2198. A measuring instrument for fitting a horse collar, a collar is a part of a harness that is designed to distribute the load around a horse's neck and shoulders when pulling a wagon or plow. Text on it reads "Buck Brand, Collars and Gloves."
2199. A roller proof press, used to make a trial print in order to check the composition of type while it was in the galley, and before it was sent to press. The heavy iron cylinder was guided by rails to roll at type height across a bed of type. For more information see pages 47-49 here.

2202. Or a horn for bicycles.
2199. Roller for leveling hand set lead type.
ReplyDelete2200. Agree - Putting ball return.
2202. Agree - Bike siren.
