I think it was more to keep the little one's inside instead of keeping people out.

Would be nice if you at some point went back through these great relic's and tell us if we were right on the ones we guessed and inform us of the ones we don't know.

We still do, not in a can. Wife had to pay $$$$ when we put a free one in the trash.

Wish I still had my mom's.  Hers had a red handle.  Many a times pulling out my hand electric one is just too much trouble.

I think this is what was used to pull nails out of horse shoes???

 You pushed it in, it got hot, you pulled it out and lit up.

It's a small oil can to use on things like sewing machines and stuff around the house.

I still use the one my father gave me.  Around 30 years ago, the tab popped off, so I attached a safety pin to the tip.

And yes,, I have more modern tools with which to measure length, but this still comes in handy!

My grandfather had one. I don't remember how far you could measure but I know it was a long long way.

I kind of remember ball coaches using it to measure the ball field??
