1840. A shoemaker's peg float or peg break, the heels of shoes were attached with wooden pegs, this tool was used to cut off and smooth the end of the peg that projected above the insole.
The pegs can be seen in these two photos of shoemaker tool boxes:

1841. A dental float that was used on a horse, their teeth wear unevenly and must be filed down occasionally.
Since the peg float and dental float look similar, they are sometimes incorrectly identified, but there are some obvious differences between the two.
The peg float is slightly convex, has coarse grooves that extend to the edge, and has rounded corners. The dental float is flat, has finer grooves, and has a metal border to protect tissue adjacent to the tooth. For more information on these two tools, check out Bob Roger's article in 'The Gristmill', a publication of the Mid-West Tool Collectors Association.
Not all dental floats had pivoting heads, this must be a deluxe model.
1842. A wireless transmitter for use with a guitar:

ReplyDelete1837: Censor?
ReplyDelete1837 is a clock pendulum. The vessel in the center contains mercury; its upward expansion with rising temperature compensates for the lengthening of the pendulum. (Or perhaps it is merely contrived to look like it contains mercury; such imitations do occur.)
ReplyDelete>1840. Called a Float, it is used to grind down horse teeth to correct bite.
ReplyDeleteThis is not for use on horses, it's for a totally different purpose.
>1841. Looks like another float, adjustable.
Correct, this is a dental float
1839 I remember these when I used to go to church. The ushers used them to collect the $ offerings. Now days they just use a bowl and pass it down the pews. But the ushers used to use these long handled bowls to reach the church goers in the center of the pew to get their $ offering during mass.
ReplyDelete1839: A bed warmer?
ReplyDeleteI've seen something like 1839 used in church for the collection plate.
ReplyDelete1839 appears to be a chestnut roaster. Chestnuts would be put in this and placed above a fire to roast the nuts.
