1789. Drafting tool, as it opens it divides area into 10 equal spaces when full length is used.
ReplyDelete1790. Shear
1791. Curling stone.
1794: Trolley pole
ReplyDelete1791 looks like the stone used for quoits.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Canem about the others.
1790 - i frequently used one of these many years ago. Tool for cutting asbestos shingles. Also punches the nail holes.
ReplyDelete1793 looks like a police riot shield.
ReplyDelete1789--More a layout tool than a drafting tool. While there are probably lots of trades where this could be useful, I'd guess it was designed as a cabinet-maker's tool, for laying out dovetails.
ReplyDelete1792--Perhaps a (flint-and-)steel, with the pocket to hold the now missing flint.
1794: Automatic fishing pole?
ReplyDeleteThis kind of good post, I liked that a whole lot! Nice fashion sense! Amazing pictures!
