You have one answer that is technically correct but not to descriptive.
Number 62 is as KD-495.
Its original purpose was to make the tightly wound coil in the end of a wire
cable such as a bicycle shift cable or a lawnmower throttle cable. Today it
is out of production but is highly prized by some old-time mechanics.
Corvair guys love'em. (All three of them!)

Probably not that highly prized when it comes to actually paying for one. I
was thinking of putting mine up on eBay and seeing if it sells! YNK

Like the #71, that #93 looks like a Utility company tool
for gas valve shutoff.

#92 looks like a relay contact bender.

#91 is a multi-pole relay, probably telco.

#90 is your typical ceramic or floor tile spacer.

#89 looks like a glass version of ragweed pollen. ;)

Yes, this is a tool for number 90.

Actually #90 is the relay, your numbers are off on a couple of these
but your answers are right. This relay was made by Western Electric.

Correct, but it's #91.

It's not glass, but it does look like some pollen that I've seen.

Someone just sent me a link that shows a picture of this one, it's a wrench

Thanks for the info, I wonder how highly prized it is, I only paid a dollar
for mine at the flea market.

Ah, so THAT's how those things are made.

Hey, I resemble that last crack, bubba. I adored my
1962 Corvair convertible and took it on the dirt
motocross tracks with my buddies, flying off the 3'
jumps over Mayfair Cliffs in Vista, CA ca. 1969.
I purchased it from a CA Highway Patrolman who had
put a 100lb sack of sand in the trunk (front) and
had replaced the top. It was quieter on the freeway
at 90mph than my mom's suicide-doored Continental.
