2023: I'm going to guess that it's an updraft carburetor from a dual-
fuel tractor that is started using gasoline and then switched to
cheaper tractor fuel/distillate when the engine is warmed up.
2025: The tank from a kerosene wick stove. A modern example is here:

2026: Pigeon racing clock.

2028: Magnetic sweeper for picking up foreign objects from an
airfield.

2023 downdraft carburettors
2023. updraft carburator, similar to ones used on ~1920 Harleys and
Indians, or "L" head motors.
2024. looks similar to a "skivving" knife, used to cut repair plugs on
the inside of tires.
2025. depends on which way this was used - could be a water bottle for
small pets (like mice), or an oil bottle
2026. from a French clockworks maker "Brevete". Good example of a
Geneva mechanism https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Geneva_mech=
anism
. Once an hour, once, or twice a day, the brass disk on top indexes
to the next position. No idea what it soed (sampling device?)
2027. edger, for trimming grass along sidewalk
2028. a guess would be is that it's a magnetic "sweeper" to pick up
FOD.

2029, is "d'uh" angle finder of some kind. But for what use?
2030, I'm not familiar with that device. The pictures aren't much
help.
2031, Looks like a hand held gadget for heating something over a
flame.
2032, Not much comes to mind.
2033, probably for luring and then killing rattle snakes.
2034, I suspect is a siren. Compressed air is blown into the center
tube, and the center vanes spin. I've seen similar vanes and outside
openings on old fire truck sirens.

Lawn edger is correct.

2023 - Schebler updraft mixers for old engines.
Both look like versions of an R model
2024 -
2025 - Vacuum jar?
2026 -
2027 - Step on edger. Missing the handle. Have also used mine to cut sod
for replacement.
2028 - Massey Harris I244 tractor. Owned by Tom Wilcox. This is one of
the VERY few of these that still have the electromagnet still under it
and working. Did you ask him to demonstrate it? It's original job was to
"sweep" the runways, taxiways and other places to pick up any stray
parts or pieces of steel that may be laying around waiting to damage an
aircraft.

There was a demonstration of this machine where I saw it in Portland,
Indiana, they made a trail of metal pieces on the ground and the magnet did
a great job of picking them up.
I'm still not sure about the second item this week but the rest of them have
all been answered correctly:

I've had a number of items submitted recently, if I can find the time I'll
post another weekend edition tomorrow.

Posting late because I spent the last three days replacing the
radius arm bushings on our car -- finished at about 9:30 PM.
2023) Either some kind of steam whistle, or perhaps a device to spray
water in case of a fire. It is interesting to have it mounted
mostly under a wood shelf -- either the steam or the water would
not do it much good. :-)
2024) No size given -- other than by the size of the handle.
At a guess, this is for cuting out melon balls from some flavor
of melon.
2025) A reservoir for something -- today I would suggest a cat water
fountain, but given its age -- perhaps for watering poultry.
When you invert the jug, the spring-loaded pin in the cap keeps
water from flowing out until the pin comes in contact with the
bottom of the watering tray. Then water will flow out, and
bubbles will flow in until the water level rises to a hole in
the cap and this prevents air entry and thus water exit until
the water level falls again.
2026) Hmm ... a clock driven system for accepting metal tokens and
making them accessible at a later time -- perhaps a way of
verifying that a watchman did his rounds. I suspect that each
token moves to another clock at certain times in his rounds.
2027) Missing a wooden handle of indeterminate length.
Looks as though you step through the arch while holding onto the
wooden handle and score ice for breaking up and storage.
2028) Looks as though it has a bush hog on the underside -- a set of
chain flails to cut through heavy underbrush.
2029) -- not until next week I guess --
Now to post this and then see what others have posted.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Hmm ... I can only see it as being useful for ferrous metals,
not for aluminum, titanium, brass or bronze.
And given that airframes are often made of aluminum or titanium
(for weight reasons), with ferrous metals only used where needed,
explicitly engine cylinders and blocks, shafts to propellers, and likely
some parts of the landing gear. One may presume that the metals to be
picked up are results from crashes -- though the results of a bomb
detonation is likely too -- and that is most likely ferrous.
Enjoy,
DoN.
