1253: an alignment tool for keeping that wood stick parallel?
The rollers are arranged to make a two-cable-crossover
so the assembly is free to slide in the jackscrew
direction while holding the wood stick in a fixed orientation.
The jackscrew acts to adjust the cable spacing.
Two adjustable stops set the minimum cable spacing.

Maybe they should have used ones like those instead of epoxied anchor
bolts to hold up the concrete ceiling panels in Boston's "Big Dig".

Which reminds me about a promiscuious young lady who drank too much a a
company country picnic and passed out lying on her back in a field.
She woke up just as a cow was steping over her, looked up and said, "One
at a time boys!"

being milked. The hooks slip over the cow's Achilles' tendons from
the rear and the chain goes in front of the legs. The end of the
chain with the ring is pulled through its hook to pull the legs
together. That hook has a slot to hold the chain adjustment.

It's all wood, and the inserts can pivot upwards about 15 or 20 degrees;
this is the only photo that was sent to me so I can't post any more from
different angles, but the links on the answer page show a few other
examples.

Yes, that's a screwdriver on the side of this tool.

for fracturing bricks in half, without needing to remove the brick
from the wall first. Leave them to use in concrete!

1254. Looks like drum hooks. But the chain is too short for standard
barrels.

1255. The only one that I know is this concrete anchor. There is
a threaded tapered plug in the bottom that is pulled by the
threads and wedged against the sides of the hole.

Correct and they aren't necessarily for kicking. They also keep the
cow from dancing when they are tickelish and keep them from putting
their foot in the milk bucket!
Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it.

I stand corrected and wish we had had one and I only had to milk one
cow.
The hell with ice cream. The only good use of a cow is steak. OK,
barbeque, but pork is best.

I haven't seen the pitchurs, but if that's what they are, they're called
"hobbles"...

As usual, posting from rec.crafts.metalworking.
1251) Hmm ... a clamp designed to hold close where you want
to make a cut at an angle. Probably for cuts at an angle.
1252) Is that *all* wood? It looks as though it has inserts
made of metal or perhaps graphite. A shot or two from
other angles would help, too.
The only thing that I can think of is that it is for programming
something by the presence or absence of projections. (Perhaps
it is a key for a strange lock.
1253) Looks like a tool for tensioning wires in some kind of
assembly. It looks as though the wire passes through the hollow
bolts as guides and then passes through the pulley.
1254) This looks like an expanding insert for putting a stud into
a hole drilled in concrete.
1255) No guess other than that the projection on the side of the
angled joining piece serves as a large screwdriver.
Now to see what others have guessed.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Cecil nailed this one. Sometimes putting them
on a "kicker" cow
becomes an adventure. Just the thing to wake
you up at 5 AM.
