My default, guaranteed to be completely wrong, guess for things I have
no idea about is "chastity device". Like #3118.

I'm reaching the conclusion that "a fence tool" is the best possible
guess for almost anything!

Posting from the desk top PC in my living room as always.
3115, gasket cutter for bit brace. used by old
order Amish to make buggy wheel gaskets.
3116, no clue.
3117, axle from toy car?
3118, early moth trap. This screwed onto a bell
jar, the prongs allow ingress, but not as easy
egress for the moths.
3119, planting seed dispenser part, from a farm
machine. This is the regulator, the dispenser is
sold separately.
3120 cow back scratcher adjustment device.

I agree. All have what looks like a morse taper.

3119 This is the metering bracket from an old seeder that sets the
bushels per acre seeded.

I think this probably correct.
I think 3117 is some sort of torque limiting stud.
3118 is the lid from a mason jar mouse trap.

Correct, it's a picket fence wire twister

Yes, seems like there's a never ending supply! I have a fence tool book but have
only posted a small fraction of what is listed in it, so I'm sure I'll be
posting
more of them in the future.

I don't have this tool so I can't check it out but I think you are right about
the spring.

No one has answered this one correctly yet.

I was about to say something similar. It seems like the first 2 millions
US patents are fence tools or combination pliers.

Same here. That one looks like it would be strange to use unless it's
missing parts. How do you hold it while pushing/pulling the handle?

Presumably for threads down fairly deep recesses? The ones I've seen are
shorter, and turned from hex stock, no need for knurling or the reduced
diameter.

I'm not sure if it's for any particular depth or not, maybe someone else will
know.
They have all been answered correctly this week, though I'm still looking for a
good reference for the lathe chucks.

3115: Circle cutter for a hand brace. Can cut both inner and outer diameter at once.
Possibly used to cut leather washers.
3119: I believe this is from a threshing machine and allows one to adjust the
scale tip for particular grain types.

3115 Hole cutter either for wood, or leather, used in a brace.
3116 Hand/bench held collets for doing wood carvings, and painting small
round items or finials.
3117 Threaded rod for a handplane tote.. probably Prentice or Clifton,
Stanley did not have that nice a rod.

Posting from the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking as
always.
3115) I'll bet that the central pin is spring loaded, so when
pressure is applied, it allows the two blades to contact the
work surface.
Anyway -- It is held in an old style brace (from "brace and bit"
days), and it is used to cut two concentric circles to form a
ring gasket in a gasket material, which may be leather, cork,
rubber, or even cardboard.
3116) My guess:
Intended for holding cylindrical or ball-shaped objects to be
held against a moving sanding surface
3117) Hmmm ... the two threaded parts on the ends are separate from
the rod, and I suspect that the rod threads into them, based on
the knurled surface near each end.
I also suspect that the threads securing each end to the rod are
opposite, so when the rod is turned between them, it adjusts the
space between the two ends a bit.
At a pure guess -- it is a tool for determining the requited
length of stay rods in something like a steam boiler. (A lot of
these join opposite surfaces in a boiler to take the stress of
the high pressure steam.
At a guessed diameter of the rod of about 1/4", I doubt that it
would be strong enough to be used directly as a stay rod.
3118) Part of a trap.
At a guess -- for minnows or some similarly small fish. Take a
mason jar, put something which minnows like inside, screw on the
lid, and sink it in the river. (Put on a string so you can
recover it, of course). Minnow can swim in between the points,
but can't reverse direction to get back out.
3119) A linkage to set a scale for various products in a basket.
I suspect that it in part compensates for the weight of the
basket. You set the pointer to the amount you want, and lock it
down, and then fill the basket until another pointer points to
an index mark -- or until something shuts off the flow of the
product to the container.
3120) A device for twisting a few wires or strings together.
You slide them into the slot, and then push the handle rotating
the slot about one full turn, or perhaps 1-1/2 turn. I think
that it is pretty close to a single turn, counting teeth on the
exposed sections of both rack and pinion.
Perhaps it is for twisting the neck of a bag to seal it?
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
