478 Looks like, in addition to the compass and mirror, it can be used
as a sextant and altimeter.

479 Falconer's hood?

480 I agree.

481 Bowling pin, from above.

482 Whistle or kazoo?

483 I agree.

All have been correctly identified this week, I thought that there was going
to be one unanswered for this set until Rich G. came through in the clutch
on number 482:




478. Surveyor's compass

479. Hood for a falcon

480. Hay cradle or cradle scythe

481. Mapledge bowling pin

482. Shaving cream dispenser

483. Ice pike or Ice hook

A few more photos and links can be found on the answer page:

According to R.H. <[email protected]>:

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again.

478) Surveyor's compass. Originally carried by explorers from the
UK, IIRC.

It has an ability built in to measure height (angle measurement
and level) as well as to act as a compass.

I have an import copy of this, but yours looks like an original.

479) Hmm ... a very old infant's shoe?

480) Sythe with cradle to catch the wheat (or other grain) as it is cut.

481) Hmm ... no clue as to the size other than the texture of the
carpet beneath it. Maple leaf logo. Could it perhaps be a
curling stone? Or perhaps a hockey puck? Is that center part
concave or convex?

482) Not really sure. Perhaps a water whistle, with the projection
at the top being the mouthpiece?

483) Perhaps another of those precursors to a Peavy which were
discussed previously? Something used in logging, at least?

Now to see what others have guessed.

Enjoy,
DoN.

All of my cow-orkers looked over my cubicle walls to see what
I'd done when I read the answer to this one. "Oh! Yeah! Of
Course!!!! <cubicle gophers pop up> Oops - never mind." ;-)

I was going to guess "trackball", but the stria make it
clear that that's not it. :-)

Cheers!
