    What have I got here (WHIGH)?

    Picked up a crate marked STANLEY and found a bunch of stuff in it including a uncarved fiddle back and a stanley 72 marking gauge with sticky thumbscrews.

    What are the paddle shaped items and the other items in pics?

    Thanks

    Mark,

    The paddle shaped items look like patterns for casting lever caps to me.

    The first photo looks like a tool used by a draftsman to sharpen the lead in a mechanical pencil.

    The third item looks like it might score a line arround a dowl, or perhaps a chair spindle so the hollow augar won't leave torn fibers at the shoulder of the turning. The first thing I thought of was its similarity to a modern plastic plumbing cutter.

    The cutting tool looks like an unusually robust can opener.

    I found a name on the "can opener"
    Snell & Atherton.

    The tool is called an edge knife. Possibly used to work leather.

    That thing is scarey lookin'

    The wedge-shaped pieces could be paddles used to spread lead or bondo in auto body-work.
