As usual, I'm lousy at these, but I actually do have at least one
reasonable guess this week.
2876: Attaches to a rod and is used for dousing candles?
2879: Used like a caulking gun, although I can't tell exactly what it's
supposed to apply.

2875 Something for tightening something that's on a line (similar to a
spoke wrench for bike)
or for holiding 2 ends of a cable together.. that has a crimp on each
end... (best I could do)

antique campaign torches.

Nice job inserting politics where it is absolutely not needed.

Actually it was inserting humor. Off topic, but I wouldn't say not
needed.

What you do is a lot of fun for us, Rob. Thanks for the effort you make.

You're absolutely correct. There are plenty of places that I can
rant other than Rob's "What is it?"
Rob, and others reading this thread, please accept my apologies.

The last one is correct, the patent calls it an adding machine.

I like this theory, I couldn't find any proof for it, but it sounds good.

I hate to tell you this but I actually don't have all the answers this week, the
folding fork tool and the drill are still unidentified, or at least unverified.
Occasionally in my opening post I don't mention if I need help or not, but I
will
try to be more consistent with that in the future.

weeks ago have been posted:

2877 -- Guess: Looks like a small "cant hook" (for handling lumber).
The round metal part would keep you from injuring your hand.

Good job on getting that one Lloyd, the owner said he took a closer look at the
back and saw the Enterprise, which led to him finding a similar one.
Posting from my desk top PC, as always.=20
2875 looks a bit like a cable link, for auto brake cables. The cable =
had a ball at the end, and it went into the center, much like a beaded =
key chain.=20
2876, maybe hanging oil lamp, or citronella for Mrs. O'Leary's barn.=20
2877, no serious guesses.=20
2878, not much idea.=20
2879, one of these, maybe. Grease gun, rivet tool, sausage stuffer, =
caulk dispenser, or??=20
2880, maybe part of a safe and vault combination lock?=20
