What is it? Set 462

Hello All,

The last one ( 2688 ) seems to be a device to keep angles steady when sharpening a drill bit on a grinding wheel

Ist the Door at 2683 for quick access to a weapon?

2683 to carry golf clubs.

It is where you put your golf club bag

I'll second that.

Agreed. The 59 degree marking makes this pretty definite as that is the most common grinding angle for twist drills for drilling steel (118 degrees included angle) although wider and narrower angles are used for some materials and the other marked angles would cover these.

There should probably be a top clamp for the drill bit to stop it moving but this seems to be missing.

Wild Guess ...

2687 - Upholsterer's webbing stretcher

I need some help on the last one in this set:

The car>>>My uncle had one similar. Rumble seat and that small side door. In

1932 he would take me and his son rabbit hunting in Colorado. Could slide the rifles in that small door between looking for fields to hunt on. The son left a round in the chamber and when we hit a deep dip in the road the gun fired and put a hole in the little door. Lesson learned>. never leave a round ready to fire in the chamber. WW

Thanks, I have confirmed that drill bit jig is correct. The door in the car is not for weapon.

Yes, this car was on display at a museum and they said the door was for golf clubs.

It's not for stretching upholstery but is used in a similar fashion.

The fact that an iron is visible in the enlarged photo gave it a way.

I'm going to guess 2687 is for stretching leather or fabric for upholstery work?

2686: A pair of these handles could be used to hang a open burlap sack of feed. If you leave the sack on the floor, rodents can get it, the limp sack will probably spill feed, and you have to bend over to scoop feed. If you dump it in a can, you may spill feed and you may breathe a lot of dust.

You'd clamp one of these to each side of a burlap sack near the top. Then you'd hang them with the ears on horizontal bars about 12" apart. The bottom of the sack should be at least 12" off the floor. Then open the sack. If the handles are 12" apart along the bars, the opening will be 8 x 12".

I didn't even notice that iron, I had shopped out a really obvious wooden club but didn't look close enough to see the iron in the background. Here is the original before I shopped out the wood:

Your first guess is correct, it's for particular form of leather work.

Sounds like that would work but according to the patent it's not for holding burlap sacks.

I should have mentioned that this item is part of a countertop machine.

2683, on a car this age, the door is for selling moonshine. 2684 Elks club ashtray. 2685, totally no clue 2686, just guessing. This is for displaying quilts, the pointy things grab the fabric, and the handle allows hanging it up. 2687, a carpet stretcher 2688, someone else wrote it was a drill bit sharpener holder. I think this correct. Not the fireworks launcher, that I was going to write.
