A google search for HAYDEN-NILOS by itself shows the company made a
number of different crimping tools to attach ferrules to hose
assemblies. The pictures looks like it might be some type ofa crimper.

1753. Hone steel. NOT for sharpening, for honing the edge. You use
stones to sharpen.
1754. Not a clue on that one. When I hear the answer it will be
obvious.
1755. Rope making machine. Twine goes in between the "spokes and
through the shaft the handle is attached to, crank the handle and rope
comes out the shaft.
1756. Better picture would help. What happens when the "T" is rotated
(I assume it does)?
1757. Darkroom timer
1758. Used vertically, a fence post driver; used horizontally, a
battering ram. Is it hollow and open on the small end? Fence post
driver (Or I should more properly say a "T"-post driver)

Any chance of getting some more pictures for item 1756?
A bit more detail on the end that is blurry may be of help,
along with some rough measurements for size (shrug).
I KNOW this isn't your work Rob, your pictures are always

Yes, you sharpen knives with a stone and use the steel as you said. Done
properly, it's a two step operation.

That's what I was going to guess (though I think I'd drop that last
"e")[1], though it's hard to tell without being able to see the surface
of the rod, which would have fine ridges (like a big file). I remember
we had one in the house when I was growing up, that my dad used to
sharpen the carving knives and such.
[1] OTOH, maybe that's Remington's brother?

The purpose of 1754 seems to be to pull a cord, or to release tension on
a cord, by squeezing the two metal cups together.

Ah, so; after someone else suggested this might be a doorbell, the light
went off. What I thought were "cups" could be bells.
Still seems like an awkward, roundabout way to do it, though.

Alexander,
Not arguing, quibbling, or picking nits...
On at least some of the "T"-post drivers, the handles ARE offset to one
side:

I had a bit of trouble connecting to the news server yesterday, so here
are my guesses, perhaps a bit late to the party:
1753 - Sharpening steel for knives
1754 - Press or mold for some semi-soft substance, maybe butter? (I'm
assuming the top arm must be pivoted someplace near the metal
hemisphere, so that pulling the string would bring the two hemispheres
together.)
1755 - It seems I should recognize this--I think I've seen pictures of
them around somewhere. Possibly a tool for unraveling and reforming
wire rope, say when making splices? Or maybe the driving end of a large
roasting spit?
1756 - Some sort of a hitch pin or similar device for locking things
together? A door closer?
1757 - Ye olde darkroom timer, used to time exposures on an enlarger or
print frame. Typically, the unit controls both a safelight and the
printer bulb, and there's a switch to allow focusing, etc. that turns on
the enlarger without timing stuff. If my memory serves me, one of the
hands marks a preset time, and operating the unit moves the other to
that preset and then counts down (seconds) until zero.
1758 - Motorcycle muffler?
Now to catch up on other guesses...

Definitely a Gralab darkroom timer,

particular one has seen hard use.

It's not a doorbell, the rope in the front probably went to a foot pedal,
steppiug on it would have brought the metal parts closer together. The base
of it was most likely attached to a table or workbench.

1758 Several people have suggested "Fence Post Driver".
I don't want to quibble, or pick nits, or argue... but... (Here he goes
anyway.)
With the handles offset on one side, if this were used a a fence post
driver, your wrists would be working overtime to keep it straight. I'd
expect the handles on a fence post driver to be symmetrical about the center
of gravity.

Well if you wanted a GOOD edge you would use a three step process. Hone
to primary edge, stone to a secondary edge then steel the final edge.
My Wusthofs and Henckels get the full treatment about three times a
year. The rest of the time its a quick hit with the steel.

The tool was sent to me a few weeks ago and I couldn't find the email when
made this week's post, I looked for it again today and found it, there were
no measurements included but he did say: "It is marked HAYDEN-NILOS Pat. No.
469568 Made in England." There was also another photo of it:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/Album11/IMG_0021.jpg
I'm not sure if British patents are available online, haven't had time to
research it yet.
A couple hours ago someone left this comment on the web site:
"1756 is a square recessed socket wrench, used to remove valve seats from
control valves. turning the handle counterclockwise locks the wrench into
position within the recessed valve seat. turning the handle to the right
will cause the wrench to be ejected from the socket."
I have not been able to verify this but it sounds promising. I'll ask the
owner for the size of the tool.

I found several sites that had British patents available but none returned
anything with this number. I also found that GB469568 was issued in 1937
http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/patent/p-about/p-whatis/p-oldnumbers/p-oldnumbers-1916.htm
so maybe the online databases just don't go that far back.

Copies of British patents may be had gratis at the European Patent
Office. <http://ep.espacenet.com/?locale=EN_ep>
Note that they may not be had at the British Patent Office, which is
only for getting patents issued to inventors.

Thanks Joe, I think this is probably the device/patent:
http://v3.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?DB=EPODOC&adjacent=true&locale=en_EP&FT=D&date=19370728&CC=GB&NR=469568A&KC=A

is adapted to engage a transverse abutment of a clip and is
arranged to engage near one end of its available movement
the 75 guillotine or shear blade to urge it across the
transverse slot, and operating means, preferably giving
mechanical advantage, for moving the abutment member along
the shank 80 ( 2) An implement according to Claim 1 wherein
the guillotine or shear blade is arranged to slide in a
channel, preferably of rectangular etoss section, formed
through the head, into which channel the 85 slot opens.
( 3) An implement according to Claim 2 wherein the shank is
hollow, the channel of the head communicates with the hollow
of the shank, the abutment member com 90 prises a nut
slidable within the hollow of the shank and provided with an

The hand that's pointed at 57 takes one minute to go around, and the
numbers are seconds. The hand that's at 7 is an hour all the way around,
and each tick is one minute. IOW, it's minutes and seconds, 59:59 max.
The knob in the middle turns the second hand to the # of seconds you want,
and you set the "hour" hand to the # of minutes you want by moving it by
that little tab bent forward at its end.
Cheers!

I've only seen the one type, so I'm not going to argue here. :-)

Pretty common state of affairs in England/Europe in the 1800's ... the
bell strings, ropes and pulleys in a multi-story house look like our
electrical rough-in's today.

1757 is used in photography to set exposure time. I've also seen such
timers used in academic quiz competitions: the buzzers are plugged into
the timer, so that you can't buzz in after time expires.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1753) This looks like a sharpening iron for a carving knife (turkey
carving, not wood carving).
It is like a file with the grooves parallel to the length
of the iron.
I've not seen one with what looks like an articulated hanging
ring on it before, however.
1754) looks like something designed to clamp something until the rope
is slacked. Not sure for what, however.
1755) Looks like something to turn a tenon on the end of a wagon
wheel spoke.
1756) Some kind of spreader -- not sure how it is mounted.
1757) Gralab darkroom timer. A fairly old one of the pre digital
versions, based on the knob. The knob allows you to set seconds
within a minute until it trips, the minute hand (shown at eight
minutes to go) moves in clicks to add minutes to the seconds.
You grip it by the bent-up tip.
It can operate a device connected to the outlet on the side
(likely the light in an enlarger most of the time) or just sound
a rather loud and annoying buzzer when the time runs out. The
switch on the top is likely to silence the buzzer -- I had to
add one to mine if I remember correctly. :-)
1758) Absolutely no idea.
Now to see what others have guessed.
Enjoy,
DoN.
