What are these items?

[kazmcc]

Can anyone tell me what these items are, a friend asked me and I have no clue! I think the first one may be a wax press, but I'm probably wrong lol

The second one I'd like to know what the thing on a pole is. They are from a museum.

Hi the item on the pole looks lik an extractor the pin goes to the floor and you spin the frame around the pole thus extracting honey from frame .
dont know wot the other item is will watch to see in due coarse.

I know the one on a pole, it's an early victorian extraction thing. You put a frame in, where the chicken wire is. It's then put point down (by the 12) on the floor and spun by hand. It's a bit like a very basic tangential extractor.

I think there was one in use on the "Victorian Farm" TV series a few years back.

If you Google Glevum Economy you'll get "incubator". For eggs not bees...The other one, is it not on the label at the side? If not it's Sod's Law: the thing you're interested in is almost never labelled....

It probably was labelled but he only sent me these pictures that someone else had taken. He's interested in beekeeping, so asks me loads of stuff. At which point I come here lol.

Thanks everyone.

The item on the left is indeed a Glevum incubator. Most started as parafin The (large thing on the side) but were later converted to electricity. Very popular during victorian times on hatching pheasants.

Bloody hell! Well spotted! I was trying to make out what part of the poster said and never even saw that! lol. I can see something, but not what it says.

Yup - my grandfather used one in the 60's to incubate hen's eggs - no leccy in his place then!

Can anyone see /read a label under item 11? Cant figure out what that is although I too saw the spinner on V or E Farm and have seen a few of the incubators.

Can't see one under 11, but under 12 at the front? See post 7.
