Hello from Hazard!
We said Item No. 1165 was a water table for a wash bowl. Richard Bader, of Middletown, New York got a little more specific and thinks it is a fish cleaning table used to clean fish scraps. The scraps go down the hole to a high bucket to catch them. He said the hole in the bottom is to hold the scrap bucket in place.
The item was emailed to us by Gail Kray, of Bay Village, Ohio.
Still nothing on Item No. 1166. It was sent in by Bader who found it in his barn. He said it has been there since 1954. The roller goes left to right. It is 3 1/2 feet high, 6 feet long and 35 inches wide.
It may be a mystery. Let us know, if you know what it is.
Bader also submitted Item No. 1167. There are no markings except on the front arm hook: 4 casting. The handle is 15 inches long and 4 inches wide.
Do you know what it is or how it was used? Email us at editorial@farmanddairy.com; or by mail to: Hazard a Guess, c/o Farm and Dairy, P.O. Box 38, Salem, OH 44460.
We could also use some mystery items. If you have any mystery items, send them our way.
