Still recon it is for bicycles (May be traveling bicycles)
What other use would a traveler have for a bulky presumably not
extremely loud button activated alarm.I think they possibly named it
traveler just cause it sounded good at the time.
And here is a question.Do you know what this is?
Not sure how people normally submit such questions.

It may have been used with an early threshing machine. On early 20th century
machines the "scale" was all metal and measured in bushels.

I think you have the right general idea, this is part of someone's private

tell you any more about it, .

Good answer, it's printing proofs, before the work goes to the main press.

It's a stand but not for wine bottles.

That could work, but it wasn't the original use for the
device. It is a holder, and it does bolt to a shelf. Used
for displaying an item for sale.

It appears to be designed to bolt down to a table top (too

It's not button activated, the button opens it for battery replacement. The
alarm is activated by the sensor on the small end, I was thinking it was a
motion sensor, someone here had suggested it was a temperature sensor, and
then someone emailed me this:
"The last one is a temperature alarm.
The device at the end opposite the horn is a Therm-O-Disc thermostat which
opens or closes based on temperature.
Most likely it is set up to alarm at a particularily low temperature.
One could look up the model of the Therm-o-disc part to find its open and
close temperatures. Usually they have the temperature clearly written on
them."
But I don't see why a traveler would need a temperature alarm for a
"particularily low temperature." I took the photos at an auction so I can't
check the sensor for any text on it.

> Has the bottom of it got mounting holes?
The alarm has a clip on the bottom, around 3/4" wide, it could maybe fit on
something 1/2" thick at most, here is a rough sketch of it:

Too thin to fit a bicycle handle bar but I don't know what a traveler would
clip it onto.

From your sketch, it looks like it would clip nicely to a sun visor in
a car. Can't see any use to it there though.

I think it was a belt clip. When I was 16, I went by Greyhound from my
rural home to visit relatives at their farm 300 miles away. I'd have to
find my way from one bus terminal to another in the big city. To be
prepared I bought a wind breaker. Now I knew that if surrounded by a
gang of muggers in an alley, I'd be able to break wind.
A Traveler Alarm would provide similar confidence. Before walking down
a dark alley at midnight, the traveler would clip it to his belt. He
could proceed in confidence, knowing that in a split second he could
draw and beep assailants to death.
It would work just as well without a battery. Instead of submitting or
running, the traveler reaches for his belt and raises his fist with
something unidentified in it. The last thing a mugger wants is trouble,
so he excuses himself and leaves.
Most muggers will not even approach a traveler with a Traveler Alarm
under his coat. The traveler's confident smile will lead a mugger to
suspect that he has been taking a male enhancement product. Uncertain
what an enhanced male may have in mind when he walks down a dark alley
at midnight, the mugger will steer clear of him.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2197) To dispense any of five different grains (Wheat,
oats, flax seed, barley or grass seed) by volume.
I would really like to see more views of the mechanism to see
how it works. I would guess that each of the two crank
positions (yes, it can be moved to the lower shaft) moves a
partition on a gear type pump to meter out the grain. But I
would like to see how it prevents the grain falling out to the
sides of the limited area. Perhaps a disc with a cutout to
slide on the gear on each side. Looks as though the larger
pointer and crank move the wooden partition visible at the top
view,and I'm not sure what the smaller pointer moves with.
Perhaps a second partition? Perhaps the grass seed is poured on
the other side of the partition?
Are you going to post a patent when you post the answers?
2198) Hmm ... perhaps for measuring a collar size or the head size
of a human?
2199) Perhaps a printing press? Type goes in the tray on the bottom,
it gets inked, then a piece of paper attached to the roller is
rolled over the inked type to pick up an impression.
2200) I would like to see the back and bottom views of this. I have
two suggestions:
A) A powered brush attachment for a vacuum cleaner.
B) A set-top TV antenna or perhaps antenna rotator
controller (although I would expect compass directions
on the circle if that last were true.
2201) The angles seem a bit wrong, but it sort of looks like a stand
for storing an opened wine bottle, and pouring from it into
a glass. Perhaps for one of the rather oversized wine bottles,
or a big jug of cider? No -- with the given dimensions, not
large enough for that.
It appears to be designed to bolt down to a table top (too light
to hold position when pouring without that), or perhaps to a
wall, in which case the orientation is somewhat difficult to
predict.
2202) An electric horn to be bolted to the handlebars of a bicycle
or tricycle. Not very loud with only a single D cell powering
it. Sounded by a button on the back end. The apparent button
on the side serves to unlatch the cover so you can change the
battery.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
