    The last one is a commemorative “cricket” made to mark the Anniversary of the D-Day landing. The originals were originally intended for paratroopers to identify friend or foe as they were trying to link up in the hedgerows of Normandy.

    The pie crimper would also trim the crust at the edges of the pie tin.

    It's a replica souvenir "cricket clicker" to commemorate D-Day. The originals wouldn't have dates on them. "Débarquement" is the French word for "disembark".
    "After the parachute over Sicily in 1943, Major Taylor, the future commander of the 101st American Airborne Division, realized the importance of communication within the parachuted units in enemy territory. Indeed, scattered in many places, isolated parachutists had difficulty in finding their comrades without risking to expose themselves to the enemy fire.
    The Americans re-used the principle of a toy widespread at the time and which consisted of a spring steel blade squeezing once pressed.
    Only the 101st Airborne Division was equipped with crickets, and only the paratroopers of the division received it as an endowment a few days before June 6, 1944.
    Paratroopers were free to hang their cricket wherever they wished. Some kept it in the pockets of their jackets or trousers, others hung it around their necks or their helmets.
    Nowadays, many reproductions have been produced and it is not uncommon to hear the famous “clic-clac” at the commemorative ceremonies in Normandy."

    The pie crust crimper will also cut the crust as you go, fitting it to the edge of the pan perfectly.

    Last item is a "cricket" used by US forces in Normandy, for identification at night
    I remember these in cornflake Boxes in the 60s in Britain

      But the markings seemed to point to a commemorative item sold to the French public post war.
      6 Juin 1944 is 6 June 1944. Real Crickets are only stamped US.

    The last item is a cricket used by the paratroopers on dday in Normandy. Le débarquement du 6 juin 44 is the usual french term for D day.

    @billpark8988 9 дней назад +8

    That last item is s cricket clicker used by the Allied forces during the invasion of Normandy in 1944. With the inscription I am sure this a reproduction, no doubt intended as a souvenir commemorating the D-Day anniversary.

    When I was a volunteer library assistant in junior high back in the early 1960s we still used the newspaper holders along with the display rack they rested in.

    A spud get is used to punch down telephone wires a computer network wires onto terminal blocks. The one shown in the video is an older style but still used for computer network wires. The style used for telephones have a rectangular hole. New styles are spring loaded to make punching the wires to the terminal blocks easier

    The last object is souvenir replica of the "D-Day cricket" used by US paratroopers to identify friend or foe in the dark. You squeeze the open end which produces a loud click. One click was to be answered by two. 7000 "crickets" were produced for this purpose by Joseph Hudson & Co of Birmiingham England, better known as Acme Whistles. The Acme 470 Clicker is still being produced and can be purchased online.

    The pic showing the pie crust crimper in use had the gadget UPSIDE DOWN ! The bottom crust goes in the pan, it's filled, then the top crust goes on. The crimper is is used with the curved side downward and against the pan, as this is the TRIMMER. The fluted roll then crimps the crusts together as the trimmer cuts the edge of the crust flush with the pie pan.

    D-Day invasion "cricket" - Used by the allies to make a recognition signal to avoid friendly fire. This is a reproduction/commemorative unit - indicated by the date and slogan stamp - Originals didn't have either. It should have a little metal tongue in it. Press and release the tongue to flex it, and it'll make a pretty distinctive, and surprisingly loud, "click-clack" sound. Today, some folks use a very minor variation of this same thing to do what's called "clicker training" with horses, dogs, and other critters. Click when you treat, and eventually, the click BECOMES the treat.

    5:02 It's a pastry trimmer for the top of pies. The curved blade trims off the excess pastry and the wheel creates a pattern that seals the top pastry to the side/bottom pastry.

    When I worked summers for Western Electric in Chicago in the early 1960s, I recall them being called "spludgers," which Wiki gives as an alternative. Thanks for the memories!

    I haven’t heard the word “cricket”:used in this way for a very long time! As a kid back in the 50s we had toys that made this same sound! I didn’t know the Army has these but I sure did recognize the date! And I got the lie crimped right away - just had never seen one this old!!

    I knew what the pie crust crimper is. My grandmother had one and used it to crimp her pie crust edges and also she used it to crimp the crust together like for a apple pie .

    I recognized the bunion shoe stretcher. I seem to remember seeing ads for them on TV when I was growing up.
    I think you've had a pie crust crimper on before, but it was a while ago. I have one that's almost identical to this, and it was my grandmother's.

    Thats a "frog/cricket" clicker used on D Day by the US Army Airborne rangers units to signal for other American soldier's spread out that night, they had all parachuted in behind enemy lines to carry out search and destroy of key nazi locations, they worked well for the purpose intended. I don't remember seeing June 6, 1944 and government stamped on them though, mine just has US and a tiny "bursting bomb" US Army Armory Acceptance stamp. I've seen them with manufacturers names too. The order for those items for the US government was top secret, the army command got the idea and needed the order filled and delivered a week before D day so a number of manufacturers produced them,,,
    That day, the longest day,,,❤❤❤❤❤God bless America

    The last thing looks like a holder for box matches, possibly missing the strike plate?

  • @aarondavis8433

    the bunion stretcher was also commonly used as a pitting tool (olive cherrys etc)

    • @capers72424
      @capers72424 9 дней назад +3

      Anything big enough to use for stretching shoes would likely be too large for olives and cherries.

  • @joemack1965

  • @ThePaulm1

    The item that he was questioning was not the pie crust machine but the very end item and that is a large kitchen matchbox holder. I suppose you did not watch until the very end.

  • @jeanettemarkley7299
    @jeanettemarkley7299 9 дней назад +2

    well, it's European because of how the date is written with day, month, year like sane people would. It might be French because Juin sounds French? Did it hold cigarettes?

  • @sheliabacon3337

    Obviously no value in this video
