind, seems as though it would only work with double-flanged wheels and maybe a nudge a5t the right time actuallt selects the path taken.

2593: I think it might be a paver mold.
2594: Log pull. For driving into the bark of a log at the end to pull it, usually by horses, now by winch..
2598: Track joiner for two sets of track coming together, either for warehouse, lumber yard, or mining operation. Some used carts, others flats.
Rob, it looks like you said 6 inches, but could this be 6 feet?
It looks like the back of a trolley car in the mines or warehouse. The pin could go in and it would hold. But to prevent the pin from being removed the latch could be swung , the pin inserted, then the latch made firm around a notch in the pin.
Would be great to see a shot from the p> I need some help with the second last one this week:
2593 -
2594 -
2595 -2596 - Bark teeth for a chain saw.
2597 -2598 - Track intersection for old floor mounted rail systems. Could be auto plant or similar.
2593 - Gluing or Welding clamp assembly for making square legs or posts from 4 planks (hollow post) and/or laminated wood - or two lengths of angle iron welded on the edges.
Or itty-bitty picture frames...
Only one size, but on a production line that's what you want - and about 100 of them churned out in bulk. They need to set while the glue dries.
2594 - scribing divider. Slightly adjustable.2595 - Hmmm, 15 sections... Nothing past general order-picking, or 15 colors of bulk skeins of embroidery floss...
2596 - Looks like the Dog Teeth on a chainsaw, under the motor - Pull up against the log and it pulls the chain down for hogging.2597 - Wagon tailgate latch? 1871 would have to be an enclosed cargo horse-drawn wagon.
2598 - Trolley Wire frog for a light rail streetcar. For the wheel-tip trolley poles. But no clamp for the Wye-side wire...-->--
Correct, it's an attachment for a chainsaw.
Yes, it's a marker or scribe for a particular purpose.
Correct, it was for use with mining carts.
It sure resembles a "cotter pin"-- a big one (!), maybe for use on a steam powered engine, like on a train?
Bill
The person who sent the photo asked his friend who owns it for the length but hasn't heard back yet. He thought it was around 6 inches but it could be a little larger, I don't think it's six feet long but it's hard to say for sure. If I hear from him I'll let everyone know.
Rob
I don't think jig is the correct term for it but it _was_ used for holding something, the patent states it's was to be used "in **** cutting".
I can see where it might be a useful guide for topping 4x4 fence posts.

#2597 My SWAG is that it is half of an old door lock. Maybe for a garage door, or similar.
