2657 is a Steak brand. The non-shown sides have R & (probably) MR on them.
The show sides are for Well and Medium.

2653: The line wires of a mesh fence have ripples to keep them tight and
springy. This tool might be to tighten stretched ripples or make new
ones. The L-shaped tongue might help guide the line wire into the notch.

#2658 are varieties of Revolving Hay Rakes. Maybe mid 1800's.

It holds the valves from a V8 engine when overhauling it. My parents
had one from the '40's which had advertising for a garage on it.

This answer is correct.

I don't have an answer for this one yet, but the owner of it did say "The
tool has quite a strong odour similar to that of an automotive or machinery
workshop."

Hay rakes is correct.
Still not sure about the first one but the rest have been answered correctly
this week:

I was hoping to find a video of the hay rakes in action but didn't have any
luck, I'll have to see if I can get a demonstration at an antique machinery
show.

Are you sure about the spark plugs?
There appear the wrong shape and a little large at 1½"

They are for the old plugs that you can take apart to service. Most were
3/4 or 1" pipe thread.

I went to an antique machinery show a while ago, where I came across a large
display of a couple thousand vintage spark plugs and an on going spark plug
auction. There was a plastic container holding some porcelain parts, I
cropped this photo to post the one on my site:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/Album%2015/DSC02191.jpg
I guessed at the inch and a half size but as you can see there are number of
different sizes and shapes.
Been out of town for a few days. Posting from my desktop PC, as usual.
2653, no clue.
2654, salt shakers, or electrical insulators.
2655, no clue.
2666, alignment holes for setting up a machine.
2657, meat tenderizer?
2658, sock drying rack for outdoors

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2653) Strange looking beastie. I'm not sure how old it is, but
what it looks to be to me is a crimper for some kind of crimp
splice or terminal which is held in the clip in the bottom
An extra view of the moving part fully engaging the clip in the
bottom might give more clues. (Something like the last, but
with the lever fully compressed.)
2654) The look somewhat like tiny drinking mugs with brewery markings
on them.
But they *could* be insulators.
Or they could be strange chess pieces, given the variety of
shapes.
2655) This sort of looks like the works in a pepper grinder, but
obviously much larger.
Could it be for breaking and grinding stone? Or perhaps
something like clam shells -- to make lime?
2656) Hmm ... the printing looks designed to skip the areas of the
holes, which suggests that they are related, rather than the
holes were drilled into a yardstick for a different purpose.
And the text suggests automotive parts (piston rings).
Perhaps it is to store engine valves for an (up to) 8 cylinder
engine during stripdown and reassembly?
2657) The high contrast suggests that it is to print the letters
shown by transferring paint, rather that to burn the letters
into wood like a brand.
Are there two other letters on the two sides which we can't see?
It is interesting that the two shown are almost vertical mirror
images of each other -- other than the slope on the sides of the
'W' vs the vertical sides on the 'M'.
'W' might go with the other compass directions -- but 'M' does
not fit that at all, which is why seeing the other two sides
might be helpful.
2658) Part of a harvesting machine -- perhaps horse drawn?
Or perhaps a net drying and repair rack?
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
