2420 is a "double bubble" whisky shot glass. Warm water is put in the
lower portion, and the whisky goes in the top.
2422 are all sanitary tubing fittings. Probably at a dairy.

Here are two items that were sent in a few weeks ago, anyone know what

2419 This looks like a Check Protector embosser.
Although the pattern looks a bit coarse, this looks like it was used to
emboss a pattern over the amount of a check to prevent alteration.

This answer is correct. As I also mention on the site, I'll be posting on
Wednesday next week. Five of the six in this set were answered correctly,
the band saw vise was a difficult one:

I don't have a photo of the other side, someone sent me a hard copy print
through the mail which I scanned to get a digital image, text on it reads E
C Atkins & Co Indianapolis, pat. Apr 20, 1889. That date is a Saturday,
since most patents were issued on a Tuesday, the date might be incorrect. I
did some patent searching but couldn't find it.

I had read that somewhere but just now I couldn't find it again, so I took
that part out.

I changed my wording on this answer to make it more clear regarding the
tongs. Still no luck finding a patent for this vise, I was hoping to use
some patent drawings in the answer.

The bottom is filled with water, a soft drink, or beer, then the top is
filled with whiskey or other liquor. When someone drinks it, the chaser
mixes with the liquor so it goes down easier and the last taste is from the
chaser, this supposedly makes drinking shots more pleasant. I've never
tried it, and don't necessarily recommend it one way or the other, just
thought the glass was interesting.

After seeing your patent for a brazing machine I did a search on that term
and found one that looks just like the photo on my site, maybe the inventor
sold this patent to Atkins:
http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT426358
The date on the vise was Apr. 20, 1889 but the patent says Apr. 22, 1890. I
would think the ends of the bandsaw would overlap when brazed, not sure why
they're shown with a gap between them on the patent. Looks like DoN made a
good guess on the arch being used to hold the bandsaw while filing.
Thanks,
Rob

I didn't succeed either, but I did find a few things.
1. EC Atkins is Elias C Atkins, and he founded a saw manufacturing
company in Indianapolis, with lots of patents. For instance, 342,416
and 413,012.
2. His employee George S Black invented a Brazing Machine (pat 353,245,
issued Nov. 23, 1886) for the making of band saw blades.

The bandsaw brazing vice (#2421) is interesting. Is there a photo that
shows the lettering clearly? And one showing the other side? I think I
see mention of a patent.

Man, that sure looks like it.

Yes. A confabulated date.

It would be an artist's impression, and it may have been clearer with
the gap. In practice, the ends would be ground to form a scarf joint,
as silver brazing isn't quite strong enough for a plain butt joint to
work.

Yep.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2419) I have two options for this:
A) Stamped over a signature, to prevent erasing and
re-signing by another party.
B) "Paper Welder" -- secures two or more sheets of paper
together without metal staples or glue.
2420) Looks a little like some early coffee maker bowls, but way too
small.
Perhaps a urine sample container, with the neck marking a
specific volume.
2421) Perhaps a fixture for making the wooden sections of a wagon
wheel which goes within the steel tire?
Otherwise -- for steaming wood to take a curve -- perhaps as
part of a guitar or other musical instrument?
2422) High vacuum fittings and couplings -- the "ConFlat" style IIRC.
The only part which I don't see are the spacers with a groove
for an O-ring to go between each pair of flats.
Nope -- not Conflat -- but another style, the KF style. (Which
went by several other names, too). Look at this Wikipedia
entry, the first photo:/
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_flange>
I've used both styles in the past.
2423) For when brass knuckles are not brutal enough?
Perhaps for meat tenderizing.
2424) Guesses below based on the proximity to the _Big Game Hunting_
book.
Perhaps for accessories for big game rifles -- ammo or similar
things.
Or perhaps (though not very convenient) a carrier for a serious
telephoto lens -- for big game hunting without killing.
Now to post, and then to go see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Though these are also used in high vacuum physics, or something
very similar to them is.
This site seems to cover the Tri-Clover line, and the gaskets
(seen part way down) are not the same as the high vacuum fittings which
I was considering.

I really think that it is for keeping the amount and signature
from being modified, not for keeping the check from being submitted a
second time.

I *can* see the arch being used to hold the freshly brazed blade
in position for filing off any excess brazing material, so it will feed
smoothly though the bandsaw's blade guides.

I see that you found the patent and the drawings there help
clarify its use greatly.
Today, if I were using it for the intended purpose, I would
probably use a set of resistance soldering/welding tongs instead of
pre-heated ones (which would require a nearby forge fired up. :-)
