The last item is for holding a newspaper.
In libraries.
Yep
You got it. Used them back in the day at college library.
We had them in our library as well.
The last item is to hold a news paper. They were very common in libraries.
Exactly, I just came to comment that same thing.
I concur!
Man, this makes me feel old. Printed media.
Insert the newspaper into the slots and a rubber ring over the end to hold together, most of the time there was a rack to store many news papers in one spot. I have seen the rod used for blueprints too.
Oh, my goodness, that bamboo seat brings back memories of farmers in South Africa sitting on them at stock sales, agricultural events and so on, wearing khaki shorts, long socks and velskoens
Last item looks like a newspaper holder from a library. The pages slid between the tines and the pole ends sat on a rack. ❤
Shooting stick & dibber; two items familiar from my childhood. Thanks for the memory
The strange wooden box at 2:38 mins. is not just a variometer, it is an early crystal radio with a variometer. The brass swivle was for the "Cat Whisker" that would make contact with the galena crystal seen in the round cup mount. This is from ca. 1920s.
I agree, the unit is a crystal receiver, the crystal is there, but the catswhisker shaft is missing, and there are too many connectors for a variometer, as they are for the antenna, ground and earphones.
The 2 things missing are the rack that the newspaper skewers sat on and a rubber band to secure the open end after the paper was slid in.
The last two look like the rods library’s put their newspapers on so the are held together by sections.
Last item is a newspaper rod used in public libraries the paper will be split and the rods placed between the pages at the fold. The end will then be taped up to stop the papers from falling out/being removed.
The last item is for holding newspapers. Each section would fit around one of the tines. When I used to work in a library during college, we used these.
Last items are newspaper holders. I remember the librarian applying a bit of paste to keep the paper from slipping off, or to paste on a half sheet.
That last item does such a good job of handling a newspaper, modern public libraries still use them.
Nice shooting stick! I've seen enough of them on 'Antiques Road Trip' to have spotted it right away.
I have a shooting stick and the item which is an early die for threading screws.
My great grandfather had an interesting dibber. It was a spearhead he took from a dervish soldier who didn't need it anymore after the Battle of Omdurman in September 1898, brought home as a souvenir and used it for that purpose for many years
These items are made to hold newspapers. The pages are separated so that the center spine fold is inside of the wooden spokes. A rubber band or "O" ring goes around the end to keep the papers from sliding out. They can then be placed in a bracket. I used these when I worked in the library during my high school years. They allowed for newspapers to be read and handled repeatedly without causing major damage to the fragile paper.
The real odd thing is the duck.....
Well it was a air duck duct of sorts lol for which I correctly IDENTIFIED We rented a older home in Ohio when I was a child, and the house had one of these ducts or vents for air. My first winter in the house was freezing cold as our mother had arranged a bookcase over the top of the duct and caused the house to be cold 🥶 as the air was not mixing properly. She finally reported the problem and that is the first thing the landlord told her to check and make sure that the air duct was not covered.
The last item was for newspapers. The library I worked at in the 1990s was still using them. They were hung on a rack and they were a good deterrent for theft. They were very old.
Holds a newspaper , usually found in a library. I worked in a library a long time ago.
Those wood things look like newspaper holders. We had the in our school library in the 60s and 70s.
saw those in a library years ago, they are used to hold newspapers, and allow people to read them without the folds
Library Newspaper rods - Flip each section of a newspaper open and slide each section onto one of the group of sticks so that the stick is in the middle fold, one stick per section. Usually, there's a rubber band or siilar at the "not handle" end to keep the sheets from falling out if the whole unit is tipped toward the floor. Then set the stick on the rack, and the whole newspaper hangs down through the rack waiting for somebody who wants to read it to grab the handle end, picking up the entire newspaper and taking it to a table, or whatever, where they can then flip through each page of each section. Tomorrow, when the new paper arrives, remove the rubber band, and the sheets are easily removed and ready to fold in half (back to the way you'd find them in a newspaper vending machine, for instance) and be added to the pile of back-issues. Our local library had a rack of these for 18 different local and regioanl papers when I was a kid.
2:37 This is not a variometer made by Northern Electric, rather it is a 1920's AM crystal radio which is tuned by the variometer. It is missing the shaft and "cat's whisker" that would have run trough the little metal ball, this would be used with the galena crystal to form a detector. The terminals are used to connect to Antenna, Ground, and a set of Headphones.
I got the wedge, shooting stick, record spindle, and return air grate. I knew the dibble was for planting seeds or bulbs but I had never heard the name for it. The last item is definitely for newspapers in the library. This has been my best outcome ever in these videos! I usually get maybe 1 or 2! 😉
In my house that Big vent had a wood stove underneath it and the heat rose and heated the upper floor
4:00 Thanks for the little history lesson!
I can confirm the last item is for holding newspaper. A librarian once threatened to paddle me with one if I yelled again. 😬
I knew the Shooting Stick straight away - seen many of them. Also the Hay Knife. I worked on a farm for many years and there was one in an old barn. HA HA I guessed the Record Player spindle too, and the Dibber - I'm on a roll this time 🙂
the first thing that came to mind on that last item was the Italian "Baston" or a beating cane. then I saw that it was not flexable enough then thought of the News Paper holders I had seen in libraries
👁👁 Happy to drop by
I got variometer, record change spindle and dibble,
grew up in a house with a gravityfree furnace
lol that 🐙 with the glowing cyclops eye always terrified me whenever i went fown into the basement as a child
Librarian's newspaper holder -- librarians would take each day's newspaper and place a section on each rod segment ... if there were an even number of pages it was easy ... just open the section of the paper to the middle and fold it over a rod segment ... for odd numbered sections, a line of glue would be applied to hold the loose center folio in the section then the section was slide over the rod segment. Front page, business, sports, life-style... all of the sections were held on their own piece of the rod. I remember there being a simple rubber band at the open end of the segments to hold them all closed -- the rod is only a small part of the larger library furniture, there is a wooden frame that has an angled open top with divets on the left and right to hold the ends of your rod -- the papers hang down and are very easy to lift out for reading.
Newspaper holders from a library
Got the screw plate and the return duct
Next to last item was a rubber ducky
Kindo stick. It is used for punishment for bad students and it was used mainly to teach sword fighting.
Sir what you have there is what we here call A Rubber Ducky.....
♥♥♥♥
❤
Had to skip back couple of seconds to check if it was RUG or RUGRAT beater, definitely a device to keep offspring in law and order.😅 Ok, next one can correct my guess, and disclamer; I do not condone physical discipline, don't bite my head for some dark humour.😵
Nahhh for that purpose you're gonna need a bigger BEATER!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@user-wm3bf7pi3u Nah, its all about the wrist and the springines of the cane. 👍😤 Oops, did just paint myself in the corner?😇 Who are you callng a hypocrite.😲
The last item was used in my local library in the 1980s for holding newspapers. Each section of the paper would be on a different 'shaft' of the handle.
The last thing is a newspaper holder. The newspaper would be fitted through the slats, and would hang downward (pages oriented sideways) and the entire thing suspended by the handle and far end in a frame. The papers would be arranged in rows on the notched frame. This enabled the librarian or archivist to lift the paper out, lay it flat on a desk, and read by turning the pages. When finished, the newspaper, on its spindle, would be returned to its slot.
