What is it? XCII

Looks like I get first crack at them this week. A first for me.

1. A press of some sort. Fruit?
2. Closing joint of a ring in a 3 ring notebook
3. Moisture meter for potted plants.
4. ??
5. Trigger pumped oil can.
6. Boot hook for pulling them on.

Maybe a refractometer?

The first is a lard press

A refractometer is an optical device, not electronic. It refracts light through water and a prism to give a reading on an internal scale. Use one all the time for the salt water tank. However, it could be an electronic PH, temp, salinity, redux, or ?? meter. Not a brand name I'm familiar with for aquarium use, so I think its use and purpose is elsewhere.

I think 3 is a battery cell tester for the old type car battries.

527 I think Kevin is right - lard press. 528 yup, binder ring joint 529 Cheeks by Hanna: a low-rent proctologist's instrument 530 insulation stripper for heavy electrical cable? 531 gorgeous oil can; I want one! 532 companion to 529

Naw, it's gotta be a large animal vet's rectal thermometer.

not a refractometer, that's for sure.

#527 looks like a cheese press

#529 Some sort of digital thermometer?

#531 Oil can?

527 - Grape press for wine making 528 - Chain link guide 529 - Digital thermometer 530 - ??? (nut cracker?) 531 - Oil pump to lubricate your lathe and stuff 532 - Lifting bails of hay and cotton 521 - Victorola needle to pick up sound from records, can be used to make wax recordings also. 522 - Grinding wheel dressing tool 523 - Cope on a cope and drag tool for casting 524 - The tool you use to insert rubber trim into extruded frames for screen doors to hold screen in place. 525 - Height adjuster for the upside-down leg 526 - Looks like something used on an overhead conveyor to carry something through a process... maybe at a slaughter house?

According to todd :

You mean #529? I don't think so, because it appears to have an LCD readout, and those aren't old enough to go with the old batteries.

Enjoy, DoN.

#3 is a hanna either ph meter or TDS Meter (Total Disolved Solids) for water testing

I would have called it a squeezer for pork cracklings. (Same thing, just coming from a different place . . )

That's a Hanna pH meter. We use them at work. Dan

That's right

It is an early prototype of the Orgasmatron 660.

Otherwise known as a spline tool. I just wore mine out, literally, courtesy of hurricane Wilma. I would not have thought something that simple could wear out.
