I thought for goats, but at 14" long and 9.5" high it's too small even
for them.

2195 is stanchions for cattle. Anybody who has worked on a dairy farm has
seen these. These are the fancy ones. On my farm, growing up, we used wood
ones. They hold the cow in place so you can milk them.

It's a goat stanchion. Made to be mounted on a wood rail.

We used them for both feeding (so they don't raid one-anothers' rations),
and for some milking of troublesome animals, and for medication and
inspections.

Had one; home-built.

2192 These look like broaches...
Metalworking tools. Like files, but with carefully, and precisely
machined teeth. Pulled (or pushed or both) through the workpiece to
make controlled-shape interior slots or holes.

2194 Card dealer's shoe. Makes it hard for the dealer to deal seconds or
from the bottom. Also makes it harder for the players to see marked cards.

It doesn't open, the dark part is a solid mass. These were used hundreds of
years ago.

The last four words of this answer are correct, though there is a particular

2196 is a BFA
Blank firing adapter - It clamps the the end of a M16 when firing blanks to
force pressure back down the gas tube
which operates the bolt to eject and chamber another round.

It _is_ solid and heavy but it's not a weight, if I told you what the heavy
part was someone would probably quickly guess the answer.

Yes, though I was going to say it was for pop top cans, I guess it would
work equally well on pop tops or pull tabs.

That's it! At least that's the answer for what the heavy part is, though it
doesn't really address what it was for.

The ring on the top looked like a winding key - is it just for attaching it
to your key chain?

The photo was taken in a mariner's museum, I don't know how old the item is,
my guess is that the ring was used to hang it from a string.

Yes, and as a number of people mentioned it's a salesman's sample. The rest
of them have been answered correctly this week:

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always:

2191) Strange beastie. Since it seems to be attached to
a key ring, it might be part of a link to a belt hook for
something line a janitor's or night watchman's keys. The keys
will hold in place under normal conditions, but they can be
easily detached from the belt at need -- including what once
happened to a janitor at a school dorm. He was walking along
outside and saw a radiator hanging from one of the upstairs
windows. So, he went up there, put his key (still attached to
his belt) in the lock and turned -- finding it rather difficult
to turn. Then it turned, and he found himself sliding across
the room, dragged by the keys attached to his belt.

What had happened was that the room was one of two with a shared
door between which could be unlocked from both sides to allow
passage between the rooms. This was during summer session, with
few students, so lots of empty rooms. Someone wanting to give
the current occupant of that room a hard time had:

1) Unbolted the radiator from the steam pipes (summer, so
no steam).

2) Tied the radiator to the doorknob by a steel cable.

3) Removed the door's hinge pins.

4) Left via the door to the other room.

He expected his friend/victim to come along, turn the key, and
have the door vanish across the room -- not to have a janitor
with keys attached to his belt.

The only reason that he was not pulled through the window and
down a few floors to the ground was that the door did not fit
through the window.

2192) Looks as though it is a tool for drilling a hole in wood from a
single side and then extending the hole rather quickly by using
the rest of the tool as either a file or a saw depending on
which edge was applied. Way too coarse for most metals, though
it would work on lead or other soft metals I guess.

2193) A black stone turned into a watch fob?

Perhaps a container for something?

2194) Looks like an industrial version of a dealer's "shoe" for some
card game -- Baccarat, perhaps?

Anyway -- intended to deal one card (or whatever) face down from
the toe.

2195) A demonstration of complex linkages perhaps?

2169) Looks like a tool for popping out ball joint linkages or something
similar.

Might also be used for installing a press fit of some sort in
the field -- certainly not in a factory, but perhaps in a
garage.

Now to see what others suggest they are.

Enjoy,
DoN.

If it is lodestone, then the function is as a compass.

This suggests that either the ring is mounted on a low friction
bearing, or that it would have to be hung from something like thread to
allow sufficient freedom of rotation.

Enjoy,
DoN.
