2250. looks like an old tear gas gun. I fired one of these in my youth with
some cops at a gravel pit. Part of an intro to law enforcement program.

I knew it! I got a couple of these right in the last month or so. Yea!
Again, the reason I knew about this is I actually saw it in operation and
got to fire a round from it. It had a kick to it. More so than a shotgun.
The one pictured here looked a little different than the one I saw. But the
case was almost exactly the same.

2250 may be a line gun, for shooting a heaving line at sea.

2250 looks a lot like the older single shot grenade launcher that
predated the M-203. A lot of them were converted over to LTL and tear
gas when they were taken out of military service.

The calibre makes me think not. A lot of line-throwers were 12ga. That
looks to be 38-40mm.

2246: Looks like a thing I've seen hanging from "high-tension"
lines near the insulators, but even if it is one of them,
I have no idea what its function is.

Yes, another name for it is a stretcher.

2246 If you have to pull something on a rope with an eye on the end,
it can be easier if you stick a rod through the eye to use as a handle.
Used as a handle to pull a rope, this tool would keep the rope midway
between the hands.
2245 carry case, but for what?
2246 smoothing down thing, used similar to spokeshave?

I'm thinking that this is probably correct but haven't been able to find any
proof. Someone sent me the photo from Europe, not sure if these were also
used in the U.S.
The rest of them were answered correctly this week, the answers for this set
can be seen here:

If anyone is interested there are a number of rope making videos on youtube,
but I didn't really like any of them enough to post one on the site.

2250 - Someone else mentioned a flare gun, and it could be.
My first impression was that it was used in the Navy for firing a line
across to another ship which starts the highline process.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
2245) Looks like a container for "baking out" some piece of equipment,
while in a vacuum.
The heat is suggested by the metal mesh padding, and the vacuum
by the O-ring sealing the closure of the container, the complex
leverage for locking it closed, and the fitting to left of
center on the front. The fact that the container appears to be
stainless steel supports both the vacuum and the high
temperature application.
2246) This one looks like it is intended to have a line (rope)
belayed to the central cleat and a single individual pulling on
both handles for a really strong pull without being exposed to
the friction burns of the raw hemp rope.
2247) To be honest -- no idea. Perhaps a lever for the brakes
on a wagon? Kind of small, though.
The "clue" doesn't help me.
2248) A pick-up grabber for something -- perhaps trash and debris in
a sewer or something similar?
Looks like squeeze the handles to open the grippers, relase to
close them.
2249) Looks like an intermediate piece in a ship's (or smaller
sailboat) rigging -- perhaps for the backstays on a gaff rigged
sailboat.
2250) Rather large bore, which suggests that it is either a flare gun
(though those which I have seen have been more of a pistol
style), or for heaving the end of a line to another ship.
Now off to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
