Contest!






















Today's post is a contest:  can you identify any or all of these things and guess what they might be used for?  Clue:  they're all old and no longer used for their original purposes.  Second clue:  they're drawn more or less in the same scale, about 75% of actual size, except for #161, which is about 95% of actual size.

Simply number your answers in your comment to correspond to the numbers in the post, i.e. #159 is a ___________.  I'll post the answers tomorrow.  There isn't any actual prize, but imagine how good you will feel when you realize you've correctly identified them all!  (Or how satisfying it will be to learn what they are if they've stumped you.).  And of course there will the be the glory of having your name announced if you're a winner!
