1428
ReplyDeleteA device for measuring rotational speed, but of what specific kind I have no clue. Its a portable speedometer?

Locking beer tap for a keg?

Magic lantern; old "slide" projector.
1428: Speed? or Distance.
ReplyDelete1432: The only thing that doesn't fit well with the keg tap theory is the hook on the front for hanging buckets from. But it almost looks like it might be ridged rather than threaded (not cut in a spiral) which would seem to indicate that it's hammered into wood.
1434: I don't think it's a magic lantern. The "lens" appears flat and there doesn't seem to be a place to put slides. It seems to be two sided, I wonder whether it's a removable carriage light, or maybe a warning light for railroad workers.
1432 - I have a 1907 hardware catalog that shows this as a "Liquor Cock".
ReplyDelete1433 looks like a shift fork for a small watchmaker's lathe.
ReplyDelete1428 -- device for measuring the length of something that runs under the wheel -- fabric, paper perhaps as it comes off of or onto a spool
