1. A cart for moving bombs around to load on planes during the second world war.

   • I was going to say torpedo, but I was stationed on a sub tender.

2. im guessing billet cart due to concave top, like a dolly for steel or aluminum tube or just round stock…set stock on there centered and push it where its gotta go

   sposin it would work for logs too

3. I want to say it is a Utility Pole cradle

   • has to be. or some sort of long pole. since it only has wheels in the center of the rig another rig is needed on the other of the pole for the balance of both rigs.

     • Bob, the description I got from Irish is that it had four wheels.

       • The other 2 wheels are casters, underneath, in the center fore & aft, but set such that only one will contact the floor at a time.

4. Rosie O’Donnells’ gyno sled. Eewwww.

   • Now ‘that’s’ funny…! Disgusting, but funny.

5. Obviously, it is a torpedo transportation dolly once used by the Royal Chuckalonian Navy*

   *Chuckalonia is a small and entirely landlocked country in my back yard that doesn’t really exist.

   • Do you have an Air Force too?

     • Yes. he has 100 drones.

       I don’t actually know that, chuckling, but it would not surprise me. 🙂

     • We HAD an Air Force, but a strong gust of wind smashed the kite into a tree during a close air support training maneuver back in 2013. It forced us to abandon plans to invade neighboring Joedonia.*

       * A small country in my brother’s back yard that doesn’t actually exist.

6. It looks like a barrel or drum dolly for use in a winery or warehouse.

7. Dolly to move whiskey barrels

8. Look like carrier for carpet or linoleum

9. I guess Sterling Rail, used by railroads.

10. Midget teeter totter? Kidding, looks like it belongs at a railway station but only 2 wheels means that whatever it carried could be balanced. I am going to say a carpet cart.

11. No idea.

12. We used something like this at a place I worked at many years ago to move logs around in a warehouse.

13. I’m guessing the drunk cart to bring the future Mrs Phil back from the bar on? What do I win? Bwahahaha

14. IT looks very similar to cloth trays for moving cloth off of looms in a cotton mill….like “cannons slave” factorys. I wz there in high school TILL me and the overseer fell out. That is where I told him to K.M.R.A…….MANY MOONS AGO!

15. It’s a beam cart used for moving a beam of yarn into position at the back of a loom for weaving.
