BTW I've ruled out #2 being an industrial strength orange juicer already.

The bottom one looks like it was used for patching tires, a long time ago. I think they called it, "Vulcanizing".

I think you are right. Google confirms it.

No1 is a Carburetor.. No 2 is a tire patch vulcanizer..

I remember patching bike tires in that manner in the late 70's early 80's. Usually worked pretty well.

Actually,it was called a "Hot Patch"...after you rubbed the glue on,you set a match to the patch...

Correct on both counts [;)]

#2 is a Vulcanizer. Or in other words used to patch tubes.

LaidbackDan

I doubt anyone mentioned one is a carburetor and two is a vulcanizer

KEVD18

so just to confirm, 1 is a vulcanizer and two is a carburetor?

Carborizer and Vulcanator.

Anybody can see it's a Carborizer and Vulcanator.[:D]

last one is a hot patch clamp...used one as a kid....the clamp sat on the rim of an oval shaped tin with a cardboard like chemical soaked insert that you lit with a match....this was all clamped over a glued patch on a tube..was primarily used on the old red natural rubber tubes ...regular glue patch would not stick
