672. Cowboy line rider tool, it was kept on the saddle horn and along with the hammer, it has a pick and wire twisting tool for fence mending. It reads "Atomic, Glaskin Mfg, Pat Pending".







673. Fire truck control panel. Though commonly known as a fire truck, this vehicle is actually a quint, the names refers to the five functions it provides: pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device, and ground ladders.

674. Meat tenderizer








675. Home made mouse trap, said to be "surprisingly sensitive".
