"Found this while Cleaning out my Grandad’s Garage, Some sort of Mechanism with Moving Metal Parts inside a (Plastic?) Glass Frame has a 3 or 5 (Depends how you look at it) Point Stand that looks like its meant to hold something is my guess. Have never seen it before in my life."

#13 Its schrimshaw. Sailors would carve scenes onto teeth,bones,baleen,etc. It may or may not be authentic. There's tons of fake schrimshaw out there.

Good eye. I couldn't tell what the engraving was. Most scrimshaw I've seen has been done on ivory, bone or horns that were used to hold blackpowder. It is really some beautiful work.

#19 Since Acrylic Glass was only popular after second World War, I think it must have taken longer to reach ordinary users. So I guess possibly this was original in glass and later changed to acrylic.

#3 I believe they have it backwards. The hot air from the home is drawn up the chimney (heat rises) which draws cooler air from ground level, especially at night.
