This explains why we only have the drawings, and not a picture of the
real thing.

No real clue...would seem would have to be for some specialty crop or a
low-volume product. The size and the small door would preclude anything
of much size or volume simply from the practicality of dealing w/ the
volumes of product farms generally produce...
Wouldn't think it would have anything to do w/ tobacco, but I'll throw
that out as a WAG for lack of anything else that comes to mind...

2273 -- alternate form of a Davy safety lamp -- possibly for mills to
prevent dust explosions rather than for use in mines -- The screen
acts as a flame arrester; air (and any firedamp/ dust present) can
pass through the mesh freely enough to support combustion, but the
holes are too fine to allow a flame to propagate through them and
ignite any firedamp outside the mesh

2269 looks like a hand-held signal light for sending morse code between
ships. If there's no visible emission it would have the infrared filter
in place.
2270 might be a cesium-beam atomic clock, probably being loaded as part
of the Hafele-Keating experiment.

3 looks like a high tech version of the old road side smudge pot lamps.
Might acutallu be airport equipment.

2271 looks like a simplified version of this:
http://direct.asda.com/Pyramid-Log-Burner/001662577,default,pd.html
2272 looks like a geiger counter
2270 is an IBM computer (you can see the logo on top); the first hard
disk drive computer, in fact. It's a 305 RAMAC HDD
http://thegreatgeekmanual.com/blog/this-day-in-geek-history-october-29-2009
2269 is a portable signal light, similar to this one

2269 I think is a 1960s or 70s era police radar gun.
2270 Magnetic drum computer (c. 1960)
2272 Geiger counter?
2273 looks like it could be used as a fumigator -- bottom part appears to have
a fuel reservoir and a wick.

Nope. It's not a piece of machinery, it would have been used in the home.

Yes, the points are punched and folded out from sheet metal, this would have
been used on a farm.

I sent an email to the owner of this device asking where they live and what
the grandfather did for a living, but haven't heard back yet.
The answers for the rest of them have been posted and can be seen here:

Nope, not for silage nor tobacco as dpb guessed, you can check out the
answers that I posted last night or you keep guessing if you like.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2269) Three possibilities come to mind for this one:
1) Hand held police speed radar.
2) Hand held parabolic distance (surveillance) microphone
3) Part of a light signaling device -- perhaps used
between ships in a military engagement. The trigger
switch to send blips of light, and the sight on the top
to make sure that it is aimed at the receiving end,
because (by design) it has a very narrow beam angle.
2270) Prefab (and pre-loaded) kitchen for serving food and coffee
during a flight. A lot quicker to load and unload than to
refill it in place on the plane -- the kitchen is cleaned and
refilled at the terminal, and ready to swap in when the plane
touches down.
2271) I don't know -- but I *really* don't want to sit on it. :-)
It might be some form of incinerator if those points are punched
and folded out from the sheet metal instead of being riveted in
place -- that would give ventilation -- but why leave those
points threatening everyone near it?
2272) A radiation survey Geiger counter. Not the ones which were
packed in the Civil Defense bomb shelters (those were painted a
bright yellow), but also not one for checking ore and such,
since it does not have a hand held probe (Geiger-Müller tube).
(That second letter in the part after the hyphen should be a 'u'
with an umlaut above it.)
Does that meter scale say mR/hr (milli-Röentgens per hour?)
(And the second letter after the hyphen in this should be an 'o'
with an umlaut above it.) All just in case the special
characters don't show up properly on your newsreader.
I've got one of each type, FWIW, but not one which looks exactly
like this one.
2273) Is this perhaps a "smudge pot" -- a dirty-burning flame to
coat an orchard with soot as part of a protection against
freezing.
2274) Now that is a strange beastie. :-)
Sort of looks like a minimum strength driveshaft which sort of
runs loose between two things -- with nubs which could perhaps
be used to make it act as a pair of universal joints without the
parallel spikes.
Now to post and then check what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Where do they live? A place which has orchards? If so, that
increases the chance that it was a smudge pot as I just suggested in
what I posted.
I've never seen one, but this looks like something which would
do the job.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Hmm ... some form of bobbin for a weaving machine or a sewing
machine perhaps?
Enjoy,
