Ivory handle needle hook? Broken tip? Looks similar to some wooden, plastic handled needle hooks.

3069 is a dispenser for .22 caliber shells. Load them in and then twist
the knob to dispense any number of shells - one at a time - from the
bottom slot.

3071 is an adjustable hole cutter for a brace-and-bit type drill. That
looks to have a much easier to use clamp than the one I had. As ever,
several of the others look horribly familiar but I've no idea what they
are.

I disagree - I think it's one of these rather than a gasket cutter.

It's a most peculiar thing. I agree it looks like a cribbage board but
not only does it have nothing like enough holes, I've never seen one
with such nice metal inlay around each hole.
These, and the pattern of the wood leads me to an obvious question: are
any of the holes electrically connected? They do look suspiciously like
4mm "banana plug" sockets.

3068 looks to be an old WECO telephone transfer relay. Not the rotary
stepper sort, but just a multi-pole double-throw type.
3069 is obviously a belt-hung 22-cal ammunition dispensor -- ostensibly for
the breech-break guys. (I have one, Savage O/U 22/.410, my original 50's
model)

3067 is obviously a scissor-style shear for flat material that can be
accessed at one free end. The thing won't fit OVER anything! No idea
what material, but it's got to be tough stuff for all that compound
leverage!

Correct, these are used for cutting gaskets. The person who sent the photo would
like to know why there is only one blade on this tool when typically gasket
cutters have two blades as seen at the link below.

3068 Seems to be an electrical relay. Probably a reversing switch.
Intended to be configured as double pole double throw. Perhaps for
controlling a motor.

The seller had claimed it was for cutting gaskets but I think you are probably
correct.

Could be, I have found a couple of gasket cutters with just one blade, so I
can't decide if it's a gasket cutter, hole cutter, or both.

A few days ago I did a search on cribbage boards and found that they all have a
lot more holes than 3070. I didn't see any with the same number of holes as the
board on my site. I do think that it's a scoreboard for some type of game but
can't say exactly which one.

I used to make temporary survey pins from 1/2" copper pipe and nails.
I'd cap a 3" piece of pipe, solder the head of a 3" nail to the cap, and
put a band of red reflective tape around the pipe.
I'd stick the nail into the ground. I could center a plumb bob over the
top, and I could sight it from a distance.
The mystery device might have served a similar purpose. The long pin
could be inserted into the ground without much resistance. The bullseye
marks might have been to sight from shorter ranges. For longer ranges,
it might have been rotated so that the solid marks would appear centered.

It seems to be laminated. Would that be to prevent warping?
I may be a little off base... but how about a board for a maitre
d'outhouse to keep reservations straight? ;)

Good thought. Maybe, more generally, a bit holder? That might help
explain why there aren't any far into the center?

Not sure if this is right but I'll send it to the owner along with the rest of
the guesses for it. I already sent him the ice pick theory and he thought the
steel might not be strong enough for that, but maybe the tool was not well made.

The fact that it's finished and laminated makes me wonder if it was
intended to be exposed to water. I can't think of a kitchen use. How
about outdoors?
The holes look big enough for .22 caliber cartridges, but I don't know
why anyone would want to lay out 24.
How about screws? If a mechanic routinely needed to remove 24, he could
see at a glance if he had them all out and if he had them all back in.
They would stay clean, and a block of wood would be more stable than a
tin can. The metal inserts would keep the heads of the screws up where
he could grasp them easily.
Perhaps the space in the middle was for a 4" piece he didn't want to
forget to put in before he reinstalled the screws!

They do look like sockets but I can't say for sure if they are or not. I took
the
photos at a tractor show back in the fall, someone was selling it at the flea
market. I don't own it so I can't take a closer look. I'm still thinking it's
some
kind of game board, probably for one that was not well know.

