And 1222 looks like a type face cabinet. The heavy rollers help move the
very heavy lead filled drawers.

1222: drying rack for paintings, or silkscreens
1223: part of a defunct "lawn Jockey" or a mooring ring for a boat owner
with a sense of humor.

put in the pin in the bottom hole and lift the set?
1225: Checkering tool

I looked it up but still don't know if twisted rope is sometimes used to
hitch horses.
I thought horses were often tied by the reins, but I see it's not
recommended because a horse tied by the reins could injure its mouth if
spooked.
If you tied around a post, the rope could slide down. Then the horse
could hurt itself if it spooked and pulled back. That's probably a
reason hitching rings were popular.
It may be safest for the horse and bystanders to design a hitch to come
loose if the horse panics and pulls hard. This hitch seems to be
designed for the fingers to release the ring if pulled hard.
If you're tying a horse near a highway, or it's a horse that doesn't
panic but might pull loose to be contrary, you won't want a breakaway
hitch. I think this hitch uses a left hand to be visibly different, and
a left-hand thread so anyone who installs it will know it's peculiar.

I was walking through an antique mall looking for tools when I came across
this one, it was marked "old law office piece". It took more than a few
minutes for me to figure out what it was, I'll give another clue tomorrow if
no one gets it tonight. Each row of the wooden rods is six rods deep, they
cannot be removed but they can spin in place; vertically, there are three
inches between them.

Yes, I was thinking along these lines, it has some red paint left on it that
reminds me of a farm tractor, but I don't know how equipment was attached to
them.

Correct, it was for holding large documents but as seen in my photos it's
missing all eight drawers. This piece of office furniture is called a flat
file, the office where I work had a similar sized one made of metal, it held
engineering drawings that were 42" x 30".

Yes the photo had been mirrored, occasionally I'll flip one horizontally if
I think it looks better that way. The label in the thumb-nail is the price
tag that was attached by the thread, I didn't want the hitching ring enough
to pay $125 for it, so I just took a few shots and shopped out the thread
and label. I think that price tags in photos are distracting so I always
get rid of them.
I wasn't aware that jpg's have thumb-nails attached, what program do you use
to see them? I also didn't realize that my photos were being so closely
scrutinized, I'll have to keep that in mind when I create future posts. ;-)

My original was the same as the thumbnail that Merskeen posted, I've used a
couple different image editors and none of them have shown the embedded
photo so I had no idea it was there. I'll have to do some research and see
if there is a setting that determines what thumbnail you see. Yes, I used
Picasa to edit the photo, and I also used Paint to remove the thread and
tag.

Thanks, looks like Irfanview works pretty well, someone else emailed me and
recommended some freeware called "jhead" to do the same thing, but I haven't
had a chance to try it yet. Sorry, I had forgotten to post the original
image last night and was planning to do it tonight when I got home from
work, but I guess it won't be necessary now.

Hi Rob,
Irfanview, Xnview... and the other image editors I tried
don't display the embedded thumbnail. It must have been
pushed around inside a bit too (by Picasa?) because the exif
location for it has been slightly moved. I could hex-edit it
(thumbnail) from the file and then view it okay with other
programs. It looked to me like the thumbnail was actually
created in your camera when you took the picture.
If you happen to have the unadulterated image from your
camera for this image and want to send/post it somewhere I
could tell for sure.
Some of us get our clues anyway we can, so yes indeed your
images are well scrutinized :)

Here's a link that might be a clue to 1224:
http://www.antoninstallers.com/
There are 16 millwrights on the staff. Among other things, millwrights
connect shafts and pumps.
This company started in 1988, but perhaps Kintnersville had similar
enterprises long before. Perhaps some sort of machinery involving a
shaft or pump was built to be connected with two pins, and a millwright
decided a dual pin could do it better.
So he goes to Tool Sales Company, and the proprietor has a machine shop
make some, and millwrights far and wide buy them.

The cases for the Declaration of Independence and each of the first four
pages of the Constitution are about about 39 x 34". Was this cabinet
for handwritten legal documents? Blueprints are stored like that nowadays.

Maybe it screws backward to foil ring thieves and the left hand is so
ring repairmen would know which way to turn it.

