All three of these items were bought together. The ends on the anchor looking end of the tool have some wear like they have struck something. The other end has a weird shaped blade on it though. I don't really want to scrub on it at all but my Dad tells me he thinks the circles have a gold inlay in them. It has brass bands going around it in two spots. The other "pick" looking item has some wear on the tip. I'd be willing to believe the story on it being a tamper.  But not 100% positive. The anchor shaped tool is really hard to place. Thanks for everything so far! This forum is great!

Anybody have an idea about the anchor shaped item? Thanks for the info on the powder flask! That's great!

The T shaped "tool" is almost like a dull blade on the bottom. It's also got golden colored bands and what appear to be skulls on it. I've thought about the black powder gun use for the pistol shaped tool. I'm really not certain that's what it is though.

look like charms, from a charm bracelet....any marks on them...

I guess that I should've posted the size. They pistol looking thing fits in the palm of my hand and you can pull the "trigger" with your fingers. The T shaped tool is the same size roughly. I can take more pictures when I get home. I can't find any markings on them.

My Dad bought these pieces in college during the 70's. He paid 25 cents for each of them. Nobody seems to know what they are. The one that is pistol shaped opens on the end. I'm not certain on the use, worth, name, era, or anything else. They look very old and crudely made. Anybody have an idea? Anything would be helpful!

Thanks! I appreciate it! Maybe someone else knows the manufacturer? It's a super neat lamp! I paid a considerable amount less for it than that! Score!

I bought this lamp at a flea market a while back in Washington state. The lady I bought it from had zero information on it. I haven't found any markings on it. I do not know anything about who made it or what year. I feel like its from the 60's. Every antique store I've been into I ask about it. I show them a picture and they can't seem to help me. I've tried google. I get nothing. It's quite unique! The glass bulb part is all one piece and the light bulb is inside that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