Everyone whoknows how to play Cribbageknows that each playeruses two
pegs to score the game (up to 121). So this board offers a place to
restthepegs before anyone has won a game, and tally-up to 10 (games).
My "track board" has holes that goes up to 8 (games), but it didn't come
to two pegs for that purpose.
It could be used for any other game too, enablinggambling perhaps where
thepublicexchange of funds may be frowned upon.
It just occurred to me, a game of Euchre is scored up to 10 points (but
the way I heard it, you're supposed to usethe four 5 cards to display
the score). I think that's to distract you while you've being cheated!
; ) Ithink I have never seen what I thought was an "honest" gameof
Euchre. It may have been played, but I can't sayas my background is too
limited.

This could be the answer, the only game score boards with 24 holes that I've
found on the web are these Euchre boards:
http://www.acornwoodproducts.com/images/euchre.jpg
They aren't the exact same configuration but this is the closest I've seen so
far. Anyone know why they would have four pegs if they are only tracking two
scores? Maybe just two extra pegs.

Rob

The euchre boards have smaller holes, and they didn't go to the trouble
of laminating the wood.
Here's a caddy for 1/4" bits.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33907
The owner bought it because it provides a tight fit. It also looks more
stable than most bit caddies.
I hate knocking over a caddy and having the bits fall out. If a 1/4"
bit fits snugly in the holes of the mystery item, I wonder if that could
be the purpose. The owner of a craft shop found a source of metal
fittings that would fit a 1/4" bit snugly, and he made stable laminated
caddies for farmers who hated having bits fall out of caddies! Well...
maybe...

Here is a link to a "track board" -- 120 or 121 holes for each player:
http://www.greathallgames.com/acards/cribbage2trkContWE1002.jpg
Here is one of the other sort:: 60 holes for each player--you make 2

Two pegs are used for each player in normal scoring because SOME PEOPLE
(everyone) has a really tough time remembering exactly where the peg
WAS, AFTER they have removed it from the board. With two pegs, one
merely removes the back peg and advances it the appropriate number of
places ahead of the peg that is in front. The peg that was in front now
becomes the back peg. This helps to keep the game more civil! I
think using two pegs makes sense for keeping track of the number of
games won for the sdame reason. Some people take their Cribbage
seriously (I had a friend who did)! It's a nice social game.

I'm sure it's a beautiful Cribbage board. That's a great way to enjoy
the fine wood. Do your rules allow you to take your opponents meld if
they miss counting them?
That rule seems to bring out the absolute "worst" in people, but reminds
me of some old, fond, humorous stories (to be honest, I don't care for
that rule myself!) ; )
If you're not using that rule, try it at your next game and see what I mean!

Thanks for the link, I had the wrong impression of a what a track board looked
like and was searching for something else.

That's makes sense, I guess you can tell that I've never played Cribbage.

I haven't seen any game boards with such big holes, with metal inserts,
or with laminated wood.
A female shopper sees a nicely finished piece of laminated wood with
bright brass inserts. The sign says, "For the man who has everything."
She asks what it's for. The shopkeeper inserts some 1/4" screwdriver
bits, inverts the board, and shows her that they won't fall out. She
gladly pays top dollar because it's aesthetically pleasing, it's not
mass produced, and it looks useful. The beat-up appearance shows that
her husband liked it.
If I had the brainstorm to make such caddies, I'd buy laminated cutting
boards to saw up. I'd buy a cribbage board as a guide for drilling.
I'd enlarge the holes I intended to use, tape over the rest, and clamp
it to my laminated board. Thus it has some resemblance to a cribbage
board and to a cutting board.
>I haven't seen any game boards with such big holes, with metal inserts,

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I did a search on bit holders and
didn't see any like the board in question. This page has some game boards with
metal inserts:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html/?_nkw=brass%20cribbage%20board
As for the larger holes, maybe whoever made the board had some extra quarter
inch metal inserts and wanted to use them. For now I'm sticking with the Euchre
board theory until some evidence comes along that points in a different
direction.
The rest of them have all been correctly identified this week:

I'm still not sure about the ice pick type item, with the tip broken off it's
hard to say for certain what it was for. I'll pass along all of the suggestions
to the owner.
Thanks everyone!