1222 looks like an airing cupboard for rigid items. It might be good
for an art class's oil paintings or items a cabinet maker has treated
with linseed oil.
The depth is about the length of a pair of pants. At one time, a man's
clothes were normally aired but not washed. This was especially true of
woolens. One wouldn't iron something that hadn't been cleaned. When I
was a boy, we had metal frames to insert into pants legs. You'd clean
any spots on the fabric, insert the frames, possibly dampen the fabric,
and let them air. Spiffy pants without a trip to the dry cleaner's.
Perhaps other clothing was also once aired on stretch frames. This
cabinet looks big enough for a housewife or servant to do so with the
clothing for a household.
1224 The hole near one tip suggests that it was a linchpin with a
safety pin to keep it from coming out.
The ends are tapered and the top looks like it was made to be pried
loose. That makes me think it was to hold two pieces of machinery
tightly together. I wonder if it went around an o-ring connection for
fluid.

EXIF information is retained after editing. You can find many
photos on the web that don't match the EXIF thumbnail. If

It's not a killer mistake. The Rockler catalog has similar mistakes in it
as well. Look at the screws - some of them are pictured as having a left-
hand thread. This sort of thing happens all the time in advertising
because the photo editer thinks that view makes a better shot. The coffee
maker Bodum has a couple of web pages showing ice at the bottom of glasses
of iced tea.

Has the photo been horizontally flipped (mirror image?)
I copied and saved the photo just to examine it, and noticed the thumb-nail
of it is differently orientated and there is a yellow label attached with a
green string.
I don't understand this. If anyone would like to explain what is going on,
that would be nice.

Errm..., let me explain here that I am no expert or anything. I simply
copied your 1223 .jpg file and pasted it into "My Pictures" folder. In this
folder I have the view set to 'thumbnails' as opposed to 'icons' or 'list'.
I use windows XP Pro and IE 7 and to view the jpg image I use 'Windows
Picture & Fax Viewer' which came as standard I think.
The thumbnail (in the 'My Pictures' folder) shows string and label on a
right handed image, the jpg image doesn't. I could capture the thumbnail
image and post it somewhere, If there was any interest, I suppose. I want to
mess on with photobucket or something anyway to try and get to understand
how that works.
Anyway .... So somehow the information must be all in the jpg file
somewhere. After all on the jpg properties page it tells me what date and
time you took the image, what make and model of camera, the exposure rate,
and well all sorts apart from what you had for breakfast that morning ....
lol
I have no special programs I don't think, apart from what came built in.
I am no geek and for the most part don't understand computers, but I like
pushing buttons and dinging bells.

If it's a ring for tying up a horse then perhaps the thread is
intended to keep it from unscrewing as tension on the rope (remember,
a horse can exert a _lot_ of tension) tries to untwist the rope. Been
so long since I've seen a twisted rope that I forget which way the lay
usualy goes.

Hi Rob,
Okay, I took your original image from the question page and
used the "JPG Lossless Operations" in Irfanview (ver 4.00)
to strip out all such info. It seems to have removed all
thumbnails, exif, iptc and comments okay. Modified image can
be seen here:
http://www.iserv.net/~lfisk/handring.jpg
You can compare this version to your original if you wish.
Supposedly this is a lossless conversion using Irfanview (ie
it wasn't re-jpeged).
You may have a similar method in one of your software
programs.

Much too big for that; my first thought was a wine rack or a humidor

What does it screw into? My first guess was a corkscrew, but the screw
part of it clearly isn't big enough.

Part of a primitive penis enlargment device. ;-)

I thought it was for bringing up the nap on something, or maybe
something like carding wool. But the handle looks too short, and the
device too bulky for that.
Putting the lines in corduroy? :-)

1221: Wrong angle for a test tube holder, but perhaps a similar
function.
1222: Drying or cooling rack
1223: Decorative yet functional ring for hanging things on.
1224: A cable holder of some some sort; I have no idea what sort.
1225: Concrete texturing tool
1226: Darn odd looking thing.

Hi Rob,
I use Irfanview a lot for general viewing, format changing
and simple transformations. The latest version 4.10 has some
weird bugs though. Probably nothing that you would be
bothered by but I find quite annoying. So I have both 4.00
and 4.10 to choose from. See:
http://www.irfanview.com/
XnView is much the same and could easily be used just as
much. I just got used to using Irfanview and know the
keyboard commands better. See:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enhome.html
The full array of plugins for either of these is much larger
than the base program. I have pretty much all of the plugins
made for them too. Either program can use/run Adobe plugins
if you have some favorites.
Lossless Jpeg transformations is a plugin for either program
(part of their standard plugin array). Just be warned though
that it works on the original file being viewed and
overwrites same when applied. Make sure you have a backup
file or your original will be toast!

Well I signed up for photobucket, but haven't got it quite right yet. Looks
like I will have to give them more freedom to muck my computer about. One
step at a time though. Anyway this link seems to do partly what I wanted.

This is a gif image I captured of a jpg thumbnail. I know, I know .........
I certainly make things complicated for myself.
