The most valuable item was that cone shaped scoop.   It is a Quick and Easy Ice Cream Scoop.  Could bring over $100.           The Henis Press that Inga brought is listed as a ricer on both Google and eBay.  That is not right.  it is just too fine.  So I searched the Digitized Newspapers and it is from 1905 and is a fruit press and came in two shapes.  Was in the 1909 papers as well.    The tie press is a tie press, not a beehive embedder.  Looks the same from a distance but not the same.   The corn cutter is called a kernel cutter.  Most have a handle on each side but this one was to twist around.  It is open so will adjust to the side of the cob.   The little long Japanese dish is a bone dish.   The glass coffee grinder was a coffee grinder.  They were just smart to hang in the barn for a feed grinder.    Think that was it.  Can't remember if we were stumped on any others.    Loita Hawkinson
