The soldering (NOT soddering) iron is more likely a Plumber's tool from the days of lead or copper piping, when it was used to make a waterproof or pressure-resistant join !
0:33 is NOT a wine decanter. It was used to serve a lemon infused white wine (with either lemon peel or lemon balm or even lemon grass). Both the object and the drink were known as "cold duck" and popular in the 60s and 70s. The central glass container was indeed used to cool the wine with ice without diluting it.
It was definitely not used for Absinth, which was illegal in those days. I have one of these things myself, inherited from my grandparents, and I watched them use it with friends when I was a child.
The carbon arc rods used at the Manor Theater in Charlotte N.C. had a silver sheath. The beads of silver that resulted from use were collected and recycled.
That sounds pretty likely to me! I was thinking it looked somewhat similar to a tool my dad used to replace ball bearings in some sort of ring apparatus that I don't remember what it was used for. My dad was a good auto mechanic, and professionally was a microwave radio engineer so he had all kinds of interesting tools and components. I wish I had some things from his vast supply of mysterious objects and tools I remember from his garage and sheds when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. We had fun playing with things that I wish I'd known back then were valuable. My brother and I found a metal trunk full of "steampunkish" vintage headsets that we put on our heads and ran around pretending to be the crew of a starship (I adored Lt. Uhura on Star Trek, still do!). Being stupid kids, we ruined those things by playing with them. Later I found out they were the same headsets worn by American fighter pilots in WWII. These were unused military surplus my dad bought back in the 1950s. They were in original dated boxes with the crumbling but original paperwork! Excellent condition before two horrible little brats got ahold of them. AAAgghhh! At least I still have the antique WWI French carbine sniper rifle from dad's collection. It is decommissioned with no firing pin, but still a cool-looking gun.
Thanks! I was thinking that it looked like a watchmaking tool, but it was too big for that. I can totally see how it would be used on larger clocks, to pull off it's hands.
@@frankmitchell3594 I really hope you meant "bushings"... ;) I'm not a specialist, but I remember seeing something very similar and it was for removing hands or bearings; I can't remember.
Coulda sworn the “wine decanter” was an absinthe server something about dribbling the absinthe over a sugar cube resting on a slotted spoon that lays across a glass. I seem to also remember something about ice water turning the absinthe white. Last device appears to be for pulling pulleys off shafts or driving pins out of something. The two opposing hooks catch behind something while you twist the handle thus extending the pointed rod to push down against an axel or rod to drive it out
I thought it was too. I've seen one like that in use, actually, for absinthe. I think the person selling one on ebay didn't know either and assumed it was for wine. I mean, how many people today know what real absinthe is and how it was served? Beyond that, I've never seen a wine aerator that can only fit one glass at a time. That said, I haven't seen everything in the world, so it's possible.
@@QuivaRPG as soon as the other individual reminded me I could see the history channel booze history coverage of absinthe and that decanter full of ice water dribbling very slowly over the big slotted spoon and turning the emerald genie milk white. And your right except for that tv show I’ve never even seen a bottle in 55 years. Of Course I’ve never looked. Those decanters are all pre-ban, as I recall they had some weird wife tales about absinthe and it’s users, and banned it as a poison for many years
This solved a mystery from my childhood! We were starting to watch an old silent movie at the old Von Minden in Schulenburg TX. It has the distinction of being the only hotel in Texas with it's own movie theater. It's also reputed to be haunted, I don't believe in ghosts but a couple of photos I took in that theater when it was empty were very spooky when I got the film developed, but that's another story! When I was a kid, we were starting to watch an old film, when the celluloid caught fire and the film was completely destroyed. The projector was original to the theater built @ 1911. Must have been those carbon rods! All these years, I thought it was a incandescent light bulb that torched that film!
I think the last Item is gun related also looking at the Ebony handle possibly English in origin, it is used to push new primers into bullet or shotgun cartridges.
What happened to the pretty delph blue triangular ceramic piece? I was most curious to see that! I got 3 right this time, woohoo! I own one of those antique soldering irons, and used to have one of those wine decanters though I never used it. I recognised the hose winder because those are still used by some landscapers. I SHOULD have recognized the handle for a crosscut saw because I have one of those huge saws hanging over my front door as a decoration, with those exact handles! DUH! I love this channel. Most objects shown on these videos, I have no clue what they are. Some other channels are a waste of time because they mostly show objects that almost anyone over the age of 50 would recognize, often things I still use.
@@outlookdaily1713 If you look at an old blowtorch you might see a small ring on top with a segment cut out of it and on the flame nozzle end there is sometimes a small notch. The soldering iron rested in that ring with the iron's tip in the flame to heat it.

in the u.s. it's pronounced, "sodder."
@@davidkermes376 Unfortunately. That has connotations of Sodom in the British Isles
That "wine decanter" looks to have a central glass tube. That would make it a wine chiller. Center tube filled with ice, outer chamber holds the wine.
I love seeing these vintage things and either remembering some, or learning about others. The robot reader leave A LOT to be desired, however.
don't knock the narration!. i find it easy to understand!.
The last item is a chain breaker for separating roller chain like are used on bicycles, automotive or motorcycles and industrial drive mechanisms.
Thanks!
Thanks, I don’t have to wait for an answer.
Item at 1:20 is an analytical balance for precises weights in gravimetric analytical chemistry

Last item looks like some sort of gear puller, the arms would hold the edge of the gear, the pin pushes on the shaft
I may be wrong though

The absinthe is in the glass and you dribble iced water onto the sugar.
@@houstonceng yep that’s it. It looks like the ice water dribbler.

Thanks again LazyRanch. That may have caused the fire.
Celluloid is pretty much an explosive, if it's old and starting to decay a warm cup of tea could make it go PHOOOMMM!!!!!

I've used a soldering iron like that, you heat it with a torch and they work great for large soldering jobs.
Good to know!

Your robo narrator sometimes really messes up. Honignehmer is German for "honey taker," and is pronounced HOE-nig-NAY-mer.
