Egg candler and scale. Eggs are sold by weight per dozen, so the scale is 12 times the actual weight.

Egg scale

That's an instrument of torture.

its a egg scale and inspection light

Egg scale.

It's for measuring the length of a porn stars "unit". The tube thing on the right rotates and the "actor" inserts his unit. Then the claw thing err, gently grabs hold and stretches the appendage leftwards, and the length is read of the scale bar. The metal box is to collect any blood that may be drawn by the claw.

I think that this is a scale for gunpowder in sticks of dynamite/TNT.

Wow that was fast , I had the same thought, Good Job Edward. A family of farmers was good for something.

Very small witches. The witch is compared against a very small duck which paddles in the water held in the cylindrical object to the right.

A medieval version of Mousetrap, originally produced by the Papal Office for the Defense of the Faith.

You put a little heretic on the pointed end, then keep adding counterweights until he catapults into the flames on the right. The scale measures his time in purgatory.

It was very popular in Spain.

At the risk of ending up with egg on my face, I'm going to take a "shot in the dark" and go with: a blacksmith's scale that was used to weigh hollow cannonball grenade projectiles. This tiny, rare ammunition was used in the Revolutionary War. They had to be between 16 and 40 ounces to be used (?)

It's the Veruca Salt game produced as a tie-in with the 1971 "Willy Wonka" movie.

Players take turns moving around a board towards the goal of winning Wonka's factory. Opponents can land on a challenge space and make you place your "egg" on the scale. If the meter says you're a bad egg, your piece gets launched into the incinerator and you lose the game.

I saw this one Antiques Road Show.

It's a cocktail holder/ashtray, specially designed for Frank Sinatra.

You place your cocktail glass in the holder in the middle. As the weight of the glass drops, the needle moves to the left, signaling a waitress or flunkie it's time for a refill -- chop chop, baby!

The ashtray on the right is designed so it can be rotated to dump the ashes.

One-of-a-kind. Valued at $12,000, at auction it sold for $23,750.

bottle scale, neck of bottle goes into plunger tube where it is tipped over and filled to proper weight

something used by a cobbler to make shoes

going for broke here.

This here is a gun powder scale, and bullet press.

obviously when you're using a bullet, you don't want it to explode in your face instead of your enemies, so having just enough gun powder but not too much is really important.

Hence the use of a scale and press.

Any fool can see that this is an instrument of torture.

It must be a methane measurement device. A person would kneel near the lamp and pass gas. The resulting explosion would move the scale and measure how potent the gas was.

Science isn't always pretty folks.

It is an alcohol mixer with a built in shotglass holder that measures the volume of alcohol in the glass.

I agree with buzz its a "member" ometer "member" as in schlong it even compensates for the curve

This is a US Navy Strawberry De-seeder. Someone convinced the navy that eating strawberry seeds led to homosexual urges, so every ship and boat's galley in the US Navy has one of these. Unfortuately, no instructions were included and no one knows haw it's supposed to work. Despite the theory of straw-berry seed-homosexuality being debunked twenty minutes ofter it was uttered, the navy still has a contract to buy 300 of these every year, to the tune of $6,500 each.

The russians conversly use a copy of it to add seeds to their strawberrys.

This was designed and built by the writers of 'South Park' and MIT scientists for ending quarrels about daily fecal mass totals by accurately measuring and reporting in Courics.

The added cylinder on the side is a slide gauge to estimate dry girth and peanut content.

Grain moisture tester.

Edward got it right off.

Good work Ed. My Nana (Italian Granny) had on almost identical.

Tim - And where's the fun in that?

This is clearly an awesome indicator. You stick your finger in the hole and the scale measures how awesome you are.

it's fleshlight's new design. The thing on the right is where you have your fun and there is a removable cup at the bottom that can can be used with the scale to measure the ejaculate for those who are interested. best of all it is disguised as antique from the 1700's so you can keep it out as decoration!

Unkown to most of you fairy dust is made from fairies. For the proper amount weigh the fairy and place it in the grinder.Fairies are brittle so it only takes a few turns. 3/4 fairy dust, 1/4 vermouth, lemon zest = 3 wishes.

Ping pong impact meter.

Antique proton pack (predecessor to ghostbuster apparatus). After attracting the phantasm into the hole, the ghost is trapped in a white tube. The armature is attracted to the concentrated protons at the base of the tube, forcing the scale down to show how much proton energy is remaining. (It is unloaded, which is why the scale reads 0.)

It's used to measure ground coffee beans. Or tea leaves. As an added bonus, you can make your coffee/tea with this scale thing, by putting water and your measured beans/leaves in the circular thing on the right, and then sticking a candle of something under it.

Right?

Also, Wordpress 2.8.5 is available! Alex, now would be a great time to update.

Looks like a steampunked fleshlight.

It's for developing photographs

In the shakespearean era, many people wished to correctly measure their eggs while they "watched" a show, so at the end, they can save the best eggs for the worst actor.
As an added bonus, the king never figured it out. Kept him busy.

Egg candler and scale.

It's a early model of the Bailey "Far-Tometer" used to measure the weight and speed of gasses.
