I've heard them called Suzis or Susies but I don't know why.

There is some reference on Google to being named SUSIE from SUSpended Insulated Electrical Connector. Perhaps that is why TTC adopted the name and registered SUSIE as a trade mark.

Nothing there Stanley, except a small red cross in a box and the word "image".

The image registers as 0 bytes with dimensions of 0 x 0. No wonder you can't see it Glo! Must have been trashed on the upload.

Not much of an idea, but, is it for levelling something, or, is it for mixing something ie hot/cold water???

Azimuth and Elevation controls from a field gun. Maybe the type Stanley used during his National Service.

Ian's right, the back end of a 17pdr Anti-tank gun at Gatow in Berlin. Barrel no 20327!
The current puzzle.... Looks very similar to a clamp I've seen for tightening webbing.

Made in 1926. I'm beginning to think you Barlickers have lead very sheltered lives.
This is a give away clue.

It's a wire stripping tool but no idea of the manufacturer. Lets stab at it being used by the post office telephone blokes or something>
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Good answer. Its a "Wanda" stripper. Made in Birmingham 1926. The cutting blade is a straight guillotine action which may have been good enough for stripping the old rubber insulation but not much use on modern material.

Are they crimpers? (things for squashing connectors onto wire?)
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 23 Aug 2013, 08:03
Combination wire cutter and stripper
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Ian, it has a wire cutter and stripper in it but Liz is right, it's the tool that came with this Rpault's connector kit.
Try this one...

Is that one puzzling you? Do you need a clue?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 25 Aug 2013, 07:53
I'm stumped. Is significant that the two pieces can be separated?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 25 Aug 2013, 17:56
It looks a bit like a scribing tool
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 26 Aug 2013, 02:12
It is Glo but not sure if that will help you. Think of locating something in a fixed position.....
