We had two requests for help identifying/dating items:

One of our readers needs help determining what this tool might have been used
for.  He sent in these pictures, and says it has Turner Machine Tool Peabody
Mass on it, and it's approximately 6 1/2" long.  The round part is
approximately 2 1/2" in diameter. Any ideas?

One of our readers purchased a set of four of these snack sets and wonders if
anyone would know what year they were produced. She said they are
"11x7....just purchased a set of four and love them.  Used last night for
ladies game night and filled cups with shrimp cocktail and plates with
crackers." Any ideas as to the time period on these?

If you can help either of these readers, feel free to post on Facebook, or
send an email to newsletter@tias.com.
