1603 It's a "medical device" early 20th century, delivers a mild
electrical shock through
the roller. Should be a ground wire with it somewhere. There was a lot of
this stuff around
when electricity was new and mysterious.
1604 Track chain drive sprockets from something. Probably a crawler type
tractor,
could be from a track drill or something else that used tracks.
1606 Wood splitter. The insert pieces cam out to push the wood apart.

They work Ok on wood that is fairly easy to split. But if there is a big
knot in there or some twisted grain, it is like hitting a big rock. The
vibration and shock travels down the handle into your arms and hurts.

1604 - truck or crawler drive sprockets. At one time most cars and trucks
used chain drive, but a 50Lbs sprocket was on the large side.

Nah... it's an oil can pitcher. Drop in a can, push the lid shut to
contain AND open the can, then pour.
Replaced in the US with the "oil spout".

The flip tab made it obsolete. Now we wear hats with two cans and

All except 1606 are rather wild guesses this time around.
1603 - Some early phony medical apparatus that used electricity to
"heal," perhaps? Apparently receiving the minute current from a battery
via a special brass roller is more medicinal than just holding the
terminals of said battery.
1604 - Driver cogs for a tracked vehicle, replaceable when worn.
1605 - Evidently, a can is placed inside the pitcher and the lid
punctures the top, permitting the contents of the can to be poured out
the spout. I could see something like this having been used for motor
oil (in preference to the spouts that mounted directly on the can), but
the shape doesn't look right for that application.
1606 - Head from a funky splitting maul; the toggles spread outwards and
force the two parts of the log apart. I'm not convinced these work much
better than the usual heavy and relatively wide wedge design, but
apparently some people prefer them.
1607 - I'd guess these are clips to hold a curtain of some slightly
specialized design (possibly for e.g. a train sleeper compartment), but
there are other reasonable options.
1608 - Looks vaguely familiar, but not enough to have an idea as to
application. I'd guess that the cranking action actually operates more
as a jack or winch than to spin the single claw around, but can't prove
it from the picture.
Now to read the other responses.

1605 - Juice server. Place juice can inside, close lid, serve juice.

Correct

This is the most popular guess but it's not correct, also it's not a tarp
clip, as someone else suggested.

It wasn't for milk, this device was made obsolete by another invention that
followed it some years later.

I don't know what that is, I did a quick search on it and didn't find much,
so I can't say for sure but I don't think that's correct. Leo got it right,
it's for beer, and it made the pull tab obsolete, as mentioned by E Z. The
product name is Tapster, by Revere Co.

The one at that patent looks like the same device but I think it was for a
different company.
The cap of the one in my photo says patent pending, I found a different
patent that listed the manufacturer on it, Electraply Laboratories. Looks
like they've all been answered correctly this week, several new photos have
been posted on the answer page:

Hard to say for sure. I like the slogan on the front of the Electreat
manual, "Two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Shooting
Electricity in forces the Pain out."

Hmmm... The Manual link you give shows the cover of the Electreat
Manual, but the caption says it's the Electraply Manual.
Here's the whole Electreat Manual:
http://www.electrotherapymuseum.com/Library/Electreat/index.htm
Published in 1919, the manual says it was in production since 1918.
Page 7 says "You brain and not your stomach ( orother organs, especially
the sexual organs in women), should generate the nerve energy that
governs the body."
Page 13 says the internal electrode goes in the rectum to free the bowel
and cure sexual ailments. It should be cleaned after use.
250,000 Electreats were sold between 1919 and 1944.
After the passage of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act in 1938, the
inventor, Charles Willie Kent,was the first person the government
prosecuted for false claims. He had to stop selling it as an artificial
heart.
I wonder if the Electreat had legal problems in some states as of 1928,
and that's why it was repatented as the Electraply.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1603) Two guesses here:
A) used for electroplating large objects which can't be
put in a proper plating bath. This would require a
sponge-like sleeve around the roller with an electrolyte
soaked into it. It would also require a lead from the
cap side of the cell (not likely at true multi-cell
"battery" in there).
B) Old electrically-based "therapy" tool similar to the
high voltage devices with glass rubbing devices
(diathermy machine). This would require a vibrator in
the housing, powered by the cell to generate a higher
voltage. The diathermy machines used to generate
amazing amounts of radio frequency interference. I've
actually seen devices built around the high voltage
handle of one used for testing for high voltage
breakdown.
1604) Looks like sprockets to engage the tracks in earth moving
machinery. Presumably worn enough so they were replaced in the
field and then just forgotten.
1605) A pitcher designed to puncture a can and poor the contents
from the can.
The metals are wrong for food products.
The size is too small for the old oil cans for automotive use.
However, it might be about the right size for cans of dry-gas
(methanol) used to keep water in the gas line from freezing.
It looks to have a latch to keep the lid from coming open once
it has punctured the can.
1606) Looks to me like a wedge (usually mounted on an axe-like
handle the remains of which can be seen in the socket) used for
splitting logs. It drives in a short distance (hammered by a
sledge hammer on the back) and the pawls grip the wood and apply
more lateral force to encourage the splitting.
1607) Those look as though they fit on shower curtain rods.
Whether they support the curtain, or something else remains to
be seen.
1608) Looks like some inverse screw jack, designed to pull things
together instead of to lift them. Perhaps a tool for assembling
iron shod wagon wheels?
Now off to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I mentioned in a previous posting that it could be for dri-gas
(methanol).
But another possibility is for ATF (Automatic Transmission
Fluid), or perhaps for other additives for the gas tank (other than
dri-gas). Or perhaps even the engine cleaning stuff (I forget the name)
which you poured directly into the carburetor.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Here they are together:

I wonder if it was really the same company that produced the three items.
