1624. 5" long, submitted by a visitor who is looking for information on this piece, it was found in a fishing tackle box around thirty years ago. The word Citronelle is stamped on top of the tail fin and Western Germany on the other fin. The part hanging out of the bottom swivels up into the fish and appears it that the small pin could be there to hold something.


















1625. 12" tall:






















1626. 4-1/4" long:

  6. It looks to me like there is some confusion as to numbers....

    1621 looks like a handle for handling poles or beams

    1622 No Clue

    1623 Bottle rack looks like a good guess to me.

    1624 Some kind of lure with space for "smelly' bait inside

  7. 1622 is really a small engine flywheel holder used to prevent it from moving when installing/removing crankshaft bolts. The curved fingers wedge against the cooling fan fins.
