Yeah, this looks a lot like a drum brake spring tool.

of paper together.

2394 might be part of an ignition lock assembly from a

2390 The spontoon, with an 18" blade on a 6' shaft, was a decisive
weapon in the Revolution. An American officer could signal in the noise
of battle and protect his men from bayonets as they reloaded. A quarter
of a century later, Lewis and Clark carried spontoons to Oregon.
Logically, spontoons should have been useful until officers had
revolvers and soldiers had breech loaders. I imagine 2390 could be a
spontoon with a retractable blade. That would make it safer, easier to
carry in woods, and less likely to show an enemy where the officers were.

The owner described it as a 'Confederate Civil War pike', there is a 15"
blade attached to the internal metal part. Not sure if there is a
difference between a pike and a spontoon, as someone else suggested.

I agree that it looks like a spring tool, not sure exactly what kind though,
haven't been able to find one on the web just like it.
I suppose that give me partial credit? Neat! Glad I got one.

Nail puller is correct but it's for a certain kind of nail
that was used for
a specific purpose.

Nope, that patent calls it something other than a nail, but it looks like a
type of nail to me.

By golly, R E Lee had a plan in 1862 to include two companies of pikemen
in an infantry regiment! It never saw action.
I believe the Confederates misused the term "pike." A pike was 10 to 25
feet long to keep cavalry from getting close enough to use their lances.
Firearms made pikes obsolete because their unwieldiness made troops
too slow to attack or defend themselves against muskets.

Nope, the patent describes a different use it.

Saw handle is a good guess, it's different from most in that it can hold a
couple ounces of oil that can be slowly released with the trigger.
Still not sure about the wire item and we're lacking specifics for the
pliers but the rest of the answers have been posted here:

The ring is clamped in place on the steering column and the forked part
pivots to lock or unlock the steering wheel, although the patent shows it
operating differently. The construction of this one seems to have been
modified a lot since the patent drawings, I'd have thought they would have
gotten another patent with all of the changes they made.

You mean, in an orderly fashion, right? Typically when someone wants to
untension a fence, they use a dikes. Or a bolt-cutter for chain-link. ;-)

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2389) Not enough views to allow a reasonable guess, unless you are
someone who has seen one before -- and I am not. :-)
2390) At a guess, it is what the soldiers in a trench just below the
targets on a military firing range use to reach up and change
or patch the targets.
Being in the trench, they are safe from the bullets, and being
just in front of the targets, they can call out how good the
hits were -- and put up fresh target boards.
2391) At a guess -- a tool for disassembling wooden crates to allow
unpacking the contents. The hinged 'C' will allow the left hand
to pull up on the claw while the right hand uses the normal
leverage. With just the right dimensions, the free end of the
'C' could be put on the floor to allow using it as the stable
point for leverage.
2392) Perhaps a tool for removing primers from fired cartridges to
allow reloading them. In particular, perhaps for the Berdan
primers (more common in European military cartridges) instead of
the Boxer primers more common in US cartridges.
2393) Perhaps to drape pup tent halves over for drying?
2394) I presume that the key allows the ring to be separated from
the forked bottom. Perhaps something like a captive oarlock, if
there is enough play in the join of the two parts.
A more than usually puzzling set this week.
Now to post this and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

he "C" shaped piece will keep the puller from sliding down the post
when you attempt to get the claws to go under the wire to pull the
staple. Otherwise you would have to hammer the claws into place.
