Mystery Objects

Post by tentergate@aol.com »

I have recently been left a number of items by a picture framer who has passed on and wondered whether anyone could identify the items in the picture below? I fear that they might relate to other equipment that has already been disposed of and so they might be of little use on their own, but it would be a shame to bin them if they might be useful. Thanks in advance.

I'll start. Bottom left fits onto a bandsaw or table saw table, it's to adjust the crosscut angle. The thingamajig with the red line and I suspect the Mat Magic too are for measuring and marking out for wash lines. They all look far too interesting yo throw away!

I had an uncontrollable urge to put numbers against each item to make identification easier!
