534 is a jig for cleaning chimneys. Rags were wrapped in the wires, the
whole thing was dropped down a chimney and retrieved
535 is well identified as a battery post cleaner.
536 looks like a closeup of the back of a bicycle mirror, the
adjustable kind.
537 is mesmerizing...it looks vaguely familiar. Something to do with a
gas lamp?

Hi,
533 Just a quess, but it looks like a number
fasteners of some kind (maybe odd staples or
glaser points) are loaded into the vertical tube.
The tool is pushed forward to seat the fastener.
From the second picture it seems that the left
piece slides on the main body and handle assembly.
The third picture shows a thin metal piece solidly
attached to the handle that would drive the
fastener into whatever.
534 This looks a bit like a naval weapon from
the days of sailing. One would fire this into the
opposing ships rigging and then pull the rigging
down or bring the opposing ship up to you for
boarding.
Fun as always,
Roger haar

They've all been answered correctly this week:
533. Glazier's point pusher, thanks to all who helped solve this one
534. Crab net anchor, the wires are flat/blunt on the ends, so I don't
think it's a squid jig
535. Battery terminal cleaner
536. Pay phone coin release lever
537. Gas light lighter
538. B & D valve grinder
A couple more photos can be seen on the answer page:

I think you are on the right track. But I guess it is for inserting glazing
points that hold glass panes in a wooden window pane before glazing. I know
you have done that by hand.

534. Appears to be a weight for fishing. The prongs fold out to dig into
the sand to prevent movement in the surf.
535. Automotive Battery terminal cleaner.
538. B&D drill or riveting tool.

533: Whatchmacallit
534: Squid jig - modern ones are plastic, about 6" long, with 2-4 rows
of metal spines around it, all facing towards the eye. When the squid
are running, shine a bright light into the water. The squid congregate
in the light and you lower and retreive the jig, with the squids being
impaled in the spines. http://www.squidjig.com/
535: Battery post cleaner
536: Maybe a fuel pump, but I'm going to guess some kind of reflector
or light
537: Candle lighter - used one very similar in church as a youth.
538: A tool from Black and Decker back when they built quality stuff

537 a candle lighter. Inside would be a waxed candle wick. It is pushed
out of the opening at the end of the curved piece by means of a small
protrusion farther on down near the handle on the body.

I think the main difference is that most candle lighters have a snuffer next
to the wick, whereas this one has the oval piece that is used to turn the
gas off and on. Also, this tool is slightly broken, there is a small piece
that slides up and down the length of the shaft, but it looks like it used
to be attached to something up near the end, I'm guessing it was used for
feeding out more of the wick.

I wanted to say that looked very similar to something I used as an
acolyte in my mother's church, but couldn't see the necessary slot for
the feed handle, or the feed handle itself.

Also, what's that eye-looking opening where an acolyte's snuffer would be?
(I was one, too. ;-) )
