Could not open attachments, no separation between attachments. what was open is a flour mill. put our grain in the hopper and a bowl to catch the flour resulting. Clean it up and use it...

The gizmo with two offset crank handles an wood + steel frame is a mortising machine, for cutting the waste from a timber frame mortise (recess). Auger bit chucked in, machine holds the bit square to the beam, drill out the waste and finish up with a chisel.
Electric drills put and end to them, but the squareness of the boring now subject to user error. That one looks a bit past it, as do the planes...

Second look, the right-hand plane appears to be a Norris style and could be worth something even if the wood is shot.

Timber Framing drill is actually in pretty good condition. A little oil on the gears & some linseed oil on the wood and its good to go. Wood is good, just dried out a little.

Square plane on the left, the wood is splitting and the wedge is missing.
Round bottom guy on the right is in pretty good condition. Linseed oil for the wood and it could be used if someone wanted to.

Picture 1 is a hand cranked grinder over 75 years old.
Picture 2 is an old lathe that is still usable and has a few lathe chisels. Its actually in pretty good condition. How old????
Picture 3 is an old milk can. Still good, but of little use other than a decoration.
Picture 4 is some kind of a pipe stand (for sprinklers ??). Weird brass "T" is part of the original set up Both cast by "Hawks".

Picture two looks like some I have seen on ebay, not sure how old,
picture 4 is it upside down and used in a forge as the fire pot? The tee's would let air in from your blower?

Good guess, but the bottom of the "T" is solid. No water or air could get through.

For some reason in this thread I'm having picture trouble. It's only this thread.
Trying some more stuff & repeats of those that didn't work last time.

Here is the Big Pipe wrench.

Dated 1944 Canteen cup. Hope to find the canteen to match. As a kid we did have some complete with cover.

Kerosene Lamps, can & filler. Until moving into Tombstone in about 1946 / 47 we used lamps like these & a regular lamp. I have an old plain Jane lamp in the house that is not pictured. Grandma had 2 real fancy ones with pewter bottoms on them.
The Silver colored 1 was made in the USA by 'Deitz". Little green one says Made in Japan. No marks on the red on, but sort of think it is Japan as well.
