734: Golf ball retriever
732. I'm guessing sissor sharpener from the angle.
733. Guessing. Specialized rabbeting plane. Missing the blade. Used
like a spoke shave (odd). The wooden pieces sticking down would act as
guides.
734. Looks like part of a cherry or olive pitter.
736. Guessing. A corner chisel. Maybe for stone working?
737. Flechette http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flechettes

732- holds a metal file (well duh) so that a square edge can be filed
onto a piece of metal.
733
734
735- elevator car arrival lights
736- sheet metal cutting chisel, but designed for some special purpose.
Metal roofing?
737- WWI hand-release bomb.

Howdy Rob...Looks like
734 Is a golf ball retriever.... I have LOT'S of experience with one of
these little babies.. My golf theory is getting ones money's worth out
of a course by using all of the available terrain... ;-)
735 I'd want to guess some sort of phone indicator or a second guess
whould be a lionel track switching indicator - Though I'd think the
second light would be green if that were the case... I'm think
something phone oriented.
736 Tree tapping tool? Hole start for a sproul hole?
737 Bomb for a model plane? At only 1.75 inches it's pretty small to
be anything else.

732. Jointer for saw teeth, works for scrapers too.
733. Router
734. Looks very familiar, can't quite place it--maybe for retreiving
golf balls from water traps?
735. ??
736. Muffler and pipe splitting tool.
737. Swarms of these were dropped out of bombers in WWII with
the intent of perforating sheet metal roofs of factories and
damaging whatever they hit inside.

735 -
My guess is a deaf persons phone/door (white) or fire/etc (red) lamp.
Without hearing, different sounds we normally relate to has to be done in lamps.

#732 A jig for filing the teath level on a saw prior
to sharpening then setting.
#733
#734 Ice cream scoop
#735 Visual phone bell
733 looks like the top of my Granny's pickling barrel.

Once again they've all been answered correctly:
732. Saw jointer
733. Router plane, thanks to everyone who gave the solution to this, the
link on the answer page is the same one provided by RicodJour in this thread
734. Golf ball retriever
735. Phone system lights
736. Muffler tool
737. Lazy dog missile, I was planning to use "flechette" as the answer,
until someone posted a good link on my site.
A couple of new photos and links have been posted on the answer page:

Thanks for the link, does the missing piece of wood serve a function at all,
or is it just there for aesthetics?

It looks like a good design for a reading light on the bridge of a
fishing boat, for example, or to light a passageway to the bridge. In
port you use white. At sea you leave a red light on in the passageway
and use a red light on the bridge to see a chart.
If the lenses screw in, it would be easy to change a bulb in the dark.
If they have rubber gaskets, the fixture could protect the contents from
salty mist in the air.

Technically, the closed mouth is intended to apply pressure in front
of the blade, to prevent chipping out large chunks. However, in this
case, the mouth is pretty large. See also Stanley #71.

As always, posting from rec.crafts.metalworking.
732) This is for filing the edge of some flat material. The teeth
of the file are too fine to make wood a choice, and really too
fine for many aluminum alloys, but Plexiglas, steel, brass, or
quite a few other materials will do.
Thinking it over -- filing Plexiglas square is a necessary
preparation for solvent gluing the edges to make something like
an aquarium or something similar.
733) This one I would guess (and it is *only* a guess) is part of a
music stand -- the part on which the bottom edge of the sheet
music rests. Another part would slide onto the same metal
tongue on which this clamps to offer back support for the music.
Whether it is part of a stand-alone stand, or one which is part
of something like an organ I have no idea.
734) Based on the size and the apparent material, my guess is is a handle
for picking up a pyrex lid to some cookware -- picking it up by
the knob on top.
735) Some sort of indicator. Perhaps to go over the door to an
airlock to say when it is safe to open. Perhaps for a
conference phone. Perhaps for any of a large number of other
possibilities.
736) An interesting variant of a splitter chisel for removing old
mufflers from exhaust pipes. This one looks as though it can be
held by the long part while the short part is used for the
splitting -- keeping the user's hand out of range of the hammer,
or once it is started by the short arm, you can switch to the
long chisel, which would be pretty much self supporting while
you hammer on it.
737) A "lazy dog" bomblet. No explosive, just mass. They were
dropped from airplanes in large quantities, the fins assured
that they oriented pointed end down, for optimum aerodynamics.
The material which I have seen before was lead, though this one
appears to have a steel outer skin from the apparent rust.
Falling from a significant height, they would reach a velocity
similar to one fired from a gun, but the odds of hitting a
standing person would be lower, thanks to the smaller
cross-sectional area of a vertical view of the person.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

I saw them in one of the old-time Army/Navy Surplus Stores labeled
"Yellow Dog Bombs." They were supposedly dropped from aircraft onto
troop concentrations. The streamlined shape allowed them to reach very
high speeds, according to the proprietor.

Hey Rob.
732 is used to file a "square" edge on sheet stock. Used to level
the tooth height on hand-saw blades too??
733. ?? part of a gauge of some sort? Tailor or dress-maker comes
to mind. Hmmm.. or used in pairs as a width gauge?
734. Golf ball retriever.
735. Photography dark-room indicator lamp. White indicates room in
use, red indicates light-sensitive activity.
736. Manual exhaust system tool, used to cut sleeved pipes.
737. Hmmm.... pretty small, so maybe a fishing accessory? Does it
have a fastening point we can't see in this shot?

I seem to remember seeing something very much like this in hospital
wards - there's one outside each room; the white light comes on when
you call for the nurse, and the red one when there's an emergency
in the room, or something like that.
Or either that, or something to do with telephones, going by the color
and apparent material of the base of the thing - it just looks like
old Western Electric telephone bakelite. ;-)
Cheers!
