It's probably a farm implement and it looks like it should have
something to do with grain or animal feed.
What does it look like under the spiral cone?

2335 is a contact printer for large format sheet film. The red light is a
safelight. Mine is a but different, but the same principle.

2336. Looks like a fairly normal long handled weeding fork so you can weed
deep borders without having to stand in them.
2339. Maybe for separating corn and chaff.
2340. Looks like it's designed to let something in but not back out. Laid on
its side it could therefore be an animal trap.

2335 - Photo contact printer. I used something like that
when I was a boy. The film is put on the glass, and photo
paper (emulsion toward the film) on the negative.
2336 - Pitchfork, or ice chipping device. Lawn edger /
aerator?
2337 - Device for punching holes in a paper sack, to allow
the user to spread fertilizer.
2338 - bench for trying on shoes.
2339 - If the botom metal thing spins, it could be a salt
spreader for walkways?
2340 - compsting container? Part of a grape press for making
wine?

Looks like this is correct, thanks to everyone who answered it.

I didn't take any photos of it directly, I noticed it in my photo since it
was next to the fish trap, so I don't have any other views of it. There's a
tag on it that might give the answer but I didn't pay much attention to it
since I was focused on the trap.

According to the owner they are ice chippers, though they do look sort of
like shingle tools.
No luck yet identifying number 2339 but the rest of the answers can be seen

2338: I agree with Rob. In 3000 BC, the Iceman knew the purpose of a
pack frame was to rest weight on the lower back. His pack frame had two
wood slats for that. If this is a pack frame, it's much more primitive
than the Iceman's.

I hardly glanced at it when I took the photo, I was taking pictures of the
fish trap and saw this device in one of my photos when I got home. So I
don't know what is under the spiral, hopefully I'll see it again some day.
If he didn't sell it, he might have it for sale again next year at the
tractor show.

I'm guessing that 2339 is used for winnowing grain (separate wheat from
chaff). <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnowing>

I'd diving in a bit early for me on this one.
Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2335) This one I am *sure* about, and would once like to have owned
one.
A contact printer for large negatives. (I'm not sure
whether this one will handle 5x7" negatives, but at least 4x5"
ones. Looks like 4x5", based on the scale which is actually
calibrated in half-inches to allow a centered size. It can
also be used for smaller negatives, though contacts for 35mm
negatives are rather unsatisfying. :-) 2-1/4x3-1/2" is
reasonable. the 2-1/4x1-7/8" ones which came from one of my
early cameras were marginal as contact prints.
You place the negative on the glass, emulsion side up.
You adjust the vanes to crop it to the part of the image you
want.
You place the photographic paper (which is insensitive to red
light over the negative.) (Actually, later Pollycontrast papers
were a bit sensitive to the red light, but this predates the
Pollycontrast papers by quite a bit.)
You close the lid, and count off the seconds (Ideally, you would
have it plugged into a darkroom timer, which would allow you to
switch it full on for the setup, turn it off, and then to run a
timed exposure with the white light to expose the photo paper.)
Then you open it, take the paper, and put it in the series of
processing chemicals, wash it, and dry it (usually emulsion down
on a ferrotype plate to give a glossy finish).
2336) No devils around? :-) (But the wood handle would not last too
long in that environment. :-)
At a guess -- for unclogging sewer drains and the like, or for
breaking up compacting manure.
2337) Looks like it could be used to grip a surface on something like
a bale of hay, to slide it around.
2338) Perhaps for sliding a sawn out block of ice on the pond to get
it to an insulated storage shed until the summer when it is
wanted.
2339) If it were on wheels, I would think that it was for sowing
seeds. They would pour out of the funnel, get a spin from the
cone and vanes in the lower part, and form a fairly wide fan of
seed onto the ground.
However, in the stationary position, perhaps it is part of a
setup to separate wheat and chaff. The heavier wheat would go
out to a ring container, and the chaff might fall straight down.
Seeing the underside of the lower part could help to tell.
2340) Perhaps for composting leaves? The fingers at the top would
keep the leaves from blowing out the top during strong winds.
Or perhaps something to do with grain -- especially since it
appears to be beside the previous item.
Now to post, and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
