It followed me home (Part 2)

Spent $12 today on these two. The norlund came from a fire department, where it was used on the trucks. The plumb was in the firefighters cabin.

Yes, the norlund is hung upside down.

That Plumb is gorgeous. I'm jealous.

I don't know what these things are. Does anyone have any ideas?

The upper right looks like a saw set.

FWIW: From what I can see, I think so too. I manipulated your picture and combined it with one I found on the net:

The one from the net is one of Morrill's patents and is in fact made by Morrill. There are tons of saw sets in different styles/configurations. Not saying yours is a Morrill or one based on one of their patents. I'm just an amature hobbyest with an interest in such things. But what stands out to me is the "L" shaped "anvil" with the perpendicular adjusting screw. The "wing nut" on the front of yours I don't think is typical, at least on saw sets that I've seen. Anyway, neat find.

I realize these things are pretty common..No 966 10 inch.. but this one had a nice color and seemed to have a good bit of age...$8.00 so hard to leave at the thrift shop.A friend said they had a program at his work where they would take in old tools and send them overseas to places where electricity wasn't readily available and he saw "thousands" of old Bit Braces and shipped them off...so maybe they are becoming rare...;)

They're a good tool and some of the later models would accept either the old square taper bits or round bits. I keep one around.

Bought these of an old guy who collects axes, he had a lot more but couldn't spend too much. Definitely plan to keep in touch he was really nice and I had a good time looking at his collection with him. Definitely will buy more as he had a bunch of nice old pieces

Nice stamp on that Douglas Axe!

Thanks man, I had never seen one before and the guy actually had two of them. The other was a jersey but a little bigger, no handle, stamp was a little bit worn but the bit was in better shape. Went with this one cause of the better stamp and the handle was a really cool shape although broken. I live close by to where these were produced so they really caught my eye, may end up buying the other later on. The black Raven looks worse than it actually is, it's not perfect but it's not bad at all.
 
Kind of an aside but just something else to put on your radar....very high quality wrenches are going for cheap these days...I got these 2 for $3.00 for both...Gordon Tools was out of Sheffield England and well Craftsman is Craftsman...I will go back now and try to score a nice Craftsman adjustable wrench because I'm sure this place had a few examples.

Looks too light to be a drag hook for logging - the tongs usually face inwards, I believe.

There isn't a shaped or attached ring to connect a line or chain.

Meat hanging or hay use?

Just thinking out loud - don't recognize it but I'm curious as well.

I believe that is used to move cast iron pots or kettles over a fire. You can also hang them on a green branch over the fire to cook with! It folds up so you can pack it away in your gear,
 
That plier thing with ball ends is to maneuver cattle what have not been fitted with a nosering.
It can be simply inserted in the nose & grasped as a handle of sorts. Or a rope threaded thru those holes, Lashed to a stick what allows the leader some distance & safety from a pissedoff bull.

As an aside,
Its comical to see now days people of a certain demographic fitting themselves with nose rings.
It must illustrate their desire to be lead by somebody else.

That big caliper with 90° pointy things seems to me a scribing tool of some purpose.

Can anyone verify if a diamond/triangle shape stamp with Wheeling inside is Warwood tool Company? It's on an old grub hoe/forest adze.I contacted Warwood still in business BTW and they can't.

Surfing around and saw this pic....Is this what a mint NOS Black Raven looks like or is it embellished? Pretty nice to get your hands on one I would imagine.
