interesting photos of items that might be tools? The puzzle is to tell what they are and how they’re used. I’m guessing the third one is some kind of table crumb collector? Or maybe for cigar smokers?
On the page are more links to other sets of items to be identified
the second looks like a pair of early rivet pliers….used to hold the red-hot rivet into the holewhile the man on the other side pounds it down. i could be wrong though.
I’ve got a Twilight Zone DVD—and among the “extras” was a clip from a game show that Rod Serling hosted. I disremember the name of it, but it was just like this—a celebrity panel was given some thing (usually bits of machines or obscure tools) and had to come up with an explanation for it. One was secretly given the right answer, and the others were trying to trick the contestant.
