Out of our time period but perhaps of interest. Doing genealogy research and found the following in an 1842 estate list: "1 Rifle Gun & Shot pouch, butcher knife moler and arpus" I'm thinking the moler might be a mold but have no idea what "arpus" might be. Anyone have better ideas on either one?

Re: what are they?
Could be an abbreviation for "apparatus" (as in "other stuff" in the shot pouch)?

Re: what are they?
Is it a Jewish descent line? Could be tools used for ritual circumcision. in other words was he Mohel Rabbi or doctor?
