Vintage LEE LOADER 10 Gauge Shotgun Shell Reloading Kit - eBay (item 310055030891 end time Jun-03-08 18:50:15 PDT)This vintage Lee Loader includes all the tools and instructions in the original box. The box is marked, "Lee, Lee Loader, Complete Reloading Tool--Quality Built."
There are great illustrated step-by-step instructions for reloading 10 gauge shotgun shells. The tools are lightly used, good for much more reloading.
WWII British Army No. 4 MK II 5 BAYONET, SCABBARD, FROG - eBay (item 310055027158 end time Jun-03-08 18:38:05 PDT)This WWII British Army bayonet is marked, "No. 4 MK II, 5" on one side a7789" on the other side. I see no maker's mark on the scabbard. I can't read what's stamped on the back of the frog except it starts out with a "2".
An eBay seller sold a bayonet like this and said it was for an Enfield rifle. Another seller said it was for probing mines which explains the somewhat screwdriver shaping on the tip.
Vintage GOP Elephant CAMPAIGN COOKIE CUTTER, Orig Box! - eBay (item 310055026237 end time Jun-05-08 18:34:23 PDT)This vintage tin cookie cutter is shaped like the GOP elephant and comes in the original box marked, "Campaign Cookie Cutter. Vote Republican. GOP." It makes 2 by 3 inch cookies.
Besides the vintage red, white and blue patriotic box, there's also the insert with ordering instructions. They offered 72 cutters at ten cents each at an address with no zip code. Another eBayer sold one recently and said this cookie cutter was produced during the Roosevelt Presidential campaign in the 1940's.
Antique Coal Furnace Tool PENINSULAR SHAKER Fire Tender - eBay (item 310055024509 end time Jun-03-08 18:28:56 PDT)This vintage tool is a Peninsular furnace shaker used to tend the coal fire. From time to time the fire needed shaken down or more coal added or ashes removed to keep the home fire burning. Lots of fun. The shaker is marked, "Peninsular, 2."
One shaped end fits over a furnace piece to do the work. The handle end looks somewhat like a fat screwdriver. I'm guessing this furnace shaker is made of steel.
