More from Sunday
« on: February 09, 2018, 06:32:23 PM »
Hello, At top is a mystery to me, stamped Patented May 18 1884, which is not a correct patent date. Overall length is 14". Bottom left I have figured out, has a Patent Date of Oct.6 25, also has a company stamp, but that would be too easy!!!!!!   Bottom right I also have an idea, but am looking for confirmation, piece is unmarked. Thanks, lou

Well, the top one is clearly for measuring out just enough spaghetti for one adult (use both holes if measuring for a teenager).

The bottom one looks like a depth gauge for an auger bit.

Hello, bill. We never measure the spaghetti around here, you just cook the whole box, and when the kids are done, you make another one for the adults!!!!!!!!! Your guess is the same as mine on the auger bit depth gauge. The piece on bottom left is drill related. Thanks, Lou

Could the bottom left piece be a clamp to put on a wood drill bit to make a countersunk hole?

Hello, Bottom left is an adjustable countersink attachment. It is stamped OTIS A SMITH ROCKFALL CONN. PAT. OCT. 6  25 . I believe the patent belongs to Fales, but I was unable to find a number. Thanks again, Lou

The wooden part looks like it goes to a pedal/treadle machine. Sewing? jig saw? lathe? a number of types of ends used.
connecting rod is the term I think they use, can not find a pic of one of my saws.

Is it for a sewing machine or a wood working tool?
a simple one I copied from a jig saw.
