It's not sharp or pointy, nor is it a gun or explosive. Those are really
the things that fall into the category of banned items, thus one would be
hardpressed to have it rejected. Just about anything can be turned into a
weapon by someone sufficiently skilled.

I suspect that it was used with a plain web belt (which hooked
into the paired holes on the back), and things like bayonet scabbard and
canteen were slung from that half.
But also, the belt would go outside other garments for quick
access, so in cold weather, the belt would be adjusted significantly
larger.

Shouldn't this thread be called : "Re: What is it? IC" instead ?
571: I think everyone has been looking at the wrong end. Look at the other
end, it's a flat screwdriver. and it does look used, unlike the square end
that does look untouched. My guess is, it used to have a wooden handle that
fell apart. and the thing that look like teeth are meant to give a better
grip both rotationally and transversally between the wood and the metal. The
handle would be made of 2 parts held together with some kind of collars.

By that line of thinking, most people can be classified as "not likely to
hijack a plane".
And therefore one could argue that they should be able to carry anything in
an airplane, including sharp or dangerous objects.
But then, you could also argue that a hijacker can use someone else's object
to hijack the plane, but then, no planning is possible. Not even a hijacker
would start spending his money from flight to flight, in hope that some day
he will stumble on an object belonging to someone classified as safe, be
able to steal it, and use that object to hijack the plane.
But then, if other dangerous objects are allowed to be carried by safe
people, he doesn't know if someone else doesn't have a gun, that can be used
against him. Therefore I think it would be safer if anything was allowed to
be carried by people classified as safe.
Consequently, the safer they want airtravel to be, the more unsafe it
become.
Of course, the process of determining who is safe and who isn't will give
the ACLU a field day.

571 I think they call it a chaser, to clean four pitches of threads.
572 The open hole in #572 looks like it's made to cut, not
crimp. I think it's from the days when electricity was supplied
through solid conductors that depended on air spacing because
rubber insulation wasn't reliable. I think the jaw was designed to
strip and cut 8-gage wire, and the hole in the handle was an aid
for making Western Union splices. Hmmmm... what gage were
telegraph lines?
574 It's obviously to clamp a stack of LP records together so
they don't warp on the shelf. Why didn't *I* think of that!

570 may have had something to do with store mannequins. A store
manager wouldn't want all the same faces, and he would want a
change from time to time. The traveling artisan could show the
manager pictures of different dummy faces, then use the kit to mold
a face with the chosen eyes, nose, and mouth.

# 572 I had one of those back in the fifties when I was a little
kid. It was a wire cutter but I used it for cutting anything i could
get in the blades. It worked good for trimming the apple tree we had in
the back yard, but it was really ment for stripping and cutting wire.
It had a lot of leverage since the cutting hole was close to the pivot.

The caption says it's the unmarked one. Obviously the blasting
engineer who found them ground off the trademark in case Western
Union detectives came around asking questions about missing tools.
569 - bicycle or motor cycle wrench
Kool-Tool is more versatile
570 - I'm betting its a facial prosthetics
making kit from the WW I era.
Medicine had progressed enough that
soldiers survived horrible facial
disfiguring injuries by then. Guessing
that the parts registered to the skull
fitting into the third, missing part
of the mold, and wax or liquid latex
was poured into the mold.
That's assuming the parts shown are
out of some low melting point metal.
If they're out of aluminum (aluminium
for the Brits) or iron or steel, then
unvulcanized rubber could be placed
between the mold parts, heated and
pressed between them to form a
vulcanized rubber facial prosthetic
571 - probably an early tap (whole
threader) - most likely for
wood rather than metal
572 = wire stripper and cutter
573 - grass lawn aereator or dethatcher
564 - saw set - used to set the teeth on
a saw blade
565 - food grinder or iice crusher
circa 1970's
564 - cane handle
563 - M-1 rifle ammo clips bolders
568 - probably a leather shaving tool

I wouldn't count on it. My wife accidentally left my 9/16" wrench in
her backpack once, and they wouldn't let her take it on the plane;
apparently tools of that sort are prohibited too. ("Disassembly of the

The standard rule is that, when a low-value letter is placed before a
higher-value letter to indicate subtraction (such as IX indicating
10-1=9), the low-value letter can only be the next power-of-ten below
the higher-value letter. Thus, V and X can only be preceeded by I, L
and C can only be preceeded by X, and D and M can only be preceeded by
C. And so, to get 99, one writes the 90 as XC, and the 9 as IX. And
thus: XCIX.

In the photo, one end has a buckle and the other has a loop for a
web belt to pass through. I've found a picture of an M1 rifle belt.
On each side it had a section with five pouches. They were
connected by a length of plain web in back. I've read that the M1
cartridge was about 3", so at 17", the piece in the picture looks
right for the right side of an M1 belt.
I wonder. If each piece with pouches was 17" and there was a
length of web behind, the belt must have been several inches longer
than 34. Wasn't it too big for a lot of soldiers?

