Eureka! That one part is called the mast base. It's simply a strong universal joint. Will let someone else decide who officially won. Close call. Wayne was right, Peter was more right. This is a strange new era ... participation trophies for all?

Oh interesting! Wonder if I can buy my fermenting airlocks cheaper if I look at medical supply places....?
Thank you for an odd idea!

And while I'm thinking about it, the parachute pull from the start of this game, the last thing posted about it was someone saying definite ID depended on how big it is (I forget the exact wording) I took another picture of it, with scale, and keep forgetting to post it.

Cool. Was hoping someone would post a left handed bacon stretcher or anything to keep the game going.

That's a reserve parachute ripcord handle. Trust me on that.

The new tool appears to be part of a specialized wood plane but no idea of the exact purpose.

oh, now that thought is going to give me nightmares

Possible it's a hand drill, but I haven't seen that kind of chuck on a regular drill. Maybe it's very old style? Possible I am just not up on all the older types. None of my old hand drills have that kind.

I may be wrong, it may be a drill type I don't recognize, but I have only seen that type of chuck on sewer snakes...
That's my guess :) If I'm wrong I'd say it's a drill that takes the square type brace bits (I have a bunch of those, I want that thing, whatever it is!) (not the sewer snake, have those, they are nowhere near as cool as the left handed bacon stretcher!)




And unrelated: Awesome dumpster kill to show off!!  I love the random reward sport of trash picking and thrift stores :)



And if you guys haven't seen the thread I'm running here about thrift store clothes, it's kinda fun to see what I do to some of the things I drag home.

And I still have few guesses on Brian's thing. Clamps something in place, but that's all I can guess.

 That is brilliant, but I can't verify it, because I really don't know, and now that you said that I really really don't know, smiles. Technically what you suggest fits better than a tool vice, because there is no adjusting for different width tools.

Learned something new trying to figure out for sure what the drill type device was. Did find a few old drills (braces) with that type of chuck but the drive mechanisms weren't quite the same. Then stumbled across these. Not quite what they appear to be. Seemed interesting.

I'm pretty sure Brian's tool is a saw tooth jointer (or maybe "joiner"). It holds a file to make sure a handsaw's teeth are all the same length before sharpening them with a triangle file.

I don't know what those pistol looking things are, maybe they tested the gunpowder some how? It looks like it has some sort of meter on it.

Correct. They are black powder testers. They needed to know how strong it was so they knew how much to load.

That is a saw tooth setter, for bending the teeth on a saw blade to make the kerf wider and the saw cut easier.

It is a different adjusting mechanism than the two I have, probably a good bit older; the wedge shaped part slides up and down, and the top adjustable part moves and locks to exactly fit the thickness of the saw blade. The farther up the wedge moves, the longer the teeth it can handle. (The actual tooth bender is hidden inside the shell, and is pushed against the flat part of the wedge when the handle is squeezed. The blade sits at the wedge angle to the tool, and the tooth is bent plumb.)

Yay Glenn! Apple for you!

The problem with this game is I end up with a shopping list... "ooh, I want one of those!" And I do. I have a bunch of handsaws (30 or so) and I want one of those. I know how to sharpen the blades, never thought about the kerf set. Since I am a low upper body strength female, easier cutting would be a good thing.

Yes, amazing.
No wonder I couldn't see the action. thank yo for this precision description Glen.
There is a wealth of knowledge out here. Over on BYAP Nhibbo also nailed it with Shapleigh diamond edge saw set pliers.
There are two more oddities in this collection. I'll post up ASAP.

Not sure what that's supposed to cut, I'd try them on sheet metal if I had them.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I'm guessing that is a barbed wire cutter. Sure looks like it has some serious leverage.

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

Hmm?
No scratch makes from barb wire or metal cutting anywhere on it. Plastic handles,  no spring return. I have one answer from my newsletter that sounds highly likely. So I'll let this simmer here.  
Sitting in an Optometrist's chair a few days ago the doctors said, "Okay now cover your right eye and continue guessing."

I just tried to cheat, ran it through Google Image Search. It says "adjustable spanner."  Lame guess google, no apples for you! Google is not a tool using animal!
