Larding pin
To pull small strips of bacon through lean roast, you can use a larding
needle or a larding pin. The latter has a long (approx. 30-40 cm) and
narrow semi-cylindrical shaped blade with a sharp point, fixed in a wooden
or plastic handle. A strip of bacon or some chilled fat is placed in the
tray after the larding pin has been cut right through the meat. When you
pull back the larding pin, it is turned over and the fat is left in the
meat. The larding pin used on large cuts of meat would have a spring and
lever to cut the strips and hold them in place (1). The trussing needle and
larding pin are kept in a typical set of 2 needles and 12-15 awls of
different sizes (2). [MOT] (1) "Nouveau Larousse ménager": 693. (2)

Laundry beater
In the past, the actual washing was done after the laundry was cooked. The
lye and the already dissolved dirt, as well as the last stains had to be
removed with soap. This was done by hand alone, on a washboard or with a
laundry beater (approx. 30 by 10 cm). The latter is a wooden chip-shaped
beater - to be distinguished from the cork driver and the iron beater -
with which the laundry was tapped, which was placed on a stone or shelf.