Dig a little bit of digging down in the attic and found I had the
W.W.II version for the M1 rifle which has two halves and a similar
flat webbing belt between for adjustment. A bit more digging found
a pic which shows that indeed #563 is only one half.
I've combined with #563 so a comparison can be made:

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual:
569) Looks like a wrench for on-the-road repairs to a bicycle.
I'm not sure what the large round hole is for -- perhaps
mounting it somewhere to the bike frame to make sure that it is
around when you need it.
It appears to be fiberglass filled plastic, so it would not be
strong enough to use on a motorcycle, and the largest size
wrench section is too small for real utility on a motorcycle,
let alone a car.
The choice of material may be to allow it to be carried on an
airplane in these days of fear of any metal tools. :-) it *does*
say "Travel wrench" on it, after all.
570) Hmm ... at a guess, it is used for making masks with the
ability to build a pattern from various features to fit on the
basic skull part.
Or -- perhaps they would be used by an undertaker in rebuilding
a damaged face for presentation prior to the burial?
571) It doesn't look right for a thread restoration file, and in
particular there is not the difference is pitch from one side to
another, so I'll have to say "I don't know" on this one. Not
even a reasonable guess.
572) Hmm ... Sargent is a maker of locks.
So -- I would guess that this one is intended for cutting
security cables to length in the notch closer to the hinge, and
for crimping ferrules over the cut cable to provide something to
lock to, and something which won't let the strands of the cable
fray.
573) I think that is a de-thatching tool -- for breaking up
accumulated lawn trimmings which have worked their way between
the grass stems.
574) This looks as though it is to grip something wound in a large
ID coil. Perhaps something like an electrician's snake (tape).
The blue pads are to grip the edges of the coil.
Normally, they are supplied in plastic or metal holders, but
there might be some times when being able to loosen it and
stretch the tape out full length might be handy.
575) ---------- nope, nothing more to guess about. ----------
Now to see what other guesses may say.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Doesn't an aerator generally have hollow teeth?

Five of them have been answered correctly, I'm still trying to find out what
the metal face parts are for exactly.
569. Impact Kerambit, self defense tool
570.
571. Tap, with matching die was used for cutting threads and nuts.
572. Blasting cap crimper
573. Lawn aerator
574. Tennis racquet press
More pictures and a few links have been posted on the answer page.

It's listed in the FBI's Guide to Concealable Weapons:
http://datacenter.ap.org/wdc/fbiweapons.pdf
but the one they show is the older version that isn't disguised as a wrench.
The original had just regular round holes where there are now hexes. Even
though it's on the list, I would bet you could get it past 99% of airport
security by casually saying it's a bicycle wrench.

Now that I look at it again, it's something I remember from my long-ago
youth. We lived in a mining town and my Dad worked summers in the mine
(he was a teacher the rest of the year). He carried one very much like
that. That job used to scare the crap out of me when I was kid; every
couple of years some miner would kill himself from a blasting cap
explosion. They had the habit of carrying them in their shirt pockets.
He was more careful than that, but I always used to worry that he
wouldn't come home one day.

I'm still going with 573 being an aerator, as a de-thatcher is designed to
vigorously rake the lawn to break up the thatch.
563 Can't definitely state M-1 ammo pouches, but somewhere in the thread
there was discussion about what they connected to, and that would definitely
be the standard military web-belt.

I've seen them both ways. I've seen commercial self-powered ones with the
hollow teeth, but the one shown here you throw a couple concrete blocks in
the weight box and tow it behind your riding mower or lawn tractor.

Looks like a cheap rotary hoe for a garden tractor. Same principle,
breaks up clods and aerates soil.

I use a web site that translates numbers into roman numerals and vise versa,
if you try to translate IC it says invalid input, so I guess for some reason
they don't use that for 99.

It does look like a screwdriver, but it's definitely a tap for making screw
holes.

There are plenty of the star wheel and spike types to be found on the web,
but I do remember golf courses using the hollow ones that leave big holes, I
always disliked paying to play on a course that had just been aerated.

Our masters have decreed that tools are allowed again. Anyway, the
"travel wrench" is plastic and thus can be brought through the metal
detector without examination.

I saw some guy on some talk show, who had just won an Emmy. He says,
"Here's this 20-pound chunk of metal, with sharp pointy things sticking
out the top, and they let you walk right on the airplane with it!" I
suppose they figure an actor isn't going to hijack a plane using his
Emmy award as a weapon. ;-)

I wanted to say a garden-sized harrow, for dried mud or clayey dirt.

573 is a lawn aerator.
565 is an ice crusher.

Different molds, same oven and stinky smell:) Thanks for the trip down

You _thought_ it was a wire cutter, but...
