might manage a chunk that size with these. Here's something similar:
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Metal-Iron-Ice-Coal-Tongs-VC-/151031091787?pt=Folk_Art&hash=item232a27924b>
That seems to be a common design, similar to the mystery item but for
the handles. The chain handle would make it easy to carry for a
distance, but the scissors handles would make it easy to grab ice with
one hand.

Rob,
on that second tool (2852)...
That smacks a great deal of those cheezy import tools you could buy at
Monkey Wards in the 1970s. Half of them never did what you want, and all
of them were poorly-painted, Cadmium-plated junk... just like that one.
That looks for all the world like the spindle is spring-loaded in the
downward position, and it's raised by squeezing the fixed handle and the
lifting handle together.
If that's the case, I'm betting it's some variety of tile drill or glass
drill.

looking at (2852), my guess is that it is a tool for for installing the
woodworker's version of Tee-nuts (not to be confused with the
metalworkr's version, which fits into a T-slot). This is an
internally-threaded cylinder with a flange at one end which has three
spikes cut partially off and folded down parallel to the cylinder. They
are intended to fit in holes in wood and be drawn (or driven) so the
flange is flat on the wood, and the spikes are driven in to hold it in
place. A machine screw comes in from the other side to secure something
to the wood.
This tool would have the threaded shank fed through the hole (it
looks like the nuts are threaded on an outer sleeve -- but the "larger"
links still don't work for me). Anyway -- the threaded shaft goes
through the wood, the Tee-nut is threaded onto the shaft, and then the
handle is operated to pull the Tee-nut into the wood and then the crank
is turned to unscrew the threaded shaft from the Tee-nut.
Because of the lack of a working "larger" link for me, I can't
be sure -- but the tip of the threaded rod looks like it may be designed
to drill through the wood on its own -- just by crank pressure.
Could you *please* find a photo posting site which does not
limit you to only Internet Explorer -- or perhaps one or two other
Windows based programs -- or does not require you to create an account
and log in to view the images? (I'm not sure which of the two is
limiting me, but I refuse to create an account to test that, and I don't
run Windows.
Thanks,

Like you, I refuse to use IE.
For me works fine on an Intel based computer running Ubuntu or Mint
supporting Firefox or Opera. Never had any problems accessing site or
pictures. Large image also OK, EXCEPT that where there is more than one
image for an item, ONLY the last image in the series enlarges.

2856 At first glance, I thought this looked like a gear-puller, and a
nice one with adjustable length of pull. But, then, I noticed the puny
little thumbscrew. All the gear-pullers I'd ever seen have some
provision to provide substantial pulling force or torque. For example,
a big knob, a hex-head for a wrench, or a rod through the head. The
thumbscrew is not chewed up, as it would be if an open-end wrench were
used on it. I thought this must be something other than a simple
gear-puller.

It definately is a puller, but given its not adjustable..its probably
a piece made for a given object to be removed. What that object
is...is open to question. It is 7" long..so the opening in the center
is probably 2.5". Given the thumbscrew..its not meant for something
commonly rusted or jammed on.

a system running Sun's Solaris OS -- and the CPU would not support
Windows anyway -- it doesn't run on an UltraSPARC CPU. :-)
Opera no longer supports Solaris -- so I can't run anything
newer than 10.11 (*way* out of date by now). And, since unlike Firefox,
it is not open source, so there is no chance of someone else making it
work there.
With FireFox, I am running 19.0.2. But I am also using
"noscript" with it, which may be turning off something which it needs to
work. (But turning things back on does not make it work.)
Maybe the site just needs an Intel CPU to work. :-(

for a while. I had added a second Creator-3D framebuffer and turned on
Xinerama (allows spreading of a virtual screen over multiple physical
screens), and it was crashing Opera before it ever displayed anything on
the screen, and was crashing some pages in FireFox (even the latest)
when they needed JavaScript and Flash (and Flash also no longer supplies
updates for Solaris. :-(
But I replaced the two Creator-3D frambuffers with an XVR-1200
dual one, and I now have things working as desired -- and Oprea no
longer commits suicide on invocation, so I can go back to trying that.

"identifying as Opera" -- no masking needed. So they have fixed part of
the problems -- but they still have something which does not like
UltraSPARC based FireFox for whatever reason. I wonder what would
happen with an X86 based Solaris? O.K. The 5.0 version of Firefox on
that system just hangs with a blank screen. That system can't even ping
the img.photobucket.com site, though traceroute does get (slowly) out
past my own domain's machines into the ISP's world. And no problem
accessing:
http://www.gnu.org
so it is not the net access itself which is the problem, though a lot of
my machines are intentionally blocked from reaching the outside. :-)
It does not now matter, since Opera does work for me, but the
version of Opera which I have is 10.11.

It might be a pulley puller -- or a fan blade puller -- both of
which normally need lower forces. The thumbscrew looks like about
1-4/20, so it is for fairly small hub devices scaling up from that.

At the time I thought it might have been something that Opera was
correcting via their browser.js file. But I just looked through their
latest version of browser.js and there is no mention of either blogspot
or photobucket in it. My other best guess is that they fixed something
at either blogspot or photobucket and it took a bit to get flushed out
of my disk cache.

interface (optimized for people who like to fondle their screens, I
think) on us. It didn't work in Opera 11, but more or less works in
O12. Unfortunately, Photobucket also changes the settings to add random
text to the URLs of the photos when you upload them. You can change
that back manually, but I find it intensely irritating that they changed
the setting without asking me.

Thanks for the tip that Photobucket was definitely messing around
with their code at the time.

Rob I think item 2855 was made/used to find the exact same point on two
sides of an object. I'm sure I've seen one elsewhere, just can't place
it. It wold definitely be carpenter type accuracy, not machinist.

That rings a bell. We had something like that 4-5 years back...I can't remember the details, but some sort of carpenter tool for finding a stud location or something. The scissor grips on this are far too fine for an ice tong, and the tips look too precise and fragile.

2858 is obviously a sonde, but I'm not sure what use it would have had in coal mining. The small threaded insert is to normalize the internal pressure before deployment, the larger threaded caps are to put sensory devices inside, and the tape is so it could be found afterwards. They are often deployed from aircraft, or under the water. The lack of a leash mount point makes me think it was for using in air. The only use I could imagine in a mine would be to set it a distance from a blasting zone to measure the pressure wave. But if you google 'sonde' you'll see lots of commercial ones that are extremely similar, although this one seems pretty homemade to me.

The closest tool that I could find to the one on my site is this pair of ice tongs:
http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-ice-tongs-134341186
I got this further description from the owner: "...the holes don't go through both sides of the handle and one side is threaded."
I'm still not sure about this one so I changed my answer to read "most likely either some type of calipers or tongs for carrying a block of ice."
