Got at an auction with a bunch of sandblasting equipment. Has a lever and plunger on one side and some type of check valve in the other. Fitting could be either pneumatic or hydraulic. Hose looks to be hydraulic. Thought it might be an old style remote Deadman switch for sandblaster.

What is this round white plastic with a hole on one side? Roughly an inch in diameter. A few have a homemade hole punched through but most just have a manufactured hole just on one side.

Cast hoist, support, jig? Vintage. No name or patent number. The six square holes extend through the body. The 5 evenly spaced holes along the rim are approx 1/2" diameter and unthreaded. A screw is found in the bottom of the middle hole. The two holes on the hook side are unthreaded as well.

Woven basket-like objects, narrower at one end, but both ends are open. Various sizes, but appear to be range 4-5 feet high.
