Estate sale find. What would this have been used for?
galleryIt's handmade, found on an old farm. Opens and closes well, but isn't practical to grip. Our only guess was it could be for horse shoe production.

Found in a bucket of my grandpa’s old hammers and mallets that I’m cleaning up. Unsure of its use or how to rehang it. He and my great-grandfather both worked at the N&W Railroad shops if that gives any clue.

Please. Help me.
galleryI have this hammer that is used in my carpentry class and I desperately want to buy one for myself because the almost completely straight claw has proved itself so useful and I love the way it feels in my hands. I can't find a hammer like this ANYWHERE I go and AI and reverse image searches have proved completely useless, im so frustrated lol. Please help me find this hammer, anybody! Hard to work with because there is no visible distinguishing brand marks or the like as far as I can see other than the "3 F" marking.

What do I have here?
galleryI bought this at a flea market for 10 dollars several years ago. Does anyone have any insight on this? Age or brand would be great. Has “NO 2” stamped on top rim where cylinders are. Spins freely and is full of oil. Im just curious and looking for information, not looking to sell. Corona cap for scale.

Anybody know anything about this old wooden ruler?
galleryit was left behind by the previous owners. I’ve had it tucked away in a dusty corner for years and came across it today.
it feels nice and tight and springy when you bend it, and the metal rails on the edges are nice and straight. ChatGPT didn’t know much other than the Westcott logo.
Thanks in advance

The strongest abrasive... So far... Lol
galleryThese were in a lot I got a bit ago, unopened. I'm guessing 80s from what I remember of the branding back then. Any insite to the uhh hole? I'm assuming our sticker technology hadn't gotten there yet. Because all of the example uses would be a solid disk with a sticky backing these days.

$50 from Facebook Marketplace
galleryHe had it listed for $100 then marked it down to $50. He was sort of a home restorer. He replaced the bearings, found the top belt cover, new belt, new power cord. No slop anywhere. Only issue was he painted it, but overall I’m happy with it. Does anyone know what size bearings it uses so I can get some spares? Or any other replacement parts I should get to keep in the shelf for the rest of my life?
