Here is a patent applicatioin for a crack weeder tool that looks very much
like the other but with no wheels.

Ive deprimed many shotgun shells with a nail. I dont think Ive ever
seen a Berdan primed one. That..would be an interesting situation.
Ive forced primers to go off both accidently and intentionally many
many times...when I was much younger. I learned early, how dangerous
they can be if intentionally abused.

By the look of the device I think it preceeds the tubes.

2989 is a common form of cauldron made by coppersmiths up until the 20th
century. It could have been used for anything from dying cloth to rendering
whale blubber.
I think 2991 is for measuring o-rings.

It looks as if the tool would measure o-rings 38-44mm in diameter.

It appears that the scale increments are about 1/16", so it would
measure the belt in increments of 1/8".
If the scale is for o-ring diameters, it comes out nicely to increments
of 1mm.

I'll ask the owner of it to measure the increments to see what they are. No

Looks like the case is held only by a short notch
on the side away
from the pivot point. The tool point is pressed
into the primer and
then the case is pivoted out leaving the primer on
the tool. That's
how I see it anyway.... ;>)}

Yes, that's exactly how it works. It's for Berdan type primers.

Thanks Leon! Excellent job on finding these patents, the second one looks very
close so I added it to my answer for this tool. I'll forward this patent on to
the owner of it.

The capper part of 2993 does kind of resemble a Whitney Punch, but the tool is
definitely a shell capper/decapper.

The crack weeder does look similar to the lawn edger, I think the biggest
difference between the two is the weeders have more of a V shape and the edger
is
more rounded like a U.

Here is the reply from the owner, the link below has a close-up of the company
name.
"The tool measures in millimeters. The scale goes from 36mm to 44mm. These
numbers match the actual diameter of the circle as it is enlarged. It looks to
me like it measures something which has just a size variance of these 8 mm. It
would need to be something that is more ridged than an o-ring or a belt. The lip
in the lower part of the "calipher" is only 1/16 in. The tool measures the
inside diameter of a pipe, tube,or?? The name appears to be STACO but not sure."

O.K. Posting from the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking
as always. Where are the rest of you posting from -- there are three in
the cross-posting list above.
2989) Hmm ... I would be interested to see photos of the interior of
the cauldron.
If it is bare copper, then I would suggest that was is for
handling large batches of laundry -- in pre washing-machine
days.
Hmm ... also perhaps from an old whaling ship, used for
rendering the blubber into whale oil. A cast-iron one would
both weigh too much to be practical on shipboard, and be too
vulnerable from rusting from the salt spray.
However, if it has been coated on the inside with tin, it could
be likely be for large scale food preparation. (Perhaps for
cooking two or three missionaries at a time? :-)
The port in the dark area near the bottom is interesting, but
given the size, you can't just tip it over to empty it. :-) And
if it is for rendering whale oil, it would give an easy way to
decant it into barrels for storage -- with some form of valve to
turn on and off the flow.
What is that warning to the bottom right of the image? A "Do
not clean"?
2990) This is rather large for the purpose, but it is somewhat like
the mounting bracket for floor lamp shades.
2991) A tool for measuring the inside diameter of a loop of some
flexible material, such as perhaps an automotive V-belt.
Put the round "puck" inside the belt, squeeze the handle and the
plunger together, and read the belt size from the scale on the
shank.
Hmm ... markings from 36 to 44 -- obviously not inches. With
about 5" of length, perhaps something close to 1" diameter for
the closed puck, or 25.4 mm -- so make it 25mm, and the scale
does not start until the marker on the shank has moved about the
equivalent of one unit or a bit less. So -- if that "36" is mm,
then fully closed it is something like 35mm diameter, which
would call for a diameter of about 11mm which is a lot too small
based on the rest of the image, so the units are not mm.
Maybe make it tenths of an inch, so a fully closed 1" diameter
would be just a bit over 31 tenths, or 3.1" So -- lacking other
units to work with, let's call it tenths of an inch. And the
belts are perhaps a reasonable size for drive belts in cassette
tape recorders (but they are a bit too new for this), or perhaps
for measuring O-ring sizes.
Maybe for measuring the size of bracelets in a jeweler's store.
2992) Looks like a tool for cutting off plants close to the ground.
Perhaps for harvesting heads of lettuce or something similar.
A bit flimsy for many other tasks.
2993) For puncturing curved metal straps, perhaps prior to attaching
via screws to more straps, or to allow setting it up to lock at
a particular sized loop -- perhaps for hanging pipes from
rafters.
2994) Hmm ... could be for lying in state of a high-ranking
child who has died. An appropriate mattress would be
fitted inside, and ceremonial lamps at the near corners filled
with oil and lighted.
Now to post and then see what others have said.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I agree -- though it might get under the lip of the primer and
crush it so it can fall out. Shotgun primers are a little more complex
than those used for brass cartridges.
Enjoy,

Neglecting the Berdan primers, part of which (the anvil) is in
the brass itself, a primer for brass cartridges consists of the cup and
the anvil, with the primer compound sandwiched between them.
However -- at least for the shotgun shell primers which I have
seen, there is another part -- sort of a high hat with a hole in the top
which receives the cup and anvil, and fits into the base of the shell.
One more part -- thus a *little* more complex. And it is this high-hat
cup which the spike could get under the rim of and crush, while it would
tend to just skate off the domed cup of the primer for brass cartridges.
(Yes, I know that there were brass shotgun shells at one time, but I've
never seen them -- and based on Wikipedia, they used primers similar to
the handgun primers of the period.
But what I remember was from the days of paper cases, and from
disassembling them as a kid. I can't find a web-based sectioned image
of the respective primers, and I'm not about to dive into ASCII graphics
for this. :-) I think that you'll agree with my description -- unless
they have changed yet again with the plastic shells used today.
BTW -- ever set off a small pistol primer with sunlight? I did
it with a plastic Fresnel lens (about 11x14" or so), and wound up with
the anvil going through the corner of the Fresnel lens. :-) (I would
advise safety glasses if you try it -- which I was not smart enough to
wear at that age. :-)
Enjoy,
DoN.

2992: I've seen similar devices used for pulling stakes... like those
anchoring circus tents and all that. But 2992 doesn't seem beefy enough
for them.
Pretty sure it's used to pull something out of the ground....

Web site now running by consensus? How sad.

Weeder for expansion joints in concrete would be my guess. My wife may
have a better guess. Tool to *form* the expansion joint while the
concrete is still wet.
