Hey Don, posting from rec. woodworking, I just want to say that I look
forward to looking at your posts each week. Sometimes you get it. And
sometimes you miss by a mile. But you TRY!. You give it a shot. And what
is most pleasant, is that you give some background and logic behind each
answer. Right or not, I always enjoy listening to someone think.
You are a good guy in my book. Regardless of those individuals who lack the
style and class to appreciate the process involved in trying to divine the
function of arcane tools. I grew up around those kinds of tools. We
adapted horse drawn farm equipment to pull behind a tractor. And we often
made or adapted old tools for a new purpose. I can relate, very well. And
I particularly relate to the mental gymnastics involved in trying to solve a
problem with some simple tools and a limited capacity to make new tools.
I got a few of them right. And I feel good about that. I think anybody who
likes tools can appreciate this little weekly puzzle. Don't pay attention
to the rogue's gallery. You are doing it right in my book.

Don is a good guy, and he is telling people which group he's part of,
becasue the thread is crossposted to three newsgoups.
news:rec.crafts.metalworking
news:rec.puzzles and
news:rec.woodworking
Some people should never be let out ot their mother's basement. :(

2702: A tape 3/4" wide could be fed under the hinge and along the
channel. Now if you close the lid and pull from the hinge end, the tape
won't slide easily because the tooth will keep it bent against the
corner. If you pull the tape from the tooth end, the tooth will lift,
allowing the tape to slide easily.
So it could be a one-way brake for a tape. How about the kind of ribbon
used to make bows? If the person making bows threaded the ribbon
through this weight instead of pulling it directly from the spool, the
end would stay put instead of "recoiling" when he pulled out a length
and cut it off.

Well sounds like it would work for that, not sure if it's right or not but
hopefully we'll get an answer for it and find out. Text on this device is a
man's name and then the word stainless, it was purchased at an estate sale
where there were a lot of cigar items and a large number of vintage medical
tools.

I took the photos over a month ago and don't remember if the hooks turn in
the same direction or not. I'll ask the owner of the device and will report
what he says.

Ah, re-purposed! In WWII, there were three USAAF training bases in
western Iowa. I wonder if this was a training device for a bomber
crewman. Navigator? Gunner? It becomes obsolete and a farmer gets it.

A one-handed postage-stamp dispenser! Most take two hands.
The standard size for a US stamp is 3/4 x 7/8". The groove is about
3/4" wide.
It appears that the whole thing weighs about a pound, to keep it from
sliding when you pull. The lid appears to weigh about 5 ounces, half of
which would weigh on the end with the tooth.
The dispenser would have to be a couple of inches above your desk top so
you could tear off a stamp by pulling down. It would sit on a little
box containing stamps. One roll would feed the hinge end (back) of the
dispenser.
The tooth is about 1/6" long. As the dispenser sits ready, the first
stamp would extend perhaps 1/4" below the tooth. The weld on the back
of the tooth would press the stamp against the edge of the base with
about 2.5 ounces. Because the lid would hold the strip of stamps flat
against the bottom of the groove, the the stamp would be bent fairly
sharply over the edge of the base.
If you lift the end of the stamp, it lifts the tooth and the bend in the
stamp relaxes, allowing it to slide. When the perforation is past the
tooth, you pull downward. The lid comes down, squeezing the second
stamp around the corner. You rip off the first stamp. The second stamp
is ready to grab.
Ripping off a stamp with one hand allows you to keep smoking your cigar.
When colleagues admire the workmanship of your dispenser, you show them
your name.
>2706 is a rope maker.
Good answer, this is correct. No luck yet on the two mystery items but
I have a video on the answer page that shows a rope maker in use:

2702: Do they still sell lickable postage stamps in rolls? It wouldn't
work with modern stamps, sold on a backing strip.
If a roll of lickable stamps is not available, the owner could test it
with a strip of paper cut to the right width. I think a roll was 7/8"
wide.
If he pulls out on the end of the strip, I think it will slide past the
rounded tooth. If he pulls down, I think the lid will act as a brake by
bending the paper sharply. This would allow the user to tear off the
first stamp at the perforation using only one hand.
> Do all the hooks turn in the same direction when the crank is

I heard back from the owner of it, he said they all turn in the same
direction. Also, I just changed my answer for 2703 from trip hammer to
swedge creaser based someone's comment and further research.

