296 ?
297 - Something to do with sealing windows - I've seen advertised in
catalogues, but can't be bothered looking.
298 - Ice cube tongs?
299 - Straight razor for the "George Michael" look?
300 - Didn't load - Turkey baster?
301 - Wire gauge
290 - Insulator for HV pylon
291 - ?
292 - didn't load
293 - Form for espalier plants?
294 - Half finished project (I have lots of these in my shed)
295 - Dunno what they're called, they're wood fasteners, used across a joint
Status so far:
296. No correct answer yet.
297. I would agree that this is most probably a crack weeder, the owner said
that there was dirt on it when he got it.
298. Still not sure about this one, the owner did mention that it's cheaply
made, with flimsy rivets.
The rest were all answered correctly by at least one person.
299. Straight razor, a photo of the entire item can be seen here:

300. Fire syringe, also called a fire piston. I think that specifically the
glass and clear plastic versions are referred to as syringes.
301. Telephone lineman's splicing clamp

297. Flowerpot plow.

300. Fancy plastic version of a ancient bamboo fire maker. Works by heat
of compression to light a bit of fluff you place in it before whacking
down the piston. See:

hoses on autos.
#298: CV clamp crimper? Spark plug boot puller?

#300: For applying glue?
#301: Double sided tubing holder.

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking again:
296) Some sort of embossing tool. The tab on the upper side looks
as though it hooks under something to give greater downforce.
297) Look as though it is for ripping something open, though the
sharpened edge is in the wrong place for how I would think that
it would be used.
298) Looks like a tool for gripping the neck of a chem lab flask,
perhaps an Erylmyer(sp?) flask (conical body), or the more
common bulb bottomed ones whose name I forget.
It looks as though it is spring loaded to remain closed and a
squeeze on the end of the handle opens it.
299) Looks like a straight razor, except for the serrations visible
where the sharp edge should be.
300) Looks like a "fire piston". Put something easily burned in
the bottom, and shove the piston down as fast and as hard as
you can.
301) A reversible crimper or holder. I *think* crimper, and held as
it is, it would serve for crimp splicing wires with two-holed
terminals. Quite old, in any case.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Correct, it's a shoemaker's corrugated burnisher, used on shoe heels or the
edges of thick soles.

Well, it doesn't cost much to play, so here I go:
296 Glue spreader
297 caulking knife
298 surgical tool, quite possibly for dental extractions
299 ... not a razor, a hair trimmer for self-barbering
300 dunno, maybe a surgical device for aspirating some liquid or popping
a boil
301 wire crimper
290 plumb bob
291 dunno / no guess
292 sanding stick for crevices and other small spaces ... I've got several
293 fish drying / smoking hooks
294 rough casting of a step drill
295 corrugated cleat nail

297 is a gardening tool we owned once, I think it was for removing
weeds from between pavement tiles or something.
299 is quite obviously an old-fashioned razor blade.
300 might be some kind of fancy barometer.
301 looks a lot like a wire stripper/crimping tool, that you could
use to attach those crimp-on copper plugs.
