OK , it's been like 40 years since I last fired an M1 . They say the memory
is the second thing to go , and I can't seem to recall what the first is ...
but I know I'd seen those before , and once someone mentioned '03
Springfield I remembered where . There's a military weapons display at the
Pink Palace Museum here in Memphis , and there's a few of them .

Crockware was/is most used in the kitchen/pantry area. My initial
guess would have been salt or butter crock. I suppose this arena can
be ruled out.
How about some kind of (fermenting?) crock, for a medicinal poultice
of some kind?

Yep. That's what a "stripper clip" is--you hold the clip over the
magazine, usually using a cutout or some other registration aid to get
it properly aligned, and push the cartridges into the magazine.
Here's a guy loading M-14 magazines with a stripper clip.

Why does this look considerably slower than just loading the magazines
by hand, and with less of a chance of taking a chunk of flesh off the
inside of your thumb?

2173. looks vaguely like stripper clips, for feeding

2174. Bench mounted clamp, for separating a tire from the

2175. Merchandise display racks for trade shows.
2176. Clamp, for piercing bull's noses, before inserting the

2177. Urn for funeral ashes.

That's what I was thinking, some kind of finial, could be for a lamp as Doug
mentioned. Five days ago I asked the person who sent it to me for the
length of it, I asked again two days later in case they forgot, still
haven't heard back. Most people are happy to give further information on
their items, but for some reason others will submit something and then never
reply if I have a question about it.

Yes, I took the photo in a museum but I'm pretty sure that it's a
reproduction of an old leech jar.
That surprises me. I thought they looked familiar, but
didn't really know. The strippers I've seen, have been
different design than that.

Don't know if the shaft is hollow. Also don't know the length, if it's
small then I like the finial idea, if it's large then the beer tap handle
sounds better to me.

Of course, it's hard to use strippers with a Garand. You
need the "en bloc" 8 round clip. And it's hard to refill a
block clip off a stripper. Even if you can find the bloc
after the 8th round.

Snag, my memory of the M1 is like yours. In 1966 I started with an
M-14, then spent two weeks with an M-1, primarily shooting from the hip
at pop-up targets.
I looked at a video of a man loading with a bloc clip. It's not at all
familiar. As I recall, we carried two 8-round stripper clips in each
pouch. Reloading was quite different from an M-14 because we slid the
bullets out of the clip and into the rifle.
The video notes the danger of smashing one's thumb while loading. The
only such danger I recall was in opening and closing the breech for
inspection.
In 1966, the M-1 was no longer issued for battle, where bloc clips would
have been slightly quicker and more foolproof, especially in the dark.
I wonder if we used modified Garands with the bloc clips locked in.
Three possible advantages may have been to make training more efficient
by reducing thumb injuries, to make logistics cheaper and simpler, and
to eliminate the need to pick up and clean bloc clips.

The corners are rounded.
We were issued only 7 M-16 magazines, so loading them under fire could
be necessary.
I would reload load bullets individually after cleaning magazines. I
could not have handled 20 bullets as quickly as 2 clips. Besides,
individual bullets were more likely to get lost or dirty. In the field,
I was glad to have stripper clips covering the primers of my ammo.

As always, I suck at these, but I have a few guesses.
2174: Failing entry from a class on how to use Photoshop. :-p You
might have wanted to copy some of the backgound and pasted it over the
white bits that look like they contained a description of what the item
is. Either that, or left the info in to make it easier for us to guess
what the item is. ;-)
2177: I'd guess a fixed thurible (as opposed to the ones on chains that

I still have some clips for the 30.06 just like your picture, but they
are dark like steel but not rusty.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2173) Kind of hard to tell about this. It sort of looks like part
of a shortened three-ring binder, or sort of like a snap-on
cover for wiring or whatever.
It looks as though you can depress the tabs at the ends, and
slide the inner part out of the outer part.
Maybe a decorative wire cover for leading power to paintings for
illumination.
2174) A clamp on the kitchen table nutcracker.
2175) O.K. Taken as a whole, they appear to be adjustable height
supports for something cylindrical -- perhaps an in-house
aquaduct, or perhaps for supporting a wine bottle. The 'b'
version is a bit ugly for that latter purpose.
2176) Well ... I can tell that it is a compound leverage nipper
but I can't figure what it is specifically for to give it that
unusual shape wit the exension on the right as shown.
2177) Vented -- and a bit large for something like the storage of
garlic cloves (unless youhave a lot of them).
Perhaps a vessel in which fermentation occurs?
2178) Hmm ...is th ecentral shaft hollow? It looks like a finial
for a lamp -- or perhaps a slip-on handle for a beer pump where
the shape of the medalion indicates which beer is delivered.
Now to see what others have suggested.

More likely to be an Irridite or Alodyne conversion coating on
steel. I must admit, that the color was one thing which did not look
like the stripper clips which I have used. (8mm Mauser and SKS, FWIW.)
