What is it? XLVIII

Nope

Both correct

This one isn't a box, you might want to recheck the dimensions

The metal is 3/16" diameter, probably too thick for sculpting clay.

All correct

It's not part of a box

Correct, except the embosser is not a corporate seal, these were part of last week's set.

Yes

This one isn't a sprinkler

Nope, not a waterer.

It's probably reproduction of a lithograph, though I'm looking for the term used to describe the entire object, not the print.

Nope

I have no idea what this one is though I think it might be used in the kitchen. Still researching this one...

All correct

Neither of these is right

271 is a dual bottle washer.

I'm still not sure about this one

Probably too small for that, the opening on the bottom is 3/16"

Both correct

This one is made of glass and is back-lit in the photo, it's not a coaster.

Nope

These are from last week's set and are all correct.

Probably too big for that, or maybe for very large bottles.

This one is not a bell

Correct

Could be, I was hoping someone here could tell me what it is and have a link to verify it.

These are correct

Your right that it's not an orange peel...

Yes but I'm looking for a more specific term for it

Nope

Correct

Yes, though on the package was written a four word description of this one, and "cap" was not one of the words.

Both correct

from rec.ww

#266: this is irritating, I know I've seen that, but can't remember in what context.

#267: Nut (fastener) that theoretically isn't supposed to work loose. Usually comes with cheap toys.

#268: Looks like a syringe needle for animal medication, although the offset is a bit odd.

#271: Looks like some sort of distillation apparatus from a chemistry lab

rec.ww again.

#268: I didn't mean it! In my last post, I erroneously said this looked like a syringe needle, I failed to read the dimensions. It's a bayonet.

As I was one who has made this suggestion, I should state that I am reading/responding in rec.crafts.metalworking.

266) Some kind of tool for lifting hot objects. It might engage the slots in old cast-iron wood burning stoves for lifing out the covers for placing individual cooking containers. 267) A formed acorn nut -- designed to be used to keep clothing or parts of a person from snagging on the end of the bolt sticking through the nut.

High-quality ones are machined from a single piece of metal, polished, and plated with chrome or nickel.

This one was formed by folding petals of sheet steel over a standard hex nut.

268) Rifle bayonet. I don't recognize the rifle from the design, but it *might* be a Revolutionary War or Civil War period piece. 269) Wood model airplane propeller, shot end on. This one is for an engine which turns clockwise as viewed from behind the engine. There are ones made for CCW operation as well. 270) Hmm ... perhaps an image made by removing the silvering from a mirrored piece of glass, and then backing it with a black background? If so, there is probably a fancy term for the process, which I do not know. 271) Hmm ... it looks as though it screws onto a hose. At a guess, with reasonable water flow, the bent wire pieces spin, spraying water all around the device. Thus it would be for cleaning something fairly large -- perhaps the size of air conditioning ducting or larger, with a serious flow of water beating against the walls.

Enjoy, DoN.

P.S. I see that I was looking at item 260 the wrong way around. What I thought was a bayonet to attach it to a shaft is actually the cutting end. :-)

Now to see what others have said.

261. An "embosser" used to put a raised pattern "seal" on a letter, envelope, or check. My dad has a similar one.

Yes, it's a nut but it came from the hardware store so I guess that they're used for other things besides toys.

Your second answer, in your follow-up post is correct.

This one isn't part of a distillation apparatus.
