"Conversations on the Art of Glass Blowing," 1836
- Pig Puller, circa 1915 - Many domesticated farm animals (such as hogs and sheep) give birth naturally without assistance. However, veterinarians may intervene if the mother is having difficulty or if the piglet (hog) or lamb (sheep) is in an incorrect position or stillborn. Veterinarians use an extractor or "puller" to loop a wire securely around the animal to help guide it through the birth canal.

- Hay Knife Blade, circa 1800 - Farm families cut and cured enough grass each summer to feed hay to their livestock all winter. Stored hay settled over time and farmers used special knives to cut out chunks for feed. The blacksmith who forged this wrought-iron blade created a long cutting edge. They also forged a collar and groove on the backside of the blade to set and hold the wooden handle in place.
