1849 bouppteckning word

[Norm Pono Sandin]

This word is in an 1849 bouppteckning from Ärtemark (P).  I have searched dictionaries, Google.se, museums, Sweden list - all to no avail.  I've tried other spellings, including exchanging the B for P, but I can't find a clue.  It is the middle word of this image - Bämplar - and there are 6 of them.  Can you help me?

Thank you very much!
Aloha, Pono

Se ordet bängel i SAOB.  Något att göra med boktryckeri.

A bängel is a handle used as a lever in tightening the big screw(s) in a hand press (e.g. in a press used in printing or book binding).  Does this fit with the context? And six of them, moreover! (Is it just coincidence that the three visible lines start with numbers in sequence, as if the items were numbered?)

[Norm Pono Sandin]

Thanks to both of you for your responses.  I needed the definition since all I could get was rascal
 
The quantities just happened to be in numeric order.  There is nothing else in this inventory that would suggest printing or bookbinding.  If you'd like, you can look at the context online.

Bämplar is on page 2 and there is a link to the image.  I have possible solutions to the other question marks in this draft webpage, but I would welcome any suggestions you might have.

Just looked through your fascinating document and at the wonderful spellings and I have a couple of comments.
 
On page two you translate mortare as mortar. I think it more likely that it is a Swedish mortel to be translated as pestle.  
Spilkum is a small bowl and gräddsnipa should be a  cream jug.
 
On page three siktar should  be sieves and the 36 tefat should be saucers.
 
As to Bämplar, I have no suggestion except that the beginning of the word seems to be Bränn---

Maybe it was a local term, that isn't in the dictionaries? You could post to the relevant parish thread (is it Ärtemark?) and ask the researchers there to take a look at your question (refer them to this thread to avoid duplicate discussions). Perhaps one of them will recognize the word from some other bouppteckning.  
 
BTW, I think the 4 Boller on page 2 may be drinking bowls.

Thanks for more responses - I appreciate your time.  I will look carefully at all your comments.
I have found the subject word bämplar in two more bp's from Ärtemark.  If no one can decipher it from these three examples, I will go to Ärtemark and post as suggested.

Bämpel can come from German, where it is warning bell for tram. So, could mean small bells...

[Anna-Carin Betzén]

Are there wooden bells? It's listed among the wooden objects...

[Heikki Särkkä]

Oh yes,  there are. A hollowed-out piece of plank with a tongue gives a high-pitched sound when shaken.

Enligt Syd- och västsvenska dialektord, http://dal2.isof.se/dialekt/dialekt.aspx, var bämpel ett slags rymdmått.  
Enligt Norsk ordbok är det bland annat en liten träflaska, http://www.edd.uio.no/perl/search/search.cgi?appid=8&tabid=436
 
Norska låg nog närmare till hands för Ärtemarks-borna, än tyska...

Lotta -  
I couldn't read much of the handwritten text on the Nord ordbok link you provided, but a small wooden flask or bottle seems to fit well as the translation of Bämpel.  Based on the quantities in the bp, I suppose Bämpel is plural.  Can you tell me the singular form?
 
Thank you so much for your help and expertise!
Aloha, Pono

[Lotta Nordin]

Bämpel/bempel is singular, and bämplar/bemplar are plural.
