Hello from Hazard!
We didn’t receive anything on Item No. 1205, so we will reveal it is an atomizer used to turn liquids into vapors. It was often used for medical or pharmaceutical reasons (Patent No. 338,367 — 1886).
Randy Winland, of Prospect, Ohio, submitted it. Thanks, Randy!
Willis Brubaker, Wooster, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1206. The tool came in a file full of manuals after buying a house. He has no idea what it is or how it was meant to be used. The tool is about 10.5 inches long including a sturdy handle connected to a cable with two offset probes. It looks like something you could pull on fairly hard.
