The steel
camp toaster from REI looks identical. #2. Some sort
of optical device. Don Davis says he thinks that prism like this
were look down at the street
from an upper story window to see who's at the door. So far have
not found anything similar on the Internet.

of ear trumpet is called a Miss Green Hearing Horn. Sears
Roebuck advertised a large one like this for $1.32 in 1902. In 1908 the
price had dropped to $1.25. #5. Apple corer. Here's
one from 1989 in good condition,
supposedly worth $100-$300. This
one has rust, estimated at $20-$40.

device looks similar to #8 but without the box and no brass.
#7. A sand
rammer for sand casting foundry work. At

2nd clip in the series on foundry casting shows
the hobbyist using both ends of the rammer.

oil, this electromagnetic device cures everything. Many of them
are for sale on the Internet. Here's
one in good condition. $150.
