Post a Comment On: What is it?

It isn't an ice tong. Looking at the design, it appears to be designed to force the curved tip together when force is applied to the handle.

It could be used to pull two ends of wire/rope together that is around a bundle or a bale...allowing it to be banded more tightly.

oops, the prior two commnets were about item 447.

442. looks like a short or borken 'easy-out'. Used to take out a screw or bolt with a broken head.

442. I also think it's an "easy-out " tool designed to remove a broken screw.

Haven't been able to verify what this is yet.

Correct

Similar to a sinking hammer, but this one goes by another name.

Forgot to answer this one, it's just a rounded face.

442. This particular easy-out appears to have been designed for a specific purpose: to remove a piece of threaded pipe that has broken off inside a fitting.

445. Izmel or circumcision knife.

446. Ice cube tray.

Not sure but you could be right about that.

I'll go with puncture test tool on the first one, and don't have any idea on the second tool.

447 - This is quite possibly a release mechanism for a drop door on an old farm dump wagon.
The T like casting would be fastened to the side. The handle is offset to allow clearance for your hand when operating.

447. Looks log a log roller from a sawmill.

443. Looks like a bodyman hammer for tapping out dents.

>>446. Ice cube tray.

>Yes

What keeps the water from draining out of the curved slots in the side of the container?

Sounds reasonable, and explains the bracket on the back.

>447. Looks log a log roller from a sawmill.

I'll see what I can find on that.

>443. Looks like a bodyman hammer for tapping out dents.

It could be used for that, but was made for a similar but slightly different purpose.

>>>446. Ice cube tray.

>>Yes

>What keeps the water from draining out of the curved slots in the side of the container?

This was used to make ice cubes before people had freezers in the home. As seen in the second photo, the plug is removed and hot water poured in; the plug is put back in and the tray is placed upside down on a sheet or block of ice. The slots are to let water and air out as the hot tray melts into the block, cutting cubes as it goes.
