1911 seems to be for holding an animal in position, but not for pre-
takeoff of some sort. The 'entrance' (?) has a restraining chain &
strong catch/latch, the bracings are iron plates, the posts have big
eye bolts, and the board above the entrance may not be suitable for a
take-off of, say, a ridden/bucking horse. My best guess would be a
holder for castrating an adult bull or horse.

The case kind of reminded me of the older style syringe setups. They
used a glass cylinder for the barrel of the syringe. Who knows.

Now guessing, 1910 reminds me of an old Pocket Warmer. Closing the case
and pushing the "plunger" started material smoldering for heat. 1911 seems
like a Chute that would be used to dehorn Cattle.

was used for.
1911: Horse shoeing stock

The lid is spring loaded, the stud is the catch that holds the lid closed.
there is no spring in the knob. The opposite end from the knob is just a
round piece of metal with a treaded hole, a rod from the knob holds it
together. The bump is a rivet that doesn't do anything.

There is no real way for tobacco to get into the U shaped piece on it's own.
You will note that there are holes in that part, which are quite sharp on
the inside. If you drive a nail through a piece of sheet metal, you will get
the same effect on the exit side.

Yes, the reason I used that particular link was that it was the only one I
could find with an image of a grain auger.

You definitely ain't a gonna' do more than one in that crate. :)
Horseshoeing or similar _relatively_ benign tasks are the forte of this
puppy. You want a full solid kick panel behind when castrating (btdt
which is one reason why we ran heifers... :) )

Fragrance! The princess tells James Bond that she wishes the king
hadn't put up "no smoking" signs, for she loves the smell of Prince
Albert. So Bond puts Prince Albert in the case and puts the case in the
inner pocket of his suit coat, over his right breast. Before
approaching the princess, he pulls the plunger. As he breathes, the
fragrance fills the air around him. The princess answers all his questions.
I've got it
1910
Who ever said it was for filling pipes is right.
They are for something called Tobacco Cartridges.
I have smoked a pipe for years and I never heard of such a thing.
I hope these links work.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1909) Stylus pressure gauge for phonograph tone arm. A good one
(and good pickup) can work down into the black zone below one
gram (and produce much less wear on the record and the stylus.)
Pretty good ones will still be below 2 grams.
Old ceramic or crystal pickups were often as high as eight or
ten grams and really accelerated the wear on both the record and
the stylus.
1910) This is purely a guess, but it looks to me to be associated
with tobacco use.
The plunger packs tobacco in the cylindrical cavity (as well as
unlocking the case.
The flat clips to either side look as though they were designed
to hold rolling papers.
But the diameter of the plunger suggests that it might be for
loading a measured amount of tobacco into a pipe.
I would like a view from the hinge edge with it closed to see
whether that is open or closed. It sort of looks as though the
disk on the end of the plunger may seal an open end.
So -- is it for delivering measured amounts of tobacco to a
pipe, or to rolling papers?
1911) Hmm ... looks sort of like an individual stall for practicing
bull riding (as is practiced in rodeos).
It could also be a starting stall for horse racing.
In either case, it restrains the animal and rider until a
starting time.
1912) A "crane" for holding a cooking pot over a fire -- pivoted from
the back or side of a large fireplace.
It looks as though this one was made by a blacksmith, not a
commercial product.
1913) Whetstone for a pocket knife -- in a case for pocket carrying.
It could also be used for touching up an axe in the field, or
other similar edged tools.
1914) At a guess -- some sort of plunger for a churn?
If it were not for the fact that the spiral reverses about 5/8
of the way along I would suggest that it was something to be
towed behind a boat to drive a "log" (a rotation counter to give
a measure of the distance traveled.
However -- the reversal of the spiral seems designed to cause
turbulence, thus a churn dasher seems to be a better guess.
Now to see what other have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

me that if it *was* used as a flour auger (as the link suggested) that

I still think that it was for carrying loose tobacco and either
delivering it into the bowl of a pipe, or for delivering it into "rolling
papers", which would be stored under the spring straps in one side of
the case (either side of the plunger travel.
If for a pipe, it would deliver a pre-measured load into the
bowl without even having to open the case. If for making hand-rolled
cigarettes, you would have to open the case to extract a paper, but then
you would close it and a stroke of the plunger would deliver a
pre-measured amount of tobacco onto the paper ready for rolling.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I submitted 1910, the hinge side is an open hole when the case is closed,
and the plunger withdrawn. There is no sign of tobacco use, or that it was
subjected to heat of any kind. I don't think it was a pocket warmer.
