I'm cleaning out my grandfather's garage and am curious about a few items. 
Thanks for the assistance

Shawn

and this

and these too

#1 looks like part of a power hacksaw, maybe one of the kits that were sold years ago that made use of a washing machine gearbox to make the sawing action. That's my WAG only.

> part of a power hacksaw...

My WAG is it's a jig for sharpening lawnmower blades....

The second brass thing is the top of some cartridge filter, but there is no way I can guess what for...

The blue thing is an air line water seperator for compressed air. (it's not usable in that state btw;)

The last thing I dunno, part of a propane stove?

Cleaning out the garage is always a sure way to loose some hair headscratching - P

thanks, here is a link to some better pics

Chainsaw file guide?

Welcome to the site "vestsp". The 3rd picture down appears to be a condensate trap for an Air Compressor, that has seen better days. The one below it on first glance looks like it could be a power antenna for a automobile, but that is just a guess.

this is a pneumatic tool of some sort

The pneumatic tool might be some sort of a paint scaler if the 3 blades are hardened steel.

the blades are hardened steel and the ring around them appears to be adjustable for height, i actually found two of these tools

The top picture is definitely a chain saw file guide.

I agree, the chainsaw file guide was completely new to me, i actually found two of these also :)

The next two items are also curious.
(I'm not sure that i've ever seen a carb with a glass bowl before though)

Fuel pumps used to have glass bowls also, and were rebuildable. They were also where you could see them and work on them, not hidden in the fuel tank.

a few more discoveries that i have had time to photograph
