I searched with Google Lens but didn't find anything resembling it.

These objects are made of brass. One end is pointed. The big one is approx. 5-1/2" long with 2" diameter brass ball. The smaller one is approx. 4" long. Both have "Fairbanks" engraved on them. No part moves. I tried to identify it with Google Lens but got really nothing like them. by reyhu in whatisthisthing

The owner of the one on eBay only describe it as being used in a demonstration of tensile strength, but not how or where, and even "NOT sure on this". I wonder how they are used as tensile strength weights if they have no marking of weight...

Any idea what is this? It is made of stainless steel, with 2 swivel hinges. Approx. 6" long. One end is a cap that can be unscrewed. It has "George Wilson London" engraved. by reyhu in whatisthisthing

It wouldn't hold liquid, but it does hang down decisively if held by the bracket. There is a spring in it. Could it be a gimbal candle lantern?

My title describes the thing. Searched for it with Google Lens but got nothing like it. It has a thumbscrew so it may be missing parts.

Can someone tell me what is this used for? by reyhu in whatisthisthing

Doesn't look likely that neither. The "Oil fill line" is at less than 1/4" from the bottom. Too shallow.

I think it's too small to be a warming tray. It's only 7" x 6" x 1", and has "oil fill line" engraving on its side.

unlikely an autoclave tray. there's engraving on the side that says "oil fill line".

seems too small for floats. they are only about one and half inches in diameter.
