No, the knob is turned to raise or lower the wick. Maybe lantern is the
wrong word for one of these, I probably should have said oil lamp.

Thanks for the reply, I did some searching and found some of the ones that
you mention here:
http://www.k-mac-plastics.net/polystyrene-plastic-balls.htm
Mine are different than these, they don't have a seam and more importantly
they don't float.
Further searching leads me to think that they might be the UHMWPE (ultra
high molecular weight) balls:
http://www.k-mac-plastics.net/uhmwpe-plastic-balls.htm
They seem a little pricey at $48.41 for five balls, anyone know what these
are used for?

176 is an igniter of some sort, the flint is held in the lefthand cylinder,
the wheel above it scratches the flint, the knerled knob on the right is
what you spin between your finger and thumb.
171 is a tarp clamp. You place it at a tarp location you want to tie down.
You place the tarp in the jaws, slide the locking mechanism to the right
(photo right), and there is a hole on the left that you can put a rope in.

175 -- I used this over 30 years ago. It came in a Tandy leather craft
package. It's used for making decorative cuts on the leather surface but I
don't recall what it is called. Possibly "swivel knife" because to cut
curves you press down with an index finger while twisting the barrel between
your thumb and index finger.
Thanks for the memories. Doubtless my leathercraft kit is still in a box in
my parents garage. ;-)

I went to the flea market this morning and was looking through a box of
small pieces of miscellaneous hardware where I found some 1" diameter white
plastic balls. I bought three of them along with some metal ball bearings,
I was hoping someone here could tell me what these white balls might be for,
there is a photo of them here:

It is a type of nut but I'm not sure about the "183 Romex" part of your
answer, I couldn't find any confirmation of this on the web.

I said butane because it's a twist-on. Butanes are portable and
propane usually had screw-on tips like oxy/acet.

It's not for pipes or exchanger tubes, it's for inserting something, it's
been a week so I'll post the answer later today.

173 seems to be something you can stick into the end of a pipe, and as you
bring the two handles together it locks itself inside the pipe. Could it be
used to pull exchanger tubes of old?

Yes, swivel knife is the correct term for this one.
