I agree with the above and think 1645 is a camera.

1645 Slide copier
ReplyDelete1645 Hmm looking at the frame size, morel likely a camera for getting still frames from a 8 or 16mm movie film
ReplyDelete1645 - Think it's just a viewer, not a camera. For either microfilm, or 8mm film.
ReplyDelete1645 - fixed focus camera, used for copying something (slides perhaps, but the front end looks wrong for that)
ReplyDelete1646 - fish billy, for clubbing toothy critters after hauling them into a boat
1647 - glaziers hammer
1648 - railroad construction perhaps - tongs used for picking up rails ?
