A stamp press

A coin engraver

A rivet setter

A leather working tool - for forming shoes

An old wood planer, for planing wood.

A Prockle wedge, used for calibrating shim-tuckers in the krestining phase of base lifting. I worked
as a trable wacker in the Nova Scotia melding pits one summer and wore out three wedges until I learned how to do it right. Never clack-slat to the left of the shim break!

The brass ones were the best, I had to use the malachite models because I was new and inexperienced.

spot welder

A leather puncher, or something to do with leather.

THe screw part means it's going to stop whatever you're trying to scrape when it butts up against that wood edge when it's screwed in. Odd. It looks like it's just supposed to plane a little off the edge of something, like flooring that's supposed to fit under the edge of a wall.

It's a stapler. Specifically, Larry King's stapler.

A knife sharpener

Torture device

A manual drill

a monkey

Awesome

hmmmmmmmmmm.......is it a banana.............peeler?

It looks like some sort of smasher. The metal strip looks as though it gives a spring loaded action downwards. I wonder if the top is parallel to the bottom for a reason. The nut just on top of the metal strip looks as though it was made to turn.

Hmmm, the size of the lag on the end, where it screws into something, suggests it could hold a bit of weight.

Hmmmmm......

some type of clamp for something?

maybe mounted vertically to hold a bike. (ole timey storage doo-higgy)

Aw, no one got it! Answer: an intruder alarm, which uses a blank cap to scare away would-be thieves and alarm the occupants of the house.
