There was a tool box I bought for $7.50 but someone had moved some of the items, so it was a bit of a disappointment.
There was a lot of junk hardware but here are the interesting pieces.

Top - an apparently home made hacksaw,  a bearing scraper?,  some kind of puller made of wire and an aluminum handle.  This looks familiar but I haven't a clue what it's for - more photos below.  Imperial Brass flare tools, the one on the left has a 1/4 square on the top. A knurled handle?, Herbrand T-100 - an eBay ad says it's a valve adjuster tool - the shaft is sprung and recedes into the handle. An assortment of Cman, Mac and an Indestro square sockets 1/2 drive.
Here's the "basket" end of the wire tool - it reminds me of chinese handcuffs.

And here's the puller end.

Herbrand tool pushed in.

And for $1 I bought a tire balancer and they threw in three vulcanizers. 


There was another cheap looking vulcanizer and also this one - is this a vulcanizer?  Or something else?

I also bought a pet ramp for our dog to get in the car, a child's rocking chair for our granddaughter, a couple plant stands, and  a sewing machine ($11) that my wife says she can sell for a couple hundred!  After I clean it and rewire it, of course!

The wire thingie is for pulling rope seals around a crankshaft so you don't have to drop the crankshaft down.

Thanks Doc!

Here's another style of that rear main seal tool. I found it recently , soiled package , but unused.
It was a common place for a leak , not so much anymore. The new rear main seals are in the $40 area , and are one piece. You have to remove the transmission to install.

The Longman vulcanizer was made for uncle sam, that is an NSN on it..
Strange, because I would have thought no one was doing those types of tire repairs by the time they started using NSN's (late WWII)...but maybe
Or perhaps rubber boat or blimp repair...?)

The last photo is a table clamp for clamping something to a table.  I once knew what, but that particular bit of knowledge has been misfiled.

The clamp thingie I think is upside down and goes with vulcanizer. You lay the inner tube over it so you can prepare tube for vulcanizing like cleaning and roughing. Used also for cold patching.

I agree the last photo is not a vulcanizer.  It's certainly a table clamp.  The back part of it is round - that would be facing up on the table when clamped  on a table.  You can just see the round part at the bottom in the photo.

Thanks

4910-243-3130 is listed as basic equipment for the Southwest Model SEORL
Shop Set, a 6 wheel Army portable maintenance vehicle that came with tools, welding machine etc.
Manual is from 1971...

Herbrand tool pushed in.

That's for adjusting OHV valve lash with the engine running and spraying oil everywhere.

I have one of the last item also.  I've shown it to a couple people and one thought it might be a type of jewelers anvil. However, the surface seems a little rough for that job.

I found a photo yesterday, copied it, and this morning I can't find the dratted photo.  However, this table clamp holds a steel plate to a bench top.  The plate is the rest of the tool.  There's a hole in the plate near the center that the clamp tilts through.  One end of the plate has a V shaped cut out  like those on jeweler's wooden examples for supporting something you are sawing.  I forget what the other side is shaped like.

I think you have a clamp for a jeweler's saw plate.

amecks,

I don't think your newly found "apparently home made hacksaw" is home made.  I know plomb/proto made just such a compact hacksaw frame. 

I'm not saying yours is plomb/proto (though it could be) but it is factory made.  I'll check my old catalogs and see what I can find.

Back in a bit...

Here ya go:



Now that I've seen the above catalog entry I'm sure this is what your hacksaw is.

Thanks for helping identify these items.

Branson,  if you get time and can find that photo, that would be good.  With the suggestions here I found a past auction on eBay with the exact same clamp.
"Vintage Blacksmith/Machinist/Jewelers/Metal Working Bench Hammering Clamp Tool"  -  in other words, he didn't know what it was either!!!

Lauver, Wow, I am surprised that is a brand name tool.  I will have to examine it again but I was pretty sure there are no markings on it.  Also the handle is a heavy tubular piece, and the end is open and unfinished - it's smooth but it's cut square not rounded edges.  It is definitely a sturdy tool and the blade is held very rigidly.

Thanks.
Al

amecks,

For the record, the hacksaw is a Proto model 344 ca. 1954.
