The last item is a cobbler's lamp. The candle light is magnified by the orb and the magnifying glass is used to further magnify the light and direct it on the item you are working on. You adjust the candle stick height along as the candle shrinks. Makes a lot of light from a single candle, thus is a lot cheaper than using many candles.
Such a device can be used for many jobs like fine metalworking.
I'm glad when people hang onto these kinds of objects long after they become obsolete. What a lovely, elegant piece of equipment! Now I want to see the lathe that was used to machine the delicate brass parts.
Seamstresses used them also.
Lacemakers also used them as the linen thread they used for the lace was delicate and had to be worked indoors away from sun. The globe usually contained lime water which would disperse the candlelight more evenly.
Leave it in the room where it doesn't get sunlight. As a friend had his house started on fire by one!
I have no Idea where the name Cobblers light comes from, but that is sometimes called a students lamp (used as illumination for a Microscope )but it was in more regular use to aid a seamstress who would require more bright light for sewing or embroidery.
The Delft mapping stereoscope was in use in Canada from 1955 onwards. My Mom was a air-photograph interpreter for the Canadian Department of Mines and Technical Services from 1953-1955 during the first comprehensive mapping of Canada. She used a “pocket stereoscope” which folds flat and fits in a leather sleeve. You would unfold it and place it above your two air photos to achieve a 3-D image to determine the type of terrain, type of vegetation, etc. She created terrain maps for the topographic maps. The Delft came out just as she left to get married (married women weren’t allowed to work for the government in those days) so she never used it.
I still have her pocket stereoscope in its sleeve. She was, by then, a geography teacher and would get sets of air photos and a corresponding topographic map so I could learn how to interpret the photos and compare them to the top-maps.
I meat to add that the Delft was far more accurate for reading air photos but that it was cumbersome because the knobs to adjust were on either side of the stereoscope so you couldn’t use one hand to move the apparatus or the air-photos and the other to work the knobs.
Your last item is one half of a Hooke Microscope dating back to around 1670. This half was a crude way of columinating light and using the magnifying lens to bring the focal point onto the specimen being studied. The missing half held the specimen and a tube of lenses to be looked through (the actual microscope itself). Although this one has a candle, others burned a small oil lamp which did not require constant adjustment to compensate for the shortening of the candle as it burned down.
Last item could be a lacemaker's lamp. Light from candle is aimed by the globe to put a spot of light directly into the working area of bobbin lace. Mine does not have the magnifier. It works great for showing position of the pinholes while braiding lace after sundown.
I recognized the door harp, though I'd forgotten what it was called.
The last item looks familiar, but I can't place it. It reminds me of a lace-maker's lamp, but I doubt it is.
I'm seeing many names for that last item, but I've seen it as a lacemaker's or sewing lamp. The water globe both directs the candlelight & can be used as a larger magnifyer.
2:25 The Playskool Parking Garage... I've still got mine.
Good eye!
It’s a good thing that the last item doesn’t get direct sunlight, that would scorch the table or outright start a fire! My daughter did a sun tracking experiment one winter with a water globe and paper that almost burnt the house down!…..
The first item, the part with the propeller blades is called a "log". The whole thing was dragged behind ships and used for measuring distance travelled at sea.
Good thing it doesn't get direct sunlight, it would start a fire. Same thing with a crystal ball always keep them covered.
I love my door harp!😊
I have a door harp on my door. I’ve had it for 30 years.
Finally, someone used a banana for scale!
Didn't the ancient Egyptians use bananas to lay out the great pyramid of Khufu?
That item at 6:58 is Swedish. The writing on it it ses "Welcome"
The cream separator is 20th century.
Last item: It's used to observe light in some way, passing through the water.
The curette is a bone curette. I can't remember the proper name---different styles were designed by and named for surgeons.
So, it's not an ice cream scoop for mice?
Osteopathic curette?
Orthopedic.
The last item is a student’s lamp.
What happened to the audio in the video. It's so low that i can hear what is sed without cranking up the volume to max 😧
L'absence de soutitrage est regrettable dommage
