Half right, it's a nail but the grooves are probably to help it penetrate
concrete. These are also supposedly made of harder steel than regular
nails.

The best advise I've heard to avoid having to kill a snake if you are
bitten, is to know what type of snakes are in the area so you can identify
them by sight.
The knife is used to make an X incision at the fang mark, the sunction cups
are then applied to suck out the venom along with lymph fluid, with which
the body tissues dilute the venom. Either later on tonight or tomorrow I'll
post a link to several photos of some of the instructions that came with
this kit.

All correct except for the inclusion of the word notary, as you have
probably read in other replies.

Clearly to avoid the debacle of attempting to capture the snake and getting
bitten again. Use the knife to fatally wound the snake as it glides away, then
the medical team can track it by the trail of blood and find out what bit you.
Of course this is superfluous in Norway where you get only one venomous snake.
In this instance the knife is purely for revenge.

They are old and go against "modern" snake bite treatment.
you use the vial as an antiseptic, cut across the bite marks and then use the
case to "suck" out the venom.

That's interesting. I've got some of these in the shop (the former owner
left them). What struck me as different about them is that they feel very
"light". Guess I'll have to try pounding some into conrete and see what
happens.

We have many snakes that will kill you and so do the gents down under. You
can tell by looking at how the skin is "woven" at the bottom side of the
tail as to whether it is posionouds or not.
Poisonous snakes skin scales on the bottom side of the tail are in a Single
row and their eye pupils are eliptical.
Non poisonous snakes skin scakes on the bottom side of the tail are in a
Double row and the eye pupils are round.
Here are some that are found in Texas.

I think the rule is that a triangular head and a "pit" below the eye
marks a poisonous snake...hence the term "pit viper" for a poisonous
snake. In another life, I used to handle prairie rattlers quite a bit.

On second thought this is probably correct. It was marked as being a spoke
cutter, which is probably similar enough to a tennon cutter to be deemed
right.

To cut between the punctures before sucking the poison out. Some
of the kits had an outer rubber case which could double as a
suction device, but the Mark I mouth was generally more effective.
Just make sure and spit it out. Of course, this was pre-HIV, you'll
get a mouthful of blood too.

These are all correct. Several people have correctly named the masonry

Depends on the year and the state. I have documents that have the round
embosser by a notary - some states don't like them because of zerox machines
and changing a document physically. Most have gone to ink pads.
Texas in the 80's and before if not now.
I have an embosser for my private books.

Parting-off tool, not cutting. The blade is very tall and narrow,
with a slight taper downwards so that it doesn't bind.

O.K. I managed to hit your list announcement *before* seeing
anybody's answers first, so I'll have a try at all of them before I read
on.
And since I asked about stats of where the answers come from,
I'll state that I am reading and replying in rec.crafts.metalworking.
260) Not really sure. It bayonets onto a shaft, which may rotate
(CW only) or may also reciprocate as well (or only).
At a first guess, it is either the cutter bar from some kind of
nibbler, or is used to tie string or cord around something.
261) A paper stamp -- for either pressing a notary's seal into a
document being certified, or as an "ex libris" kind of stamp for
books. Perhaps private, perhaps a library. To tell, we would
need to stamp it into a blank sheet of paper and examine what ws
produced. It uses no ink, and works by adding visible texture
to the paper. (Hard to alter a signature over which it has been
operated.)
262) Possibly used for scooping dry chemicals and shaking little
amounts into the pan of a balance (usually on a piece of filter
paper) to measure out a precise amount.
Maybe a "spoon" for melting wax to seal accordion reed plates to
the reedboxes.
Maybe a device for guiding the gasket over a replacement
windshield.
263) A snake-bite kit.
264) A concrete nail.
265) A lathe toolholder for a parting tool. It fits into a
so-called "lantern style" toolpost. The parting blade is placed
in the groove on the side, and held by the half-round headed
bolt drawn in by the nut on the other side.
It looks as though it was made by Armstrong -- one of the
long-time makers of such holders.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Correct, the antiseptic is applied to the knife and fang marks before
cutting.
I think I like the modern version better than the suction cups.

If this is correct, you Americans (and Australians) have an edge over
us Europeans. Snake bites are not uncommon, but I have never heard of
such kits and I don't think that our kind of venomous snake bites
can be healed by such kits. (There is this story of an American
tourist in Norway who slept out in Oslo during a hot summer day.
Suddenly he woke discovering a snake on his body. His shock scared
the snake who stroke and bit the tourist. Being an enlightened
American, he immediately tried to catch the snake so that the first
aid team could invoke correct treatment given what kind of poison this
particular snake used. A short fight followed during which our
tourist was bit by the snake once more. But he managed to kill it,
took it with him and called for help. Down at the hospital (with
pains) he showed the snake. Startled nurses and doctors stared at the
snake. He explained, but got the answer "We have only one venomous
serpent in Norway, the viper." (Anyway, painful as its poison is, it
is not deadly.))

The kit in my photo is one in which the outer case is supposed to used for
suction, but the rubber has hardened and cracked. The smaller rubber piece
could be used on fingers or other small surface areas.

I'll put a photo of an embossed sheet of paper in the answer page to this

The last three are correct.

Neither of these is correct.

I suppose it could be used for that, but that's not what I was looking for.

challenging, hopefully I'll have some luck finding some interesting stuff at
the flea market tomorrow.

I think I posted this set too early in the morning, I made a typo in the
title and forgot to mention that answers were also posted for the previous
set.
And since a number of people have already replied correctly on number 263, I
added a page in which I've provided a little more info on the snake bite
kit, including photos of some of the instructions:
