3240. This is a J.C. Cox Coin Till, the main selling point for it was that it was supposed to stop mistakes and disputes about which coin was given in payment since coins from the last four transactions could be <a href="http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5794811">seen through the glass on the right side</a>. The coins were dropped into a slot at the top and progressed down to the next level by means of a brass lever which moved from side to side. Finally the coins were retained in a locked box at the base. The shelves on the left were for counted stacked coins and the bowl was for miscellaneous coins. <br />

3230. This is a can for carrying fuel. Farm tractors would burn gasoline, kerosene and other types of fuel that were delivered by trucks. For those that did not have underground storage, the fuel usually had to be carried into a small shed and poured into 50 gallon barrels. The delivery truck had a small counter mounted on it and each time a 5 gallon container was filled the counter was advanced one notch. Similar containers can be seen <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=Vintage%20Ellisco%205%20Gallon%20Geo%20D%20Ellis%20Sons%20Gas%20Cans&_itemId=350399304515">here</a>.<br />

3162. A powder wedge, it was filled with gunpowder or <a href="http://www.chuckhawks.com/difference_black_powders.htm">pyrodex</a> and used to <a href="http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Splitting_big_logs.html">split logs too large for a sawmill</a> to handle. The hole in the side was for the fuse, and a chain with a spike on the end was attached to the ring, with the spike driven into the side of the log so that it didn't fly too far from the explosion.<br />
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/Album18/pic3162.jpg"><br />
<br />
<br />
Similar to the wedge except that a hole must be drilled for it, the purpose of the flag was to make it easier to find after detonation, these could also be used on tree stumps.<br />

A couple of months ago this unidentified tool was posted here, turns out that it's a powder wedge from Australia:<br />
