I don't know what the beads are, but that brass one that twists open is a barrel clasp! Cord goes through the hole at the end and is knotted and pulled back. Same on the other side, connecting two ends of a cord with beads strung on it. Like a necklace or bracelet.
Lignum Vitae have been used for bowling balls and as bearings, but here is our best guess, "A large lignum vitae plumber's bobbin in heart and sap wood, which were fitted with a string cord and pulled through lead pipes to remove any dents and irregularities. " Lead Pipe repair tools!
Best guess is the wooden beads are rollers that go around the mast of a sailing ship and the central line through them is used fasten to the yardarms to the mast thus smoothing the hoisting and lowering of various sails.
I've known the term 'sitz-bath' for as long as I can remember, and that's what came to mind seeing the porcelain one. The oval metal ones are most commonly seen, at least in movies such as 'Cat Ballou' (1965). I deduced the coin scale once the coin information was mentioned. I think I've seen variations of it on 'Antiques Road Trip'. The shaving of gold or silver of coins is why 'milling' is used today, so that any tampering can be seen immediately,
I got the gramophone needle and knew that the Helmholtz coil was some type of electromagnet but not the name or use. I knew the pocket blockers for the pool table by the four corners and two sides but not what they were used for, and recognized the coin scale given the coin information on it. I think the wooden beads are for inserting into copper pipe so it doesn't kink when you bend it. As to the saw guide, I believe it's for a large crosscut saw as it has a slight radius that looks like it would match the 6' two-man saw that was in my grandfather's garage since before I was born and is now mine. This was a really good day for me!
You are correct and beat me to the post. They are indeed parrel beads. They are strung on a length of line and roll along the mast to make the hoisting of yards easier.
At least I identifies the radio power transformer. The multiple taps gave it away. Those old tube sets used multiple voltages and drew lots of power for the filaments.
Hey, ya' got something old & not sure what it is or does? Give a few good bashes on the table and maybe something will " POP " out of to indicate what it does. Where do these people come from? Bedrock?
oh dear, I got four right. The last item I will guess the beads have something to do with stringing some kind of cording of some sort. Possibly for nets or sails.
Wow that "sound Box looks so heavy that it looks like it would curl up the record as it played. Probably didn't get many playings before the grooves were gone... lol
I would guess that that VERY heavy head was counter balanced on the other end of the arm with either a weight or a spring so that very little pressure was applied to the needle, the heavier the head, the truer the sound, the vibrating needle transfered the vibrations to the thin tin peice for the sound!!??
They really weren't that heavy or large and back then records were made out of a hard mixture of wax and shellac and were about a half inch thick, and later were made out of the same mixture but with a bit of clay so they didn't have to be as thick.
I recognized the "head" of the record player arm by its needle. Considering the placement in the bathroom, I guessed the Sitz bath. They were also used by hemorrhoid sufferers.
The lighter looking wooden balls are from an old shearing machine. They are attached to a length of cord, which operates the on/off gearing for the drive shaft.I have an old, operating shearing unit. Has them on it. 😊.Greetings from the Little DESERT region of Victoria, Australia.
@@Ron-d2s If you survive them, only got things that will poison you, or eat you! Got brown snakes here, in my paddocks. LOL. Have a wonderful day. Greetings from Victoria.
RE; the first item, the saw tooth dresser, the poster doesn't know the difference between 5 inches & 6 inches for their ruler? Seriously? I guess they call out measurements by saying " it's two inches & three little marks before you get to the next big mark"...... And the rest of the world wonders why we don't convert to metric? Apparently we can't even learn inches. Pardon me while I hang my head in shame for this other individual.
It's a metal purse, I believe they are manufactured in India. They were popular in the late 70s/early 80s, and typically sold at Pier 1 Imports and the Laise Adzer boutique chain. They are still being made, but not as fashionable today.
The last items look like a set of wooden graduated beads that could be strung on a cord and the brass barrel clasp used to finish it off. Maybe a show off piece by a woodworker.
Happy to drop by…😊
Coin scale : the term chiseler was used when a person would shave off gold/silver from coins
It was called 'coin clipping'. Readed edges were eventually added to coins to counter this chiseling
Nice piece of info. Thanks.

This channel is both the 'itch' and the 'scratch'. Like old mozzie bites, it's immediately very satisfying.

Old large wash tubs were commonly used in the average home in the past. Have seen illustrations before.
Cat Ballou, one of my favorite movies!
@@Ivan-cr3vc True, but they were general purpose for doing laundry, washing dishes, etc., not purpose-built like the sitzbath.

I guessed the coin scale, and I knew the spindle whorls. Two is a pretty good score, for me anyway!
Last item look like parrel beads. They would be on a bit of line and connect the yoke of the boom to the mast.

The wooden beads are patel beads for the jaws of a gaff on a gaff rigged sail.
Yup - beat me to it. That's exactly what they look like.
They used to make steamship bearings from lignum vitae, because it is incredibly tough and hard, as well as self lubricating.
Just like my mother-in-law!
At least I identifies the radio power transformer. The multiple taps gave it away. Those old tube sets used multiple voltages and drew lots of power for the filaments.
Enjoyed the content and comments. Never heard of parrel beads before, but such an ingeneous invention.
Could the beads be weights for the edge of a thrown fish net?
That was my thought too.

Yeah, ever hear of WD40?
Got the gramophone head, sitz bath, and pool table plugs. Not bad.
oh dear, I got four right. The last item I will guess the beads have something to do with stringing some kind of cording of some sort. Possibly for nets or sails.
only half right. Beads are corded together for plumbing repairs in metal pipes which is why they are made of hard woods.

Early records of the 78 and 16 variety were made of a hard lacquer.

The arm that holds this had counterweights to lessen the load
They really weren't that heavy or large and back then records were made out of a hard mixture of wax and shellac and were about a half inch thick, and later were made out of the same mixture but with a bit of clay so they didn't have to be as thick.

Aluminium, seems to be a metric name. ;-)
Always wonder why its a problem Many other elements end in "ium" ie Uranium Titanium ect

When I was a kid I wanted to go to Australia, then I realize it was flooded most of the year and on fire for the rest.

Cool, thanks
@@nancycurtis7315 The only way I'd go to Australia would be if I had a dear friend there who I could trust to alert me to the local hazards.
The wooden shapes are used by old school lead plumbers, as formes for the lead.
I have an old sitzbath at home.
Used it quiet often till i became to fat around the hips.
Now i would get stuck....😂

Bilingual people are seen as educated and worldly, but even having a basic understanding of more than one system of measurement is alien and weird.
Calm down everyone. I’m sure he meant no harm. Go back home and put your pitch forks back in the barn.
It's a Victrola needle and sound chamber.
Victrola was a brand. These were produced for a different brand
I only got the sitz bath 😢

We believe that the devise at 2:19 is a bidet for a horse. Are we correct?

The last items came with chicken feathers and koala poop and a horn that played one note aboriginal stuff twirled around to make magic spells.
