Congrats , Chris . Your stupidity about the weekly answer post has finally
pushed me over the edge . Your comedic value no longer outweighs your
ability to irritate . I have counted no less than 8 different people -myself
included- tell you when and how to find the "answer post" , and you have
replied to most of those . Yet here you are yet again bitching and whining
like a little girl . The horse is dead , man , quit beating it . Or not , I
don't care because you've just landed in my killfile . Bye .

3213 This looks like a worm to remove [stuff] from a muzzle loading
cannon barrel, but is much smaller and nicely made...
I'll guess this is a worm for a muzzle loading dueling pistol.

3211 - looks like a light color selector. White under normal use, red
for night vision/battle lighting.

3213 - worm for muzzle loading pistol.

3216 - dowel jig

3211 - I'm thinking either Railroad or Maritime. Perhaps a beacon light on
a bouy? Or a channel marker?

3215: a type of nail puller perhaps?
Maybe used on a roof to catch the
nails. It looks stout enough to be
hammered on even...

If it also had a yellow lens I'd say it was part of the meatball light
on a carrier.

I'm only sure about the answers of the first and last items in this set. I
couldn't find definitive proof for the rest though I think some of the
suggestions
for them are probably right.

Posting from the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking as
always.

3211) O.K. My first thought was the rotating beacon on an airport, but
civilian airports have two white beams 180 degrees apart, and
military ones have alternating white and green beams, not the
white and red here.

And it looks a bit too small for a lighthouse (unless they have
managed to make long-life lamps much smaller than in the past).

So -- my guess is that it is a warning light from the top of a
buoy -- motor driven to keep the red beam towards the danger
areas and the white beam towards the safe areas.

Plus, the outer black shutters cause it to blink as they are
rotated.

3212) Not sure, but it looks like a tool for bending something to a
specific curve.

3213) A rather short "worm" for extracting ball and charge from a
muzzle loading firearm -- almost certainly a handgun, and
possibly from a set of dueling pistols.

3214) Nasty looking thing!

Could that be one of the punishment devices used on convicts
who had been shipped to Australia? Closed around the neck (if
there is really enough room for a human neck in there) and
attached to a wall to keep them upright and from falling to
sleep for a long period of time?

3215) Looks like a device to crimp flush with a surface -- perhaps
a cable passing through a nipple and then crimped to hold it
there.

3216) A drill guide -- for drilling holes for dowels at a set-able
distance from the edge of a wood piece.

Looks like guide bushings for 1/4" 1/2" and 5/8", but hard to
be sure -- when I zoom in the jpeg artifacts hide the details,
and you did not put the dead-on view in to the "larger image"
site. Even the angled view on that site doesn't give really
legible views when zoomed in.

I wonder what the spacing between the pegs on the top side is,
and whether it is a convenient size for some common piece of
wood.

Now to post this and then see what others have suggested.

Enjoy,
DoN.

3211 is obviously a lantern meant to be rotated by the gears and
show red and white alternately. I'm having trouble deciding between
three possible uses:

* decorative light on a storefront business to call the
attention of people passing by

* roof light on a police car

* 19th-century railway signal (19th century because the "go" signal
is still white, not green).

It doesn't look over 100 years old and it looks too top-heavy for the
police-car light, so I guess it's the first one.



Wrong three times or only twice?
