Some weird and wiled ones this week
1820 has the look of a Thistle Grubber
A tool for getting out thistles and other noxious weeds by pushing
into the ground (like a spade or shovel the 2 prongs near the root of
the weed pushing down and lifting it out of the ground.

1823 looks like some kind of scorp, but it's too weak to be a cooper's
scorp, and too dull, besides. Most one-handled scorps are small and very
strong. Maybe it's for use on something soft.

What? You never made barrels? <g> People who make old-style wooden chairs
use them for carving the hollows in the seats. And little ones are used for
some kinds of carving, especially for bowls and spoons. I have a couple from
my family's panel-carving business, and they're around 130 years old.
I'm sure you're right that 1823 isn't a woodworking scorp. Maybe it's used
for something else. And maybe they don't call it a scorp in that business,
whatever it may be.

I'd say it was stripping hair off of hides, except I think the tools for
that which I've seen, which were actually curved drawknives, always had two
handles. You used them with the hide slung over a horizontal post.
Could it have been for fleshing hides?

Googling scorp + tool works. If you like the funky tool words,
woodworking has bruzz and spud and arris is always useful.

1824 - If I recall correctly, is a "game holder". When hunting, this

My ideas, mostly wild imaginations:
1819 - Candle forming machine of some sort -- perhaps to shape dipped
candles uniformly as they cooled.
1820 - A handle that can be attached to several different implement
heads, perhaps different forms of small shovels.
1821 - Puller head for something, like small pulleys or brass instrument
mouthpieces that have become stuck in their instruments
1822 - Nothing solid, but I rather fancy that this could be a governor
for a (presumably stationary) engine of some sort.
1823 - Hook knife, for carving concave items -- this one appearing to me
to be especially suited to hollowing out gutters for a roof.
1824 - Joiner piece to hold two bits of cloth or belting together
(fitting over buttons fastened to the two items). Similar but smaller
fasteners are used in some garments at times, I believe.

1819: Looks like it lies flat, and something is placed on top, and heat can
be applied around it's periphery. That might be useful for shaping/bending
the wood forming the outermost edge of a wagon wheel. So I'll guess a
pattern for a wagon wheel.

1823, wild ass guess. Used while cooking eggs on a flat

they are hardening. That semi square egg shape can then be

I'm always delighted to find something (or some word) that is new to me.
I had never heard of the word "scorp". So...
I did a google on scorp, and found only S-corp[oration] references.
I dragged out my Chambers [British dictionary, used by crossword freaks.],
found scorper = scauper.
I dug out my OED, and found 2 references to scorp; scoff & a native of
Gibraltar.
So I went back and googled 'cooper's scorp' and found:
http://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/indextool.mvc?prodid=MS-ISCORP
I've got a new word :)
But... I still find it hard to believe that 1823 is one. :)

There are no correct guesses for this tool yet so I'll give a clue - it's
typically used outdoors.

Butter, maybe. Cheese is generally firm and cut with a two handled length of

Harvesting a root crop? Peanuts come to mind. It could find them, cut
the roots, and loosen the soil.

Maybe 1819 is a *heater* (that one or more folks might sit on?). Looks like
it would do a good job of dissipating some heat from some embers. Evidently
my earlier guess of wooden wheel shaper was wrong...

The tool on my site isn't for sale but you can find a new one on ebay for
$22, which is cheaper than I paid for mine.

It's not for harvesting but you're on the right track, it's for cutting
weeds under the soil.

O.K. Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
1819) Hmm ... something which rotates from the hot air from below it
(which means that the bearings are a lot better than I would
otherwise expect from the period). Perhaps used to rotate a
chunk of meat, or a pot of something like beans, to even out the
heating which would otherwise be from one side only.
1820) A tool for hooking and levering up a manhole cover perhaps,
or a lid from a wood stove -- but it does not look old enough
for that.
1821) This is a tool for compressing the OD of a watch crystal or
the like for snapping it into the bezel.
I would actually like to own one of these if the owner is
willing to part with it.
1822) Never seen anything which looks like this before.
However -- for guesses -- it appears to be intended to control
a gas flame -- in part by the lever on the left in the first
photo, and in part by a belt drive via the pulley on the bottom
in both main photos.
The lever controls how much gas pressure reaches the rest of it,
and I think the pulley also controls the gas pressure as well.
I *think* that the brass projection (top right in first photo)
may be a jet which is rotated by the pulley, while the
right-projecting fitting feeds gas on to some other burner.
While the close-ups are a help, it would be really nice to have
it in my hands to play with to increase my chances at a
reasonable guess.
1823) Looks like something for cleaning out gutters at the eves of
a house.
1824) Strap for mounting some piece of military gear (based on the
color of the fabric more than anything else. No more guess
than that.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Thanks! I hadn't done any searches on eBay for that --
figuring:
A) It would only be available from watch repair suppliers.
B) That it would be a lot more expensive than has been shown.
Thanks again,
