Hello
I'm trying to translate the bouppteckning of an ancestor to English and I can't find several words in any dictionaries or online. Perhaps they are misspelled or in a regional dialect. Please help by telling me the modern Swedish word, the English translation, or the source where I can find help. I left enough in each image to not cut off characters.

I don't understand the last few characters after Bollster 2 and Kuddar 23.

In the first image:
1 förlägg???? och slev av.... Slev = ladle
the second image:
1 st bandqvarn???

First word is förläggar slef af Tenn which means a big ladle made of pewter, for serving soup for instance.
Second word is Hand qwarn mean a small thing, run manually to grind grain. Modern spelling is handkvarn, perhaps you can find a picture of one, if you try Google Picture Search.
The third word, I don't get the first part, but the second is skrubbel, which might be a carding implement, used in the process of making yarn from wool.
The bolster figures are the weight of each item, the first weighing 2 pund (pounds), the second weighing 23 marker, one mark being the same as a pound (425 grams).
And the last words looks like Nagelton, which I can't identify.
Aloha!

Nagelton = nageltång? (nail nipper)

Hello again!
What's the word under Nagelton?
It seems to start with Smed (smith).
Nagelton could be Nageltorn, a tool used to form the heads on nails, e.g. horseshoe nails.

Thank you Ann-Mari, Elisabeth and Stefan for your help!
3. kader skrubbel = card cleaner?
I suppose the first word is meant to be card.
5. nageltorn = nail head former?
In another bouppteckning I have nageltorn spelled with the r. This one is included with tinsmith equipment.
Mahalo nui loa,
Pono

Nageltorn is a blacksmith's tool, used when making nails. After cutting and forming the stem of the nail, you put it in the nageltorn and form the head. I don't know the englisn translation.
When you post questions of this nature, please tell us the age and, if relevant, the place, where the document was written. It may facilitate the interpretation.

Thanks Per!
I will be happy to add the parish to the queries. As you can see from the title, I did indicate that the bouppteckning was from 1822.
Are you related to Elisabeth?
Aloha,
Pono

Hi Pono, no, Per and my husband are not related, but our surname is fairly common.
