I wonder if I'd gone to our librarian at work (I work for a farm
newspaper in western Canada) she would have been able to ID it for

Seems that R.H. is getting deeper and deeper into his box full of

Thanks for _that_ helpful tip! :-))
Any hint for the "window" and how it corresponds to the compartments
when the box is closed?
Or, is there a gap between the compartments and the top, or does the top
(quite) seal the compartments when closed?

I don' know the size of it, and it seems to be too small for my guess,
but I give it a try:
Box for signaling (naval) flags?
Or is it at least naval use?

I was confused when I saw the dimensions--seemed too tall, but the input
on cardboard divders was the final clue...

Well, after a time the intended contents can become quite effective even
if not of quite the same range... :)

This box is not related to beekeeping, though it was used to carry or
transport something.

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again.
394) A sprinkler head. Water from the left-pointing jet
is deflected by a surface which partially intersects the stream,
kicking a weight around the head, which is returned by a spring
which rotates the head a little
This one seems a bit more complex than most that I have seen,
which suggests that it may be an irrigation sprinkler, instead
of a lawn sprinkler.
FWIW, I was told (when I was a kid) that it was invented by
someone who lived in the same small South-Texas town in which I
was living. The town is named Cotulla, and I fear that I don't
remember the name of the supposed inventor.
395) This looks like a device for applying powder/dust style
insecticides to plants. Bellows to the left, reservoir to the
right, with a right-pointing nozzle.
396) Perhaps for casting fat candles? (But I don't see things to
support the wicks in place.
Perhaps for starting plants in small lumps of dirt which can
then be transplanted, dirt and all, to a larger pot after the
dividers are removed?
397) Survival kit fishing setup? The hook loops through the slot to
the right, and the line is wound around the assembly? The point
and barb to the right might be for removing the hook from a
fish's mouth?
398) Could this be what is called a "seed drill". You stick the spike
on the end in the closed (second photo) position into the ground,
and then press the handles together, opening the hole a bit
while a seed falls down the tube from the box into the hole just
produced?
399) A real old soldering "iron" or "copper" It is heated in the
flame of an old fashioned blowtorch (white gas fired, I think),
and the mass of copper carries enough heat to serve the purpose
of heating the workpiece to a temperature which will allow the
solder to flow. This one has fairly recently been cleaned and
tinned, even.
Now to see what others have answered.
Enjoy,
DoN.

#394 is a rainbird (sprinkler head).
#395 is used by a bee-keeper to produce smoke.
#399 is an old-fashioned non-electric soldering iron.

My initial impression was that the case was for holding jars. Jars are
cylindrical, so I guess my first impression was wrong.
Are the objects held by the case roughly spherical? The dividers inside of
the case appear to be cloth with metal edges. Is this right? Does the
rectangular hole in the lid serve a purpose that is related to the objects
held by the case (e.g., it allows air to flow around the objects)? Is the
hole covered by a screen (I can't tell from the photo)?
Is the case used to dry or smoke something (e.g., drying apricots)?

You're right in that it's not for jars.

Yes, I guess you could say that they're roughly spherical.

It's cardboard with metal edges.

There isn't a screen over the hole, not sure if air flow is really necessary
for the contents, possibly it's just for quick reference to see if the box
is empty or not.
> Is the case used to dry or smoke something (e.g., drying apricots)?
The case isn't for drying or smoking.

He finds some really obscure items. Has to be great fun: Trying to
identify them certainly is.

From rec.ww
#394: Sprinkler head, rotating type in which the head is rotated by a wing
being moved by the water jet to cause a hammer to tap the head to rotate,
then spring moves the wing back into the water jet. (Poor wording, but you
get the idea)
#395: Honey bee keeper's smoker. Used to calm the bees while working the
hive
#396: Old ice chest for canned beverages?
#397: Not a clue
#398: Old pesticide duster. Looks like the bellows is missing
#399: Old soldering iron, one heats the iron in a flame, then uses it to

The box didn't age very well so I didn't include this photo on my site, at
the link is a picture of the top of the box when in the closed position:

The lid is very close to the top of the compartments when closed, and the
