The turpentine buckets we used had a flat side and a large wooden handle.

2582 does look like the red fire buckets filled with sand, but then why is
there no handle? If you look on the web all of them have a handle. That one
little hole does not look like it was meant to hold the weight of a bucket
filled with sand.
Notice the blackening inside. My guess is this was a personal burn basket
for getting rid of confidential documents before the era of shredders.
2581. African phonograph, with stretched out lower lip. Or, maybe a coin
sorter, or coil roller.
2582 early fire extinguisher. Kept filled with sand.
2583 "digital" gun safe.
2584 bench vise that clamps on the edge of a table.
2585 hair straightening iron from the 1800s.
2585 burner from a laboratory burner. Brass gas jets, and metal to hold the
beaker of chemicals.

I saw one, once. Guy was sorting and counting coins from a vending machine.
He set up on a table, in the store near the machine. I found it fascinating
to watch.

2581 I haven't seen this before, but, I think it is a coin counter.

I was thinking of the fire pails, they used to use
in retail stores. Now you mention sap pot, that
makes more sense.

BINGO! I had several! Damn! I forgot...

2581 - Coin counter.
2582 -
2583 - Gunvault pistol safe. Place your fingers in the slots, it reads
your prints and opens. Key is a back-up release.
2584 - Saw vice. Used to hold the blade in place while you sharpen or
set the teeth.
2585 - Buggy step. Used to provide a stepping point to enter or exit
horse drawn buggies, also used on some early cars for the same purpose.
2586 - Looks like a nozzle of some type. Maybe for a fountain?

It's Coca-Cola Red, or at least it was... I'll guess it's the cap
catcher bucket for under the Bottle Opener of a Coke Machine.
It would hang from a screw on the side of the cooler. Blackening
would be from residual phosphoric acid due to fizz-overs.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
2581) A machine for counting coins and depositing them in a rolling
paper.
At a guess, various reducing adaptor tubes go in the main
collector tube. The knob in the slide to the right of the tube
and ramp adjusts for a specific size of coin, and the ratcheting
stop to the left is probably to set the counter to count in
total dollars
What is not clear is whether there is any way to have it reject
coins of the wrong size for the value currently being counted.
Maybe another hand cranked machine does the sorting.
It obviously needs a new rubber tire on the feed wheel, as the
current one is hardened and badly cracked.
2582) Based on the color scheme, this was for fire control purposes.
It probably contained sand for quenching a fire.
2583) Based on the presence of the Ace lock, it is likely for
handling coins, and I suspect that the coins slide into the
notches and depress springs under the dots at about the 3/4 way
down the notches.
Perhaps for accepting fare on some kind of bus?
2584) A vise for holding a saw blade while it is being filed to sharpen
it.
It tilts to make it easier to cut the proper angle with a
triangular file.
2585) The pattern suggests poker chips, but it is too large for that.
It is too small to be a tortilla press.
It looks as though it is designed to bolt onto a bar on some
kind of machine.
I still think that it is related to the preparation of some
foodstuffs.
2586) Quite familiar to me.
It is a pin straighter for 7-pin miniature (glass) radio tubes.
Usually bolted to either a technicians workbench, or to a tube
tester. There is another one (with ten holes) for 9-pin
miniature tubes. Somewhere I have a double one, with only the
pin straightening die metal -- the rest (the base and the side
guides is red plastic for one size, and blue for the other.
The reason why there is one too many hole for each size is that
the tubes have equally spaced pins and a gap to assure that they
can only go into the socket in one orientation. The
straightener could be the same, but it does not care which pin
is where, so it makes life easier to not have to properly orient
the tube to only one position to straighten the pins.
Now to post this and then check what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
