them soon.

if you will notice the device opens at the bottom left. The hooks are
not closed like the others.
But I think this is part of a machine that moves something or shreds
something.
2735 I'm intrigued by this. People have suggested that this is an
animal collar or that it goes around a tree.
What I don't see is a way to open or close it to fasten it around
something.
I doubt that the blacksmith fabricated it in place. I also doubt that
it was made and then the animal or tree grew into it.
That leaves me imagining someone holding down a large fighting animal
while forcing this around its head to its neck.

Nope, but it is for use on a farm.

I don't know for sure what these are, but I agree that they look like they
go around a pipe to temporarily stop a leak.

It's not for drain pipes

I posted a similar tool last year, originally it wasn't a clamp but since
it's missing some teeth it certainly could be one now. Someone looking to
identify this tool had sent the photo in.

Hi Rob,
I believe those are for pouring lead around old cast iron soil pipes.
Note how they form a "funnel" where they join together.
You posted a similar item awhile back. It was just the clamp missing
its "rope" part which was used instead of the rubber like these.

You might be correct but I couldn't find any similar ones on the web, I
remember posting some kind of pipe clamp but I don't remember how long ago
that was or exactly which number. The answers for the other five items for
this week can be seen here:

It was in set 448, item #2602. "2602. A device for filling pipe joints,
patent number 948,686.
When I get a minute or two I'll see if I can find anything like the ones
you posted this week :)

Looks like it was a cool shop, too bad it closed, I would like to attend the
swap meets but I don't live in the area.

Thanks, you have a good memory!

I still haven't been able to find any others like the current one on my
site.

Hi Rob,
Take a look at this patent:
http://www.google.com/patents/US2501484
Looks pretty close to me...

Great job Leon! I think you nailed it, I'll update my answer in the next
day or two since I'm heading out right now and won't be home much. I will
also send the patent to the museum where I took the photos.

Well, I'm lousy at these, but I enjoy having a go at them. Here are my
guesses, which probably aren't very helpful
2731. Looks like it ought to go around a plant to prevent larger
animals (deer?) from chewing on it, but I don't think it's big enough
for that.
2732. What do you need a screwdriver with wings to provide extra torque
for?
2733. Locking rings that go around something.
2735. Either snow chains for a small wheel, or a chastity device for an
extremely well-endowed man. (Note the 10-inch girth.)

Far as the Liberty Tool Video video goes:
There used to be a similar shop in Santa Monica CA called 'Old Tools'
Far as I can tell from the video, Old Tools might have been a bit
larger... and the owner was a real neat freak... the place was well
organized and nearly spotless... and a bit pricy as well.

The photos don't really do the place justice.
After Old Tools closed, the swap meets were taken over by Anderson
Plywood a few miles away in Culver City CA, and continue 4 times a year
to this day.

That was a SWAG, I have no knowledge of those.
