1. looks kinda like one of those grill adjustment thingys off a hibachi ... but not as thick.
  2. Strangely enough, martin is the warmest so far. Though still not too close.
  3. Is this object still manufactured? If so, is it available in any other materials?
  4. is it a tool to open and close vents on a cast iron stove?
  5. This object is still manufactured and used. I believe that aluminum versions exist as well as iron. A similar object exists in nylon, but it works differently.

    It is not.
  6. We have a Bissell carpet sweeper. It's in storage right now, but it has a tool that looks pretty much identical to that. It is used to clean the brushes of the carpet sweeper. Any similar use for this tool?
  7. is the item most often used near a flame of some sort?
  8. Looks like a footpeg for an old motorcycle.
  9. Is it what holds a murphy bed to the wall on the end opposite the hinge?
