1098 Obviously some sort of ratchet-ish rack for things that are

no overall twist on the stand though, as the base is small. Used in
ropemaking perhaps, to hold the individual lays apart when splicing?

1098 I think is yet another fireplace potholder.
Anyway, the way the hooks are set, you place the rod on one hook, and
under the opposite hook, and you can move the pot up and down by
changing what hooks the rod is set into.

1099. Could be a tip for a fireman's pole, as mentioned, or for a
pike pole used by lumbermen for sorting floating logs.

1097 = hygrometer, for testing the specific gravity and
1098 = jack
hence the alcohol content of beer or wine.
1099 = peavy, for moving logs.
1100 = lens case
1101 = ammo loading press
1102 = for bending small pieces of metal, using a
bench vise for a power source. Note the
magnets and the lugs to hold the fixture
aligned with the tops of the vise jaws.

'tis a tach - I have one. I've never had it apart but presumably
there's a flyweight arrangement inside the black metal can. The scale
is fixed and there's a pointer disc on a rod that's barely visible in
the lower photo just below the 500 RPM line. The disc moves up the
scale in response to the centrifugal force on the flyweights.
1099 is the head of a pike pole. A Peavey is a very different tool.

1099 Pike Pole tip, may also be known as a boat hook.
1100 Camera lens case
1097 ? While it superficially resembles a hygrometer, the scale markings
are upside down. It is intended to be used with the (crude) point pointing
up.
1099 Boathook tip or fireman's lance tip.
1100 Looks like a case for a lens for an old camera.
1102 Tools for a bending brake. But why gold plated? Perhaps for a
retirement gift for an old machine operator.

1097 If we accept that 1097 is a tachometer, how does it work? Is the
narrow dark line around the periphery of the flat face a rotary joint? Are
the guts some form of centrifugal clutch or is it some form of pneumatic

and again my silly guesses...
1097 first guess was ... prehistoric beyblade.
second guess ... some thingy to measure the weigth of fluid, or to measure
concentration of acid
1098 no idea
1099 hook for whalehunters, or for mooving boxes.
second guess ... for getting the last empty seat in the subway?
1100 i have some similar cases, for optical instruments like a "distance
meter" (oops, right word?), or bulb flashlight
1101 a tool for rivets?
1102 part of a weighing scale?
greetings from germany

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1097) If it were not for the fact that the numbers appear to be
upside-down, I would think that this might be a floating
hydrometer.
also -- it is not clear why the spike on the end.
It might be a plug for measuring the melting point of asphalt.
1098) Given the way the (unbroken) teeth on the sides are oriented,
it appears to be designed to support the rod with the heavy end
to the right if the rod is on the near side, or to the left if
the rod is on the far side.
Note that at least one tooth is broken on the near right, one up
from the bottom most.
1099) Hmm ... the spike from the end of a log roller's Peavy,
perhaps?
If the points were more blunted, I would call it the head of a
boat hook, but these are a bit too sharp, and might damage the
boat.
1100) This looks like a carrier for 35mm film, designed to hang on
the strap for the camera.
Of course -- it could also be for holding an alternate power
eyepiece for an astronomical telescope.
1101) This looks as though it could be used for setting Clecos for
holding sheet metal aligned prior to attaching with rivets or
screws.
But it does not look much like the Cleco pliers which I have.
It may be a more ergonomic style of Cleco setter.
1102) Hmm ... looks like adaptors to turn a vise into a small
press brake for bending sheet metal.
They appear to have shelves to keep them aligned with the top of
the vise jaws, and built-in magnets to hold them in place.
Now to see what other have said before I got to this.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Found it: #21107 by Amos Jones of Lebanon NH. It for raising an axle to
remove a wheel for lubrication. It goes between the wheel and the body.
I can think of several improvements. As it is, whichever way you turn
the jack you must put the rod on the right side. It would be better to
have the fulcrums on both sides of one edge of the board in case of a
situation with more room on the left side.
The fulcrums are 2" apart. If the two rows were staggered, offset by an
inch, it would be easier to find an ideal height. As it is, you can
pick up an axle as far as you can pry it in one try, maybe 2". With two
rows of fulcrums, you could alternate between two rods to pick it up
several inches. The center of the base should be under the fulcrums.
The fulcrums need to be much stronger than the catch hooks. Maybe the
castings should be thicker, and I think they should have holes instead
of hooks, for strength and to keep the rod from being knocked out and
letting the wagon fall.
If the handle were knocked sideways out of the catch hook, the handle
could knock your teeth out and the axle would drop. It might be safer
to loop a chain over the rod and fasten a link on the free end of the
chain to a hook on the board.
Is it too late to patent my own wagon jack?
Hmmm...this looks like an easier set than sometimes. I have ideas about
more than one or two.
1097--would appear to be a specific gravity (relative density) measure
for liquids; drop it in, and the scale bobs to the right level.
Apparently, it's calibrated in thousandths (e.g. 1000 = unity).
1098--Wagon jack. The rod is alternately levered up the front and back
prongs of the stand to lift the load.
1099--The business end of a peavey, which is used for manhandling logs.
There'd generally be a wooden handle maybe four or five feet long
attached, and a hinged hook attached to the handle around a foot from
this end to clamp down against the side prong when rolling logs.
1100--a case for a camera lens
1101--Clearly a caulking gun for dollhouse windows. You can't have a
drafty dollhouse, after all; it wouldn't be right. Okay, I'm clueless
on this one.
1102--Sheet metal bender blocks, similar to those sold by Lee Valley
(but maybe finished in a different color). The two pieces are
magnetically attached to vice jaws, and metal clamped between them to
impart whatever angle you want to it, so long as its not more than 90
degrees. I have a set, but haven't needed to use them yet, despite
wishing for something similar several times before I got them.
Now to see other people's ideas...

I feel really stupid about 1099. I've seen one, I know that I know
what it is, and I can't dredge either the name or the purpose out of
my memory.
1100, though, is a case for a lens of some sort, perhaps a camera
lens, perhaps one for some sort of precision mechanism. Most likely a
camera

Reading that, I wonder if it's for a Minox?
1097--Could be a depth gauge of some sort, but I think it is probably a
hardness tester for something soft, like rubber, or maybe mattresses.
1099--Obviously goes on a pole, and I think my grammar school teacher used
one to open and close the transom over the classroom door.
1100--Definitely a 35mm film carrier.
1101--I think Norte is right. I made one out of a pair of pliers once.
