Saw this add "Reloading Things - UNKOWN Parts - Do you know HOW they are used? Part of a scale and powder measurer and what are the other things for? Do you know - Can you use? Must buy ALL"
Curious, I recognize the powder measure and possibly the base of a scale but the rest????????????
Top with red is a shot/powder charge bar.
Left is the bottom of a powder measure, without hopper tube.
Next with the helical may possibly be automotive or industrial. Makes me thing of a starter drive. Transmission part possibly???
Lower right is a Redding scale base.
The last piece is totally foreign to my eyes.
Thanks for the fun challenge, I always like these.
The last thing reminds me of tools used in connection with drive chains ( splitting motorcycle chains)?Originally Posted by Grmps

Chain breaker.
I agree, mixture of reloading and automotive/motorcycle parts/tools.
The shaft in the center of the picture has fine splines on one end and a helical cut gear (maybe even worm drive) on the other end.
Not sure what the application would be but I'm pretty sure it isn't firearm related.

The splined shaft looks like kick start shaft for a motorcycle.
Herter's Model 45 powder measure, scale frame possibly early Redding or Herter's. Motorcycle chain repair tool. shaft from??? engine???
MEC adjustable powder bar.
Yep, I'd say somebody's leftover reloading and motorcycle odds and ends got thrown into a box of miscellaneous parts to confuse the unwary.

/\ Yep, I'll buy that. The end with the fine splines has a grove in the center of the splined section that could accommodate a bolt on the kick start lever. The helical cuts on the other end could be some type of Bendix drive to engage the shaft to the engine.
So, how much were they asking for this treasure trove of ammunition reloading tools?
Nailed it !
I kept looking at it and thinking ...I have one of those...but can't remember what it is. Been a long time since I replaced a chain ...My last bike was a Kawasaki Mach III , triple cylinder two stroke , a beast that had more horsepower than the car I drove. It ate chains.

Kwaka 3? You're showing your age!They were scary bikes indeed (I had a Suzuki Cobra at that time, 500cc twin 2-stroke, that was a handful for me).
bingo
I remember the triple 2-stokes ! They (literally) smoked Honda CB750's !
They were deceptively quick.
$20 but they were an hour away so I didn't figure is worth my effort see if the powder measure was gonna work
I would not pay $20.00 for that. I think you made a good call.
Yea, but what if you needed a kick starter shaft for your 1972 Kawasaki ?
I don't and never will. The only thing I have with a chain is a saw and garage door operators, I have several operating powder measures and do not load shot shells. That's 20 bucks that can go towards good booze.Yea, but what if you needed a kick starter shaft for your 1972 Kawasaki ?
I had one of those H1 kawasakis. 13.2 quarter mile @99mph. I ride a little more sedate bike now, a BMW R 1100 rs.
Great bike, I had the 850R , same basic engine with a shorter stroke crank.
