Part 6/7:
A recurring theme is the heavy distortion and loss of metal integrity in these tools and components. The collector notes that several of the items seem "like part of it's missing or vaporized"—metal turned to dust or eroded away. This suggests advanced corrosion, degradation, or possibly experimental damage from heat or other external factors.
The images hint at extensive material breakdown, with some parts appearing to have been partially melted or turned into fine dust, raising questions about the history of these objects. Were they subjected to high temperatures, chemical reactions, or mechanical stress? The detailed observations point to a fascinating process of decay or transformation.