I've googled for game boards and haven't found any with two rows and an
array at each end.
If it was made from a discarded cutting board, perhaps it was to avoid
paying $556.69 for a 24-hole board that looks functionally the same.
<http://www.toolstoday.com/p-4886-24-piece-master-router-bit-set-14-inch-shank-by-amana-tool.aspx>
That would explain the pattern of the mystery item. The single rows
would be for larger routers.
The metal inserts may have been to protect the shanks from rusting after
prolonged contact with possibly damp wood.

Indeed. I have a Cribbage pegboard made from a slab of wood cut cross
section of a tree, all nicely varathaned and set up just tht way.

3067. Specifically a "Metal Lumber" cutter for cutting the metal angle
iron that is used for building warehouse style storage in combination
with 2x4's and plywood for the storage surfaces.
Typically the opposites side has a flat surface perpendicular to the
blade with an indexing pin to align the holes in the "metal lumber" so
that when you cut the material the pieces can be made the exact same
distance with out measuring.
The link shows the cutter with a piece of metal lumber on the opposites
side.

Posting in the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking -- no
matter which of the three cross-posted ones you see it in.
3067) *This* one I *know*.
It is for cutting structural angle iron to length. (Usually the
kind which has perforations along its length to bolt things to.
3068) To start with -- before going to the larger images website,
this has the look of telephone wiring.
A pity -- only the first of the images of this is on the
*larger* site. I would really have liked to see the other two
images at higher resolution -- especially the second one with
the relay contacts. O.K. I can zoom in enough. The contacts
do not look designed for either high voltage or high current.
It appears to be two relays, each of which switch the outermost
two terminals between the next two for the upper terminal and
the two nearest the middle for the lower terminal -- working
both ways in from the ends.
O.K. The three upper terminals are the connections to the relay
coils, which are the black columns above the multi-terminal
board, and below the upper terminal board. Center is probably
common to the two relays.
And the relay contacts are in the glass protective housing below.
Still likely to be either telephone, or perhaps telegraph signal
switching gear -- especially given the obvious lack of high
voltage or high current capability.
3069) Looks like a dispenser for something at least partially
cylindrical. Size is hard to judge, but it might work for
something like .38 special handgun cartridges. Likely not for
.45 Auto.
3070) No provisions for wiring on the back, so I guess that it is
a game board -- something like cribbage? Not sure whether it
has enough holes for that game -- I've never played it.
3071) I've never seen one quite like this before, but it is obviously
a circle cutter to go in a brace and bit type drill. (The
tapered square head at the top is a giveaway.)
3072) Looks like a wrench for rotating unfinished wood of say up
to 4" diameter or so -- perhaps with the bark still on.. The
spikes would not work well in metals -- nor too well with
plastics.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

No need for something running as slow as a brace-and-bit driven
one -- and easier to adjust for size if you are making a single cutout
at a time -- like to clear a piston/cylinder in a head gasket. (In a
drill press, you would want two cutters at the same radius to minimize
off-center weight vibration.)
Now -- with two cutters, you have two choices:
1) For a single hole -- either carefully adjust both cutters to
the same radius from the pivot point, or remove one of the
cutters. (If the latter was done with the one in the puzzle, it
might have been lost over the years.
2) For making a ring gasket -- adjust one for the OD and the other
for the ID. Probably best done with them on opposited sides of
the pilot. Two cuts at the same time.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Well ... the engraving in it looks like typical scrimshaw
engraving. (especially the bands at the ends of the ivory). Not sure
whether that is whale tooth ivory or elephant ivory, however.
If the round dots are copper, then it is work of the Copper
Eskimos. They tended to decorate their scrimshaw with embedded copper.
If scrimshaw, it could be intended to be purely decorative,
rather than functional.
Enjoy,
DoN.

3070 is a cribbage board minus the pegs . Many have a sliding bottom
covering a compartment to store the pegs .
