SG,
The rest of the tools are patented or patent pending.
The Scottish Mathieson plane has an Australian 1935 Patent #24039/35.
The purlin prop marker is also an Australian patent, it is #155206.
The rest are US patents...except for the Preston.
Thanks for the penalty...having to think up another one
Regards,
Peter

the odd one out comp
Let's see if this one lasts more than a few minutes....
Some of these might need a little reading and research
Which one is the odd one out...and if it's OK with the judges...why is it the one?
Regards,
Peter

ok.. I have no idea what more than half of those tools are but my guess is this.
The brace bit looks like it is used for just starting holes (the name escapes me for now) so having a depth stop or bit gauge on it seems out of place to me because it is never going to get that far?
beautiful hammer top right.
Can I nominate this thread to be changed to endless photo's of Peters collection?
bottom left has me transfixed now.

My bet is that one of them is not a tool for wood working.

A stab in the dark here. The wooden rule/Vernier is the only measuring device. All the rest are used to open or remove something. (I still don't know what most of them are)

Not so hard after all...
Yes the adjustable countersink is the only woodworking tool in the picture. It is marked Otis A Smith Rockfall Conn. and is from the maker of the Fale's Patent Plane. Advert below from Roger Smith's first book on Patented American planes. I found it on the shell gimblet bit in draw a of this tool chest
The Baltic pine floor was rotten, but the bit and countersink were still set up exactly for re-drilling recycled T&G baltic floor boards and fitting them into the base of the chest with slot headed screws.
Now I'm happy to pass the baton along to the next competitor, and the judges can decide who it will be...NCArcher or slow6 who combined to get it right or Wongdai who knew...but was perhaps hesitant to put up the next picture
For those interested,
The rest of the tools from front left to right are...
Cutter for removing a ring from a finger, Shoe pincers.
Mathieson Iron Mongers rule, book binders dog leg agate burnisher.
Mouth blown spirit soldering torch, chenier cutter - used buy a jeweller or watchmaker. "chenier" is the tube used to make hinges on watch cases or components of jewellery and this jig holds it so you can cut it square and to length. THE COUNTERSINK .
Two handled burnisher used by an organ maker to curl the brass reed of the organ pipe whilst it's held in a jig.
Clamp for a lever on a flintlock rifle.
Holding jig for a pocket watch movement, spanner to remove the barrel of a pistol to load the powder and ball. Boot strap handles,
Poising tool for holding watch and clock wheels to spin them true and balance them (there are jewel bearings in the tips to accommodate the wheel axle or pivots). Dental tool for removing teeth ( the little clamp at the end is missing) and finally piano tuner's hammer.
Regards,
Peter

I don't think my offhand remark can be counted as a correct guess. Not that I have enough hand tools to make up a 'odd one out' collection.
I need to do some shopping.

Same here - mine was only a guess and I didn't pick which tool.
