#358 looks like the insert from an old ice-cube tray--the kind that
had a lever to crack the cubes loose.
#361 is a telephone switchboard, probably from a hotel

357. Tool used when balancing tires. The hammer portion is used to tap
weights in place onto the tire rim, the pliers and claw portions are used to
remove them, and the blade/notch in the handle is used to cut or shape them.
358. The divider portion of an ice-cube tray.
359. Leg irons, or handcuffs for people with large arms.

I think that this is probably correct but I still haven't been able to
confirm it yet.

Mark's right on 357. I knew that, just couldn't get the brain wrapped around
it this early.

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again.
357) Looks like a multi-function tool -- pliers, wire cutter,
hammer, crimper staple extractor, and the long claws perhaps for
tensioning the wire.
358) Ice cube tray divider -- designed to break free of the ice
cubes when the tray is flexed. (Some had a lever to break it
all free, but this one appears to not be so equipped.
359) Hmm ... looks kind of like some really ancient handcuffs
that I have seen (a screw reaches in the larger round piece to
disengage from the other half). But at 3" total I'm not sure
that it is large enough -- in which case it might be part of a
hobble for a horse?
360) Optical, for sure. I can see two possible functions:
a) As a microscope -- with that tiny a hole, the eye
should be able to focus on the pin head.
b) As a projector -- a bright light placed near the
open end should project the image of the pin head onto a
flat surface.
361) An annunciator panel. A push-button somewhere else will cause
a buzzing sound at the panel, and the flappers with the numbers
will drop to a horizontal position.
Interesting that the numbers from 1 through 6 are duplicated in
a larger size -- perhaps greater importance?
Hmm -- the holes under each one suggest that this is really a
simple phone switchboard -- perhaps for a hotel or something
similar. And I *think* that when the flappers are dropped, they
close contacts to keep making a buzzing sound until they are
reset. The holes are the jacks for patch cables to connect from
one to the next.
In that case, the six at the bottom are perhaps outside lines,
to annunciate incoming calls? But where are the jacks for
those -- somewhere outside the borders of what is shown?
362) Hmm -- T&B is (among other things) a manufacturer of crimp
connectors. But I don't think that this one has anything to do
with crimp connectors. It looks rather like a tool for bending
armatures in relays -- but it might be yet another tool for
typewriter repair.
Now to see what others have posted.
Enjoy,
DoN.

You've got a time machine now? The highest number that I see is
#362, but #357 seems a closer match to your "description". :-)
Enjoy,

Those numbers mean something ... 42 - 55 - 22.

I think others have gotten the rest correctly; I think 359 is too heavy
for a stirrup and is more likely the power-carrying link for a yoke - is
that called a pintle?.

Especially funny in german, because the german word for "committee" is