I don't know if they still sell stamps in rolls or not, but I'll send your
answer to the owner along with a few of these other guesses:
-for bending a small piece of metal
-prying off can lids
-opening a pocket knife blade

Yes, maybe that's why it occrured to me (reed cutter being in a recent
set). My final guess is a hinge for something heavy duty (like a safe).

Why do you think anyone gives a flying fuck about where you are posting from
and what bizarre anal retentive mental malady requires you to start every
answer in here with those same words? Is it some sort of OCD thing like
washing ones hands fifty times a day or do you think the sun might not rise
next morning if you don't start every post with that particular sentence?
Haven't been home much this weekend so I'm late putting in my two cents
here, but I agree with those who said they enjoy reading DoN's guesses.
People have been sending in some difficult items, even when we don't get
answers I ususally email the guesses to the owner. I certainly don't have
all the answers so I appreciate everyone's help. Keep up the interesting
posts DoN!

2701) Hmm ... basket for collecting something like strawberries
on a hillside? Stick the spikes into the hillside to keep the
basket in place?
2702) A tool to make an L-shaped bend in the end of a narrow strip
of thin metal? (Not sure what for -- but that is the only thing
which makes sense to me. I was thinking of it for making the
cut and the clamped end of a Clarinet reed or the like, but the
projection is not sharp enough for that to be likely.
2703) Not sure what it is is to make, but it is an accessory to
an anvil. The square projection on the bottom goes into the
"Hardie hole" on an anvil. (Or is the square one the "Prichard
hole"?
At a guess, it is a chisel mounted relative to a guide, so you
can cut a strip of steel to a fixed width.
2704) I think that it has been re-purposed at some time. The part
on the right (except for the graph held in it) looks like it is
to crank film through to view or project multipile images.
Hmm ... then again -- especially given the shutter with two holes
in the last images but one -- it might be for testing eyes to
fit glasses.
2705) Perhaps for making a row of holes in thin sheet metal, and
perhaps then folding over the punched metal to join to a second
sheet?
Or perhaps for making holes at a constant spacing to allow
lacing the ends of a wide leather belt together to make a
continuous drive belt for machine tools.
2706) A tool for winding twine or small rope.
Do all the hooks turn in the same direction when the crank is
turned, or do alternate ones turn in the opposite direction?
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Thanks. That doesn't make much difference in it being a rope
maker, though it might be for braided rope with half the hooks
counter-rotating -- and would require quite a bit of extra hand
operations too.

There was a reed cutter in a recent set -- perhaps just the last
one. This one does not have a sharp enough edge on the movable part to
work for reeds in my opinion.

I don't say that in *all* postings -- or even in all postings in
this newsgroup -- just in the initial set of guesses to each set of
puzzle photos.
Since this puzzle set is *always* cross-posted to three newsgroups:
rec.crafts.metalworking
rec.puzzles
rec.woodworking
and since I once requested that others also post where they were from,
so I could try to figure out which group got the greatest number of
identifications of puzzle objects (pure curiosity), I do as I requested
others to do. (The usenet headers only show that it is cross-posted to
the three newsgroups, not which group a given individual posted a given
followup in.) If the headers included that information, I would not
have needed to ask.
Since you think that I *always* post that line, you must be
reading this in one of the other two newsgroups, so you don't see most
of my other postings -- just those related to the puzzle set. (And, you
don't notice that I don't use that line when commenting on other's
suggestions. :-)
After all -- different types of objects are more likely to be
guessed (or positively identified) by someone in a particular newsgroup
related to the type of object. I expect metalworking tools to be more
often identified by people from rec.crafts.metalworking.
If you don't like to read that line once per week, you can
always killfile me. And if you can't be a bit more polite in the
future, I may do just that with you.
Is this a sufficient answer?
DoN.

Thanks. I like to give my thinking process on the puzzles, in
part so others can perhaps work from what I suggest to get even closer to
the answer. (And I tend to usually hit the newsgroup late enough so it
is likely that someone else has already given the correct answer, which
is why I post before I read on -- or read the suggestions posted at the
end of the puzzle blog.)
Only rarely is it something which I recognize right off. (And
sometimes I even am misled by the color in the photos -- sometimes
making wood look like metal or vise versa. :-)

Quite often I can use what I see in the puzzles as starting
points for solutions to my own problems.

Why do you think anyone gives a flying fuck about where you are posting from
and what bizarre anal retentive mental malady requires you to start every
answer in here with those same words? Is it some sort of OCD thing like
washing ones hands fifty times a day or do you think the sun might not rise
next morning if you don't start every post with that particular sentence?
