? Another whats this?

I recently was going through some items I received with a bulk purchase when I bought a lathe and trying to figure what the following three items are and if worth keeping.
The first item appears to be some sort of handle/holder. It is threaded at both ends but only has an insert at one end so the other end is missing. It is marked Lufkin 4 in.

The second item is marked The Billings & Spence Co Hartford Conn. It is very heavy cast and some sort of holder. Not sure what it is but I was thinking of using it for a micrometer holder after placing some rubber between the openings. It has two thumb screws. One for adjusting angle and the other for clamping


The last item looks like a lathe dog but to light duty. Maybe a stop?

#1 looks like an extension for an inside micrometer.
#2 is a stand for holding a measuring device (scale, caliper, micrometer) while inspecting parts on a bench.
#3 might be used for holding a Bunsen-type burner. With the hex fastener, it isn't likely to be for holding test tubes, but uses the same principle.

Provincial sounds right. In any case never throw the stuff away; might come in handy later.

I think you are spot on. It makes sense to me I have no need at this time for items 1&3. But I had been thinking about purchasing a micrometer stand. With a little work I will be able to have a stand most likely better than anything made today. Thanks Provincial.

There is someone out there who has been looking for a Lufkin 4" inside mic extension for several years.
I was in that situation with a .5" extension.

If I knew who wanted it they could have it for the shipping.

Consider a post as a FTGH + shipping here at HM.
Possibly same on the other items.
