The Urban Archeologist: Guess This Gadget (This one Rules!)

The best part about hittin' the sales, are the strange or odd discoveries that an old drawer, or in this case, an old workbench reveals.

I was invited to preview an estate/moving sale as it was being set up for the  weekend, which I wrote about in an earlier Patch article here. I was given free reign to explore the home and settled in my second favorite digging place - the basement.

Instead of digging I found myself organizing items as well; this actually made digging easier than just picking or turning items over and to the side.

Though the workbench wasn't really that old, it was piled high, and when I finally got to the bottom, there were my mystery items.

Take a look and see if you can shed any more light on either item. Neither have a makers mark, but the "four fold" one footer has a "No.92" on it. Leave your thoughts in the comments.
