Can anyone help ID these things?

[Baz]

I don't think they are rivets.

I have a half a small peanut can of them.

TIA!

[Zeke]

Yeah, it's a 1987 US Penny.

They look like parts to a air hammer. A really SMALL air hammer

The threaded spikey thing looks a lot like the optional spike feet that came with my Caldwell front rest

[herr_oberst]

floor speaker spikes?

[oldE]

Perhaps spikes for a tripod?
The threads would provide adjustment.
Just guessing.

A masonry anchor?

The thing on the bottom right is a 1987 penny.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you end up with half a small peanut can of stuff and you don't know what it is?

[stevej37]

anchors for tooth implants

Looks like some sort of anchor, like a manual version of this:



If you drove the pin into something, would the washer move on the shaft?

He found it on the side of the road .... just too good of a deal to pass up

They are galavanized, so probably meant to go outdoors. Maybe fence hardware, or fasteners for metal siding, like on a barn or something.

Either from my late stepfather's accumulation of fasteners or from a collection I purchased from a friend who was liquidating her late father's stuff. The second collection included a metal cabinet with drawers filled with all kinds of fasteners. I'm sorting through some of this stuff and always wondered what these things were.

No moveable washer - all one piece, but appreciate the help.

This is what I was first thinking - something to do with fencing because of the little wire loops. But it could be something else meant for outdoors. I just don't have a clue what though.....


Thanks for the laughs and guesses so far. I don't feel so bad now not knowing what these are.......

[rfuerst911sc]

Pretty sure they go in your nipples ............ go ahead and jamb the pointy ends in and let us know how you like the look The knarly S hooks are for your partner to hang onto .......... maybe you can use a fishing lure to spice things up

The pointy things look like some sort of turning center/transfer not sure

Sent the pic off to my oldest brother who is a machinist and metal fabricator.

He said some kind of drive anchor.

Said the little curly things were some kind of 90 degree clasp someone came up with.

I will update the thread as I discover more info.....

Don't know about the bent wire things, but both the threaded piece and pin with sharp points might be devices used to transfer hole locations from one work piece to another. I used something similar to line up thru holes for screws with their threaded counterparts on a removable panel for a cabinet. Screw or press the pin into a hole in one piece, then when you bring the two pieces together, a witness mark for a mating hole is left by the sharp point.

[varmint]

don't know what they're called. but my dremel tool came with a bunch of them.

IDT the links and the pins are related.

The hooks look like something from an old style overhead garage door spring. I've seen those someplace and I've been thinking about it since yesterday.

And the more I look at the pins the more I see a masonry drive anchor. The washer moves up as it is driven to depth. Probably powder actuated type tool.
