the second item this week:
It looks like a roofer's hatchet but it's only 6" long, so this one has a
different use.

2642 could be used to trim the ends of plastic optical fiber to make a
smooth end before connecting. Like these tools:
http://www.dipol.ie/pof-cutter-ultimode-pof-2t.html
http://i-fiberoptics.com/tools.php?cat=cutting
It also might be used as a wire stripper, or to remove the sheething from
small coax cable.
2641, wrenches or shut off tools, of some kind. As to what, that's beyond my
knowledge.
2642, we can barely see the edges of the razor blade. Looks like the center
part turns, and cuts off something that sticks through the tear drop shaped
holes. Not sure why there is a flat base, so it looks like it can sit on a
desk or shelf when not used.
2643, roofer's hatchet. I've seen these in use, over the years.
2644, don't know.
2645, vehicle gear shift handle, for dog lover.
2646, spaghetti extruder, and cut off.

2642 might be good for cutting rubber tubing at 90 degrees. You'd need
a tool like a checker with a dowel glued through the center at right
angles. The diameter of the dowel should be the inside diameter of the
tubing and small enough to go through the small end of the slot.
If you put the dowel through the slot from the far side, holding the
checker against the unseen face of the tool should keep the dowel
perpendicular to the blade.
With the dowel coming through the big end of the slot, slide the tubing
on from the near side. Depending on the position of the blade relative
to the slot, pushing the checker to the small end could cause the blade
to cut through the tubing to the dowel. Slide the checker back to the
big end, rotate it a few degrees, and repeat. You could end up with the
tubing cut off evenly at 90 degrees.
2641 I've seen some gas valves that used a slot wrench with a shape
like these, but I suspect these are for something else.

Don't know if this is correct or not but I'll pass it on to the owner.

They do look similar but the ones on my site are not gas valve wrenches.

I like the bench dog idea but that's not correct.

A few people have suggested it could be a wire stripper but I haven't been
able to find any others like it.

You're correct about it being part of a more complex device, but it isn't
related to bus transfer tickets.

Turns out that your original guess is correct, it's been verified that it's
a slicer for microscopes.

This answer is correct.
The rest of the answers for this week can be seen at the link below, I
couldn't find any proof for the dog's head but I'll take the owner's word on
it for now.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
2641) A tool for drilling a hole or tightening/loosening a nut
or bolt in a restricted location -- working around obstructing
beams.
2642) Looks like a microtome (thin slicing tool for samples to go
under a microscope. In this case, it would be for stems of
foliage which would be placed through one of the teardrop
holes, the blade holder would be rotated to force the sample
into the narrow end of the teardrop, and then slice it.
Then you would move the sample a little farther into the
teardrop and repeat, producing a thin slice of the stem to be
mounted on a glass slide and studied under the microscope.
It might also be a tool for preparing stems for splicing.
2643) 6" long seems rather small for this tool, unless it is perhaps
6" from blade to hammer head.
Otherwise, it looks like a hammer, hatchet, and nail puller.
If the 6" is overall length -- head to handle, perhaps it is
used for model making.
2644) The instructions printed on the paper suggest that this is a
part of a more complex device.
The shape of the paper is about that of a transfer stub from a
bus, which suggests that the holder fits into something on the
farebox.
The numbers along the top suggest a punch hole is placed to show
where in the hour this was issued.
Exactly what the "length of letters" text is about, I have no
idea.
2645) Hood ornament for a Mack truck?
Handle for a custom shift lever or a walking stick are other
options.
2646) Strange device. It sort of looks like a part of a meat grinder,
except that I'm not sure why the blank plate between the two
plates with different sized perforations.
Now to post this and see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I like the suggestion. For stripping the jacket -- and the
braided shielding from coax cables -- at a guess in the size range from
RG-174 (a little over 1/8" diameter) up through perhaps RG-59 (close to
5/16" diameter). It would need a larger opening to handle RG-8 and
similar.
The two similar sides could be set up so one cuts deep enough to
go through both the jacket and the shield, and the other only through
the shield -- but setting the projection of the razor blade would be
tricky at best.
It is common to have a specific length of center conductor and
insulation projecting, then another shorter length of braided shielding
before getting to the fully jacketed remainder of the cable. But I
don't see anything serving as a settable depth stop for each cut.
Enjoy,
DoN.

2641. Combination calthrop/candle extinguisher. Because you never know
when you'll need the two together.
2642. Some sort of old-fashioned pencil sharpener?
2643. Hatchet. Oh, you want to know what specifically it's used for?
2644. The thing about "length of letters" made me think at first that
this was used for handwriting analysis. I have a feeling it's medical
related, but have no idea what specific purpose it's for.
2645. Door knocker
2646. My first thought was something like a garlic press -- it's too
small to be a series of sieves. I think it's too small to be garlic,
but I still think it's a press of some sort.
