The first picture is of positioning rivets for sheet metal work.

The second one is a container that should hold a little screw driver, a cork screw, an awl etc. ( I have one if you want a photo of the bits and how they go together )

Thats very clever. Those first bits came in a box of rivets, and i had no clue what they were. Still cant picture how they work..

The second one is solid brass so it must be a bit old? If you could show me what came in yours, i might have one of them knocking about as well.

 

[Dave]

Let me dig something out that will test you....

 

[Robbi]

Here you go, my set is missing a couple of bits though.

 

[Dave]

That is brilliant, cheers. I hadnt realised it worked like that!!!

Top ones are called "gripper pins" or "skin pins", only cleaned my set up the other week.

Those in the photo look as though they're turned around, indicating that they are worn out.

That's an interesting item indeed....Hmmm

Need some ideas throwing around ........how about an old curtain pole end ?

 

[Dave]

no. dont think so. no idea really though.... It could be foreign, my grandparents deceased now, used to go to egypt a bit...?! could be completely wrong of course..

 

[nuggets]

Number 5:

think it is a plumb bob (translated it from the dutch word 'schietlood', used in construction)

 

[Dave]

No I dont think so.......no.......maybe a really old fashioned thing for stubbing out a cigar? No.....dont know.

The body is as heavy as lead, i dont know if its solid copper, and ive just noticed it says on the bottom made in england reg no 893536 which if you type in google, givs you a few similiar items....brass copper vases......etc dont know what it was for though.

...looks a bit like the weight that sits on top of an old pressure cooker- would it work as a pressure release valve?
