Go to any County Fair or theme park and order a Churro. Then go look
at the ovens they come out of...
It's weird, things like that you should be able to "pick up anywhere"
but I've never seen a catalog where they list things like that. You
used to get the various twist and link chains and sprockets with
Erector Sets and would be useful for many Rube Goldberg-ing projects.

2929 is for cleaning/dressing buffing wheels when they get loaded. I've
got one in the workshop.

It's unusual if you aren't familiar with it.

Display fireworks must be stored in a minimum of a Type 4 magazine.
Plywood boxes don't even come close to the required metal or masonry
construction required for a Type 4. Consumer fireworks require no kind
of magazine at all, and would normally just be stored in a locked
warehouse.

I didn't see the earlier post.

Ok I know 2934 looks like the belt conveyor for an industrial washing
machine
we had one at an old job and was used for washing machined metal parts.

2929 is a buffing rake. it is used to remove excess buffing compound from
cloth buffing wheels.
2933 is a capper for holding percussion caps and putting them on the nipples
of a cap and ball revolver.

I thought, "Of course!"
But then...
I'd expect fireworks boxes to have rain-shedding roofs. I'd expect them
to have air circulation below to keep the insides dry. By the look of
the door, they seem to be simple plywood enclosures. White plywood
boxes of fireworks surrounded by a chain link fence on an open field
would invite mischief by vandals with firearms.
It's peculiar that the numbers are on the opposite side from the doors,
and they're too small to read from across the field. The door seems to
have a handle on the inside. Why would somebody want to go in and shut
the door?
The pole appears to be about 6" in diameter and 25' high. Why would it
have been erected?

Thought I've never seen any up close, they reminded me of the boxes that
might be used in throwing birds in skeet shooting.
Maybe the tall pole is a wind vane?

That pole looks just like the flagpole in front of an office building a
block from here. I know where it is! It's a defunct military base.
Some soldiers would try to be indoors during colors so they wouldn't
have to stop and stand there saluting. Evening colors could catch them
by surprise because it happened at a different time every day. Those
boxes were built for such emergencies. Beetle Bailey could jump in and
close the door so he wouldn't have to salute. It would be a breach of
etiquette for an E-1 to jump in on top of an E-6. So they're marked, 1-6.

You're correct about it being on an old military base, it's actually a park now,
this is on the same land as the Voice of America switch matrix from last week.
If
you look at the last photo of the matrix you can see some of the boxes on the
right.
I don't think anyone identified the fourth item, but the rest of this set were
all

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2929) Perhaps a flax card -- or something similar for other
natural fibers?
Rather painful as a back scratcher. :-)
2330) Looks like something to clamp a picture frame of the like
while gluing.
2331) Strange. If the front were more beat up, I would think that
it might be some kind of firearms skills targets.
But there really does not seem to be too much obvious to
me that they could be used for -- unless they are used to store
something during some kind of event and empty the rest of the
time.
2332) A forghorn -- either on a watercraft or on a lighthouse.
2333) A dispenser for some component of ammunition for a
muzzle-loading firearm. Not sure whether it is powder (a bit
small for that I think), or patches, or balls (projectiles).
Given how small it is, it may be the finer powder for the pan of
a flintlock rifle.
Or -- it could be caps.
It appears to be missing some nose piece which controls the
distribution of whatever it is.
But Colt was (and is) a major firearms manufacturer.
2334) Looks like temporary traction over mud. Either laid down
as a pair of tracks, or something formed in loops over the front
and rear tires to work like the tracks on a tank.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
