Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I avoid the dreaded garlic too so I joined Maz in the Mercedes and we made our escape!
Seeing Maz's photo of the box holding the cheese slices brought back a memory. It reminds me of the old days before personal computers when I used to keep alphabetically ordered reference cards in a plastic box. The box was never as attractive as Maz's example though! Another memory from that box - do any of you remember an American company called, I think, Gateway Computers. The PCs were sold in boxes with the same cow pattern black & white. It was because the boss of the company had been a Mid-West farmer.
Gloria, is it for fitting crown caps on bottles?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Tizzy...I loved the way your hair waved in the breeze and my scarf blew out behind me as we "floored" the Merc!
I can only say, that the box keeps my cheese slices in perfect condition. For a cheap product, it does the job perfectly ( hence its 15 years in the fridge)
Are we talking "floppy discs" here? Hubby had so many floppy discs when we first met. All given the boot long ago.

Gloria, is it a sprayer for cleaning glasses?
I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK... they know me here.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Cathy, which photo are you looking at?
Gloria, is it for pushing a charge into an artillery shell case?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Home brewed beer crown corker. The throat gap looks small so probably for dumpy bottles of high alcohol content.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Still all wrong.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
For stamping coins or tokens?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I reckon the throat is about 4 to 5" and the travel of the "push rod" is about 3 to 3½" so whatever was placed on the bed wouldn't be pierced completely. Unless there is a piece missing?
It's for punching holes in sticks of gelignite to insert the detonator and fuse.

Going to have to give it to you both, this is the modern equivalent.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Fascinating. I missed all that but might have got somewhere near as it hasn't enough room in the throat for the more obvious uses like corking wine bottles.
A very good object Gloria.
