שְׁלֹשָׁה דְבָרִים רַבִּי צָדוֹק מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין. מַסְמֵר הַשֻּׁלְחָנִי, וְאָרוֹן שֶׁל גָּרוֹסוֹת, וּמַסְמֵר שֶׁל אֶבֶן שָׁעוֹת, רַבִּי צָדוֹק מְטַמֵּא וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין:
Bartenura
מסמר השולחני. שהשולחני תולה בו כף המאזנים. ורבותינו פירשו, מסמר קבועה בעמוד שלפני השולחני להעמיד בו תריסי החנות. ומטהרין רבנן משום דתשמישו עם הקרקע:
אבן השעות. אבן שיש בה קוים ורשומים עליהם שמות השעות ותחוב בה מסמר ובו מכוונים את השעות. וקורין לו בלע״ז אירליי״ו, ובערבי אלבלאט״ה:
וארון של גרוסות. העושים גריסים של פול בריחיים שלהם, יש להן כמין ארון של עץ:
ר׳ צדוק מטמא. אותו ארון, דתורת כלי עליו:
וחכמים מטהרין. דכלי עץ העשוי לנחת הוא ואינו עשוי לטלטל. ורבי צדוק סבר, פעמים מתקנים אותו לטלטלו. ואין הלכה כרבי צדוק:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Eduyos Perek 3 Mishnah 9
עדיות פרק ג׳ משנה ט׳
Four things Rabban Gamaliel pronounces susceptible to impurity, and the Sages pronounce them not susceptible to impurity.The covering of a metal basket, if it belongs to householders; And the hanger of a strigil; And metals vessels which are still unshaped; And a plate that is divided into two [equal] parts. And the Sages agree with Rabban Gamaliel in the case of a plate that was divided into two parts, one large and one small, that the large one is susceptible to impurity and the small one is not susceptible to impurity.
אַרְבָּעָה דְבָרִים רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל מְטַמֵּא, וַחֲכָמִים מְטַהֲרִין. כִּסּוּי טֶנִי שֶׁל מַתָּכוֹת שֶׁל בַּעֲלֵי בָתִּים, וּתְלוֹי הַמַּגְרֵדוֹת, וְגָלְמֵי כְלֵי מַתָּכוֹת, וְטַבְלָא שֶׁנֶּחְלְקָה לִשְׁנָיִם. וּמוֹדִים חֲכָמִים לְרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל בְּטַבְלָא שֶׁנֶּחְלְקָה לִשְׁנַיִם, אֶחָד גָּדוֹל וְאֶחָד קָטָן, הַגָּדוֹל טָמֵא וְהַקָּטָן טָהוֹר:
Bartenura
טני – a metal utensil that householders place in it broken wares/trash and broken metal utensils. And Rabban Gamaliel defiles the cover/lid for he holds that the lid is considered and utensil, since the lid also has a receptacle. But the Sages [declare it] pure, as they hold that since it was not made other than to cover it, it is not considered a utensil.
ותלוי המגרדות – nails that hangs on them the strigils in the bath houses and when everyone enters there, each person takes a strigil and combs/scrapes his feet and his body.
וגולמי כלי מתכות – that is needed to rub/polish, comb and knock together with a mallet or something lacking a rim or a handle, they do not become defiled according to the words of the Sages until their work has been completed.
טבלא שנחלקה לשנים – an earthenware plate that has vertical rims/edges and it is made as two equivalent pieces where one of them is not larger than its fellow, and in this Rabban Gamaliel and the Sages dispute. But the Halakha is according to the Sages.
טני. כלי של מתכת שבעלי בתים משימים בו גרוטאות ושברי כלי מתכות. ורבן גמליאל מטמא הכיסוי, דסבר הוא נמי חשוב כלי, משום דכיסוי נמי יש לו בית קיבול. וחכמים מטהרין, דסברי כיון דלא נעשה אלא לכסות אינו חשוב כלי:
ותלוי המגרדות. מסמרים שתולים בהם המגרדות בבתי מרחצאות, והנכנסים שם כל אחד לוקח מגרדת ומגרד בה רגליו וגופו:
וגולמי כלי מתכות. שצריכים לשוף לגרד להקיש בקורנס, או שמחוסר אוגן או אוזן, אינן טמאים לדברי חכמים עד שתגמר מלאכתן:
טבלא שנחלקה לשנים. טבלא של חרס שיש בה לבזבזין, ונעשית שתי חתיכות שוות שאין אחת מהן גדולה מחברתה, בהא פליגי רבן גמליאל וחכמים. והלכה כחכמים:

מסמר השולחני – the money-changer hangs on it the scale of the balance. But our Rabbis explained that it was a fixed nail/pin set in the stand that is in front of the money-changer to put up the shutters of the shop. And the Rabbis make them pure because its use is with the ground.
