Hello from Hazard!
Ben Strohmeyer, of Carrollton, Ohio, and Dennis Graham confirmed Item No. 1149 is a butter worker. Dennis says he was picking up product at Raytec Manufacturing in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, last Tuesday and there was one in the lobby — larger and with four legs.
David White and Philip Grimm, both of Malvern, Ohio, say the item looks to be a sifter tray.
Jeff and Becky Wuthrick, of Alliance, Ohio, submitted the item.
Charlie Wilson, of North Canton, Ohio, sent us Item No. 1150. The item has a KD Tool part number. It’s about 3 1/2 inches across, has four legs, each with a different end.

My first day looking at “hazard a guess. Thanks for web site. No. 1150 seems to be a points adjustment and alignment tool. No. 1156 is a bicycle spoke wrench. I question the crab no.1155 because squeezing the handles open the jaws when a crab should be grabbing leather. I can’t see the end of jaws well enough to understand function. I do agree that it is a cobbler or at least leather working. Thanks
