Let’s play a game, shall we

Gotta be Zim .......... if the poles are in the middle of the street!
Heckuva good guess! But no..... I'm laughing because there is a backstory about a power pole in middle of the road not far from his location :)
Hint- this is approximately 11000 miles from Buenos Aires Argentina.
 
Give this one a shot.

Tough one! Old….. hmmmm. Looks like an oiler of some sort but yikes? Rrrah… burner on an oil drip stove? Orrrahhh… flobernator valve on an 19 aught eight sod bustin tractor? :):)

Okey, boys, for start I have two mistery objects.
Photo 1 & 2, from both sides, object 1
Photo 3 & 4 closed in casing, and open, with caing closed from bottom, object 2.
What are those?
Hint: Both are usable. Both are made of brass.

Last hint. No it is not a wiring diagram of Brandon's brain. Its global antipode is a small town in North Central Brazil. Two pics combined should give away location of power pole.

Obviously both for marine use. These are also tough ones!

Two finger torture cuffs or a ship captain's watch fob :)
The larger cased item - wind up chronograph with built-in attached lens for viewing small increments of comparative measurement.... who knows :)

You are close. Very warm.

Not chronograph, but indeed for ship captain. Very good guess, and commendable attention to detail although not correct.
I will let other members to have a chance, then will clarify. (y)
 
Most any direction will be in ballpark :)
Ha! That's what my GPS told me once when I got lost in the fog while elk hunting. It was showing the exact opposite direction back to camp. Thank God for my quarter sized Chinese made compass I had in my emergency kit. LOL
 
I didn't think they had electricity there? LOL
:) They have electricity in most of the non-rural areas but believe me service is hit or miss much of the time. Typhoons occasionally wreak havoc in the northern 2/3 of the country. Major random, cluster earthquakes take a heavy toll on the infrastructure on a regular basis. While driving around, it's common to see a length of extension cord or scrap romex stretched across the highway with a bamboo pole holding up the wire on each side... usually a residence built right up to the shoulder on one side and a small sari sari store on the other. Gotta do what you gotta do.

Okey guys.
i will be teasing a bit.
First, item 1

Item 1 is buckle for belt, made for me by Filipino fitter (mecahnic) on a vessel.
It symbolizes modern ship. It is comprised of: propeller and engine piston (which makes ship to propel itself) steering wheel (which enables navigation), and anchor (which always symbolizes safety). On the back side is pin, to lock inside belt holes. Visible on second photo

Item 2.
Not chronograph, not barometer. Do we have some other suggestions? ;)

The second item is a pocket sextant.
 
Sextant! Interesting. I thought of that possibility because of the partial arc circle on the edge. But couldn’t figure out the square keyed wind up function? …

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
