2450 looks something like an antique chest latch, but larger and cruder. I
does look like it was meant to latch something that opens vertically or that
slides. The large hole makes me think it was meant to go on the base of a
knob.

I have a small box shaped like a pirate's treasure chest. It has a
similar latch, but mine is about 1". This part would be on the lid.
The 'hook' slides into a hole in the other part on the chest.
Or, I am completely wrong.

I would not be so sure unless you have actually seen it, seems a horse
trough would be much larger and deeper and taller. This thing really
only looks to be 12" wide and about 6 inches tall if in fact it is 6'
long. Looks more like a tray to catch water from a down spout on the
side of a house. The grass, twigs, and leaves make this thing look
relatively small.

Soooooo if it has a drain hole in a corner how would it hold water....?
Still looks like a gutter down spout tray to keep water from washing

It isn't for cleaning a weapon. I've posted other models of this tool
before.

looks like it would be useful for cutting strips, leather or possibly pasta

I was having trouble with the kinematics of this as a latch, because I
was thinking of the square thing near the 3.25 inch mark as a pivot.
But, if as anorton says, the thing pivots about the large hole, then it
makes sense. The square thing might be decorative or a detent bump.

You're on the right track, they aren't for weaving though they are basket
related.

The owner of it said that's why they're sloped, I don't know for sure if
expanding ice is a legitimate worry or not. One detail about it that I
forgot to mention is that it has a drain hole in the right corner.

Four of the six were correctly identified this week, the answers can be seen

I wonder if it was designed for making ice? Each trough might make 1500
pounds per night. The season would be longer and the harvesting easier
than with a pond.

In addition to preventing freeze damage, the sloped sides could allow
extraction. The farmer would probably line the concrete with something
smooth and slick. He'd lay a chain across the bottom near each end.
He'd fill the trough with water and when it froze, jack up the block at
each end with the chains, rest it on boards across the trough, and break
it with a chisel.

I think the idea is that the hole would be normally plugged and then they
would unplug it for draining before adding fresh water.

Ok, I'll add your name to the growing list of those who don't believe it's a
horse trough. ;-)

Sounds like that would work, though I guess at this point it would be
difficult to prove this theory, the owner had been told it was a horse
trough when he bought it but I'm always open to other ideas if there is
evidence for them.

So far I haven't found concrete ice forms, but here are instructions to
make ice in iron pans.
http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library/device/devices10a.html

They're from Ralph Cobleigh's "Handy Farm Devices and How to Make Them,"
copyright 1909. Natural ice was still a valuable product. What a
farmer couldn't use, he could sell.

It seems to me that depending on the temperature, it could take blocks a
long time to freeze solid in pans 12" deep on a wooden table. The
farmer might end up storing blocks that were liquid in the center. If
there's frost in the ground, water 3" deep in a concrete trough should
freeze solid much more reliably overnight. If it's not frozen solid
when the farmer hoists and breaks it, he can drop it and let it finish
freezing.

Hydraulic cement was first made in America in 1818. Use expanded after
the Civil War.

2449 honey server, for people who love BIG cups of coffee
2450, you posted something like this, years ago. The hole slips over an
index or other finger, and the hook is used to move threads on a loom.
2451 Herman Munster's paint roller tray. d'uh!!
2452, an early holder for "tacky finger" or other secretarial product.
2453 used in doing plaster bandage, such as a doctor would use.
2454. These are used by stone cutters. How much would you pay for this set?
149.99? No! Not that much. How about $119.99? No, not that much! And we'll
even throw in the tomato slicer, and the onion dicer, for no extra charge.
And now, how much would you pay for this?

I think that I need help on the rest. :-)

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

2449) Does it have bearings so the grooved object will
rotate freely on the handle?

If so, it might be for guiding running ropes onto the proper
pulley.

2450) A release probably for two ropes (lines) or perhaps chains
in lifting or load binding. The upper chain is through the eye,
and the hook on the lower fits through an eye on a lower line,
or a link in the chain. The projection to the right is to
balance it so if the line goes slack for a moment, it won't
release.

2451) Perhaps the cap to a burial enclosure (to hold the coffin
and protect from underground critters), though it is a bit
small for holding a full sized coffin.

2452) Perhaps one of the rings holding a military rifle of some age
together?

2453) Perhaps for scooping grain -- and for opening a container using
the notch shown in the second photo?

2454) Chisels for stonecarving?

Now to post this (somewhat late -- I was completing a project)
and then see what others have suggested.

Enjoy,
DoN.

And it appears that your end was imposing bandwidth limitations
on it -- because it took me a lot longer than I expected with a T1 feed
to download each.

Aside from that -- you're releasing lots of information about
your camera by posting an un-edited photo. Here is some of what is in
the exif data on one of those photos:

======================================================================

These, selected out of 206 total lines.

One of the lines mentioned Microsoft in there, so perhaps you
did edit it, but not using a program which would remove the original
exif data. It looks as though it was modified about six hours after it
was taken, which implies some out-of-camera processing.

In particular, the mention of the camera and lens serial numbers
might make it easier for someone to claim that you have stolen their
camera -- or to find it if it happened that you had stolen the camera
from someone else -- which I don't expect.

So -- the use of a program which can be told to sanitize the
exif data might be a good idea. Whether your program can be told to do
that, or whether you need another program for that, I don't know. I
actually have to take special steps to keep the exif data in the
processed image.

Enjoy,
DoN.
