Peck, Stow & Wilcox nippers

Here's a pair of end nippers from PS&W. The company was known for their sheetmetal equipment and imaginatively blended their names into Pexto in the 1920s. Previous post here.

               

Pietenpol Air Camper.

 Between the wars, home builders were looking for an affordable engine to build an aircraft around. It was generally thought that a car engine would be too heavy and underpowered but Bernie Pietenpol tested the Ford Model A in 1928 and built this parasol type two seater around it. The engine was mounted backwards, that is the propeller replaced the flywheel on the end of the crankshaft.  The radiator was mounted up in the airflow, right in the pilots view. The forty or so horsepower was enough to move two people through the air at about 60 mph. The company is still around today.

Wrench sculpure

This one is better than most, I think...

 

Lost in the 80s....

 

77 Pontiac Ventura. Lost in the 80s. 

Fat white letter tires, G60-14!  Last of the bias belted tires!

 Easter egg colour paint,

 Colourful graphics, neon pink underglow,

 everything works (mostly).

 All that's missing is your mullet and the disco tapes.

Ford V8, exploded

 Technical illustrators don't get to sign their work. 

Above, flathead Ford V8 ('49-'53, I believe) complete block assembly, (no moving parts). 

Below, the moving parts.

Gilbert and Parker Portable Gas Pump

I don't think the idea caught on...

 

Sidecar Sunday

 

Racing funnel

 I'd call that a megaphone, doesn't a "funnel" imply flow in the other direction?

Old Riverside Multitool

Multitool or maybe an implement wrench, hard to tell with tools this old. Tool has a large size wrench of about 2 inches, small square wrench with a light hammer and pick. The other side text looks like S.C.C. & T, which doesn't produce much in a Google search.
