That'd be a big old battery by my reckoning.

Yup, I'd agree. It's a bit of a battery. Nice lead plates and a positive terminal.

And a black NEG terminal at the bottom.
My first thought was that they are lead plates, but it may be a very early wet cell. Can't tell without examining the plates to see what the metal is. In that last picture it looks like there's wooden spacers between the plates, which is cute.

The last three look like floats from a fishing net.

Glass bottle - isn't that a childs bottle? There'd be a rubber nipple on one end. Maybe I'm wrong.
The last three shots - that's a bit of wood with a hole in it.
Edit - your 'torture' device is more than likely a bit of plumbing paraphernalia. Looks like a pipe bracket to me, not a snare or a trap.

I think you're quite correct. Apparently, some of them are quite collectible. http://www.etsy.com/listing/108395691/v ... ana-shaped_________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.
