What is it?

Aluminum should make it non-sparking. Cheaper than working with beryllium I assume.

Here's a few random things.
I'm assuming machine fixtures of the homemade variety.

Any railroad guys from Canada?
Found it in Burwash Yukon

Looks like a weight for a platform scale.

On the block and rounds. I'm trying to see where the connections of that coil(?)are at.
Oddity of the plastic bit makes me wonder if that was done for magnetic isolation or electrical.
mmm..practice part from machining class?

The railroad piece looks like an unfinished casting that might have become a control lever in the engine cab.

Can't recall for certain, but everyone just called them a pry-bar.
Usually would see some Hilman rollers around if there as a big stick on the job

Simplex Railroad jacks (lever type) were sometimes in the crowd too.

We call em a Swede.
Also called a "Johnson bar" to be more politically correct.

I've got quite a bit of swedish blood in me so I guess I'll stick with calling it a swede.

I'm thinking it's maybe some kind of anchor?

Looks kinda like a wedge anchor for concrete, though I'd say that one is for some other application.

No clue.....

No clue.....

Looks like a tool that can be used on model airplanes to create rivet lines. I am sure there are other applications, maybe even perforation lines on something.

Those are lather working tools, specifically the roller ends are stich markers that you trace along a pattern for a certain # stitch count. Ive also seen them used to transfer a chalk pattern to a soft material or fabric.

The larger wheel might be a perf cutter for leather as it kind-a looks sharpened, but I have never seen such an animal nor can I think of a reason to perf cut leather......just a bigger space stich count IMO

All I know the previous owner did some bottle washing, so I assume they are some sort of water pump parts.
Two more posts will follow.

Second part

[dangerousatom]

looks like old-skool jet pump parts, kinda works like the stack impeller plate thing on a shop vac
