It's an old massage roller. They kind used to extract milk from women's breasts to feed to their father who has cancer.

Wall paper tool.

Wax applicator for type or copy, or a glue applicator for wood

This is a Bissel Wampner, for realligning the plimsol marks on military cargo ships. Incorrect plimsol marks led to leeward warpage, especially on the Great Lakes of America and the western Caspian Sea. Originally the task of alignment went to the newest or least popular member, but with the implementation of The Maritime Safety Act off 1963, the alignment is performed by a trained monkey, or for ships flagged by the British Isles, a welshman.

A spring loaded roller to keep a constant pressure on an uneven surface.No guess as to what that surface may be.

Steampunk ink roller

This is the prior art I need to finally break the design patent Nestle holds on (ice cream) Push Up Pops.

Children of the world rejoice! Inexpensive mess-free ice cream awaits you this summer!

Ha ha, just kidding. I'll piddle my life's savings away in court for another decade and die penniless clutching a naked Barbie doll in an alley in Levittown, New York.

piano's foot.

A hanging scale (you know, like...for weighing fish)

It is an Electreat apparatus, a neuromodulatory device for the relief of pain and improved vitality and health.

Y'all can bow to the neuroscientist now :p

(Also known as the Electreat Mechanical Heart)

It's an ancient Swedish penis pump.

And it's not mine, Baby, I swear it!

Its used to make soil plugs to start seedlings.

I'd have to agree with #6 Stolia, but I would add that it's specifically for street and highway strip painting.

Pastry tool

it's a glue applicator/roller

It's clearly one leg to old-fashioned bed frame. Before the technology existed for springs embedded in mattresses, they used spring-loaded legs on the frames.

This one is, of course, the Deluxe model which can be rolled away from the wall when using the latest space age dust sucking machine (pre-Hoover).

It looks like the roller used for tanning leather hide.

This object is a roller to paint the fingers in a central police when the police will take fingerprints.I have seen many years ago, lol

It's an insecticide sprayer?

An early style ink press roller?

It's a roller. It's used for rolling.

An envelope sealer, with maybe a stamp dispenser inside?

my guess would be an early type of printing press.

Craig - well found. "Electreat apparatus (1928-1938) Cylinder with roller on end, containing two flashlight cells; accessories included sponge, scalp brush, palm massage pad." Also, "A battery-operated device called the "Electreat" for giving a harmless electric shock. Before the manufacturer was enjoined by the Food & Drug Administration, Electreat was represented as helpful for goiter, kidney trouble, heart pain, broken bones, childbirth paralysis and deafness."

It is part of a door closure mechanism, goes under the name of dictator.

Well it might be.

This is the leg of an upright piano.

This is a manual bomb deployment system. When your army doesn't have enough planes to bomb a city, you deploy your troops, each soldier carrying one of this things, to the target city. Once your troops arrive at the target location, they throw them as if they were throwing a hammer (olympic kind, not regular hammer, that would be just ridiculous) towards the roof of the target building.

Not pictured: see the little hole between the handle and the bomb? That's where the safety pin goes.

My son says it's an antique robot leg.

Or it's a futuristic pirate leg!

I should apologize. I just remembered we're not supposed to link to anything on the guessing board. ...my bad.

This used to be a electreat (the mechanical heart) it was used to relieve pains in your body by putting a small current through your body.It uses batteries & usually has a few more attachments with it. but will work the way it is. The handle is the ground & the roller part would be the positive. Is quite the gadget & can give you a wake up call if turned up.

It's a turn of the century quack medical device currently used in BDSM play to deliver electrical shocks from your fingertips.
