Set 151
866. 7-1/2" long:
867. Submitted by a visitor hoping to identify this tool, etched into it is "88th" and "US". Here is the owner's description of it:
The handle part is about 6" long and the front section is about 3". Width is about 3/4". We have found "42A1474" stamped on the ratchet (serrated thing). The screw threads in and out and it appears to be used to clamp something in the upper jaw. The surfaces of the lower jaw are smooth. We received this from a 83 year young person who has had it forever and he said it could have been his fathers or grandfathers.
868. 3-1/2" long:
869. Another unidentified item sent in by a visitor:
3" long:
870. Approximately 16" long, more guesses on this one can be found on Neatorama.
871. 7" long:

869. I am only guessing, but this looks like a bleeder valve combined with an over pressure controller. Sort of like the weight on a pressure cooker except this one incorporates a one-way valve that keeps the pressure the same as ambient.

that is a check valve used for brewing alcoholic beverages
it allows the CO2 from the process
to escape while keeping out air that
would ruin the brew process
