What is it?

I've been collecting unusual objects for quite a while, and several years ago I started posting them on this site as puzzles for visitors to figure out what they are. Most of the items are mine but a few belong to others, if you aren't interested in tools there are plenty of other type objects that have also been posted.

For first time visitors I recommend this archive for a wide variety of some of my best pieces.

  • 806-Metal"works" from a shoe stretcher..would have had 2 piece wooden or fiber human foot facsimile around outside.Turning knob spread the "foot" and stretched a tight fitting shoe.Note""foot" often had small holes drilled in common places for corns/bunions,so metal"shims" could be attached to spot stretch the shoe.

  • 809 Looks like a variety of wire cutting / crimping / stripping tool. By its size, it is for large gauge wires.
