The answers to this set will be posted on late Friday afternoon as
usual:

#1670 -- a quality compass (circle-drawer)?
Nope, no way. A compass wouldn't have two points. Could be a divider
(which does have two points), but why the odd way of adjusting it?
I'd guess a spanner of some kind, maybe for optical components. It
appears
that the two pin-holders are slightly bent in opposite directions (but
that
might be a trick of perspective), which would support the notion of its
having been used in this fashion.
It looks like an adjustable spanner for optical components. Could have used
it a few years back. |

I'll ask the owner of it if he wants to sell it or not and will let you
know.

Thanks to everyone who provided the answer for the bell jar, it was
purchased at an estate sale from the home of the founder of Marquette,
Michigan, the person who bought it said the house looked exactly like the
owner had left in 1880 and nothing had been changed since. I would have
liked to have seen that.
Four of the six have been answered correctly this week:

Back to the usual Thursday schedule next time, I've got some interesting
stuff coming up, wish I didn't have to wait a whole week to post it.

So would I.
So -- which were the ones which were not answered correctly? I
thought that I saw answers which were close enough for all of them.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I see that he used the picture I linked to for the saw blade holder.
I'd like to find one for 10" saw blades.

He said that he would be interested to sell it so I gave him your email
address, I would expect you will hear from him within a few days.

Ok, looks like I should have said five out of six, your answer of scriber
was definitely close enough, I should have counted that as correct, but I
don't think anyone got the millstone pick for cutting furrows in a grist
millstone.
If you don't hear from the guy with the bell jar, let me know and I'll give
you his contact info.

I have his e-mail in my mailbox at the moment. I didn't answer
it yet because this was a hectic day -- the CAMS club "yard sale" and
picnic (I got a cute little 1-Ton flywheel punch press there) followed
by the trick-or-treat kiddies (and a lot of rain, too.)

O.K. That I will accept. Yes, the "scriber" had its pins too
small to serve as a pin spanner for lens retaining rings and such -- but
with the ability to substitute alternative bits, it *could* have been
used for the purpose -- as well as a wristwatch "case wrench" in some
cases.

As I said above -- it is in my e-mail box, just waiting for me
to get to answering.
Thanks,
DoN.
