Ditto the above and 1063: stamping mill/rockcrusher. I'd guess for breaking up ore as part of a gold mining operation.

1062- I own one of these padlocks. Mine, at least, is used to lock a small wooden box. The box's latch has two holes in it, and flips down over two matching metal knobs which sport their own sideways holes. The metal bar of the lock (which is actually sort of toothpick-shaped) slides through the two knob-holes, and pokes back into the lock on the other side. The key goes in a hole on the unpictured side, and looks sort of like a small screwdriver. My late aunt brought the box/lock back from Japan in the 1950's, which is where it was probably made.
