Yes, its definitely a lard press, but a slightly older one. Check out
the pics on this site http://tinyurl.com/cubvp to see one of the same

several items you have put on your site recently. Unfortunately, none
of the unknown ones...

I think 3 is a battery cell tester for the old type car battries.

A refractometer is an optical device, not electronic. It refracts light
through water and a prism to give a reading on an internal scale. Use
one all the time for the salt water tank. However, it could be an
electronic PH, temp, salinity, redux, or ?? meter. Not a brand name I'm
familiar with for aquarium use, so I think its use and purpose is elsewhere.

All but the last one have been properly identified:
527. Wine press, at least that's what it was marked, I'm not sure what the
difference is, if any, between this and a lard, cheese or cider press.
528. Binder ring.
529. Ph meter
530. Jar opener
531. Oiler
532. No correct answers yet, it's not a hook, as both sides of this are
very sharp.
A couple more photos and a link have been posted on the answer page:

Yes, it's for wood, but not used on beams.

That's a Hanna pH meter. We use them at work.

Otherwise known as a spline tool. I just wore mine out, literally,
courtesy of hurricane Wilma. I would not have thought something
that simple could wear out.

not a refractometer, that's for sure.

#527 looks like a cheese press
#529 Some sort of digital thermometer?
#531 Oil can?
According to todd <[email protected]>:

You mean #529? I don't think so, because it appears to have an
LCD readout, and those aren't old enough to go with the old batteries.
Enjoy,

Got my mouth watering! Grandma didn't use one that big. She had a hand press
about 3" dia. by 4" deep. sort of like an oversize garlic crusher. Kept the
cracklin's in a big enamel dishpan by the back door, handy to grab on your
way through. Yummmmmm! Just can't get that good stuff anymore.

Stupidity is not considered a handicap, park elsewhere.
Looks like I get first crack at them this week.
A first for me.
1. A press of some sort. Fruit?
2. Closing joint of a ring in a 3 ring notebook
3. Moisture meter for potted plants.
4. ??
5. Trigger pumped oil can.
6. Boot hook for pulling them on.

Rob, All the wine presses I've ever seen were made of wood staves.
I have helped at many pig butcherings and the lard was squeezed
out of the "cracklins" with a press just as the one in the ref.

527 - Grape press for wine making
528 - Chain link guide
529 - Digital thermometer
530 - ??? (nut cracker?)
531 - Oil pump to lubricate your lathe and stuff
532 - Lifting bails of hay and cotton
521 - Victorola needle to pick up sound from records, can be used to make
wax recordings also.
522 - Grinding wheel dressing tool
523 - Cope on a cope and drag tool for casting
524 - The tool you use to insert rubber trim into extruded frames for screen
doors to hold screen in place.
525 - Height adjuster for the upside-down leg
526 - Looks like something used on an overhead conveyor to carry something
through a process... maybe at a slaughter house?
It is an early prototype of the Orgasmatron 660.

Thanks, I think that you're right about wine presses being made of wood,
maybe the person who marked it was guessing or thought it would sell better
by calling it that.
