2880 - A stretch: Maybe a device for determining pulley sizes, for different ratios/speeds/turns, as per the 2 arbor sizes represented by each disc's hole.

As usual, I'm lousy at these, but I actually do have at least one
reasonable guess this week.

2876: Attaches to a rod and is used for dousing candles?
2879: Used like a caulking gun, although I can't tell exactly what it's
supposed to apply.

Actually it was inserting humor. Off topic, but I wouldn't say not
needed.

2875 - Looks like the handle of a corkscrew

2876 - Looks like a mini soap dispenser, so presumably for dispensing
something other than soap?

2879 - Rivet gun?

You're absolutely correct. There are plenty of places that I can

2875 String/cord tightener or slack eliminator. For a long curtain or
blind cord. Wedge the excess length into the two narrow slits with the
extra loop in the middle.

2876 Smudge pot. Burn smokey oil for light, heat or warning.

2879 Grease gun.

2880 Counter/accumulator. As small groups of events happen, stick a
pointy thing in a numbered hole and rotate clockwise to the stop on the
right.

2876 - smudge pot

2877 - adjustable back scratcher ?

2879 - Tire plug gun.

2880 - Some type of counter. Maybe for a turnstile type device?

The last one is correct, the patent calls it an adding machine.

That's it! It actually is a spoke wrench, so that was a good guess on this one.

I hate to tell you this but I actually don't have all the answers this week, the
folding fork tool and the drill are still unidentified, or at least unverified.
Occasionally in my opening post I don't mention if I need help or not, but I
will
try to be more consistent with that in the future.

2877 -- Guess: Looks like a small "cant hook" (for handling lumber).
The round metal part would keep you from injuring your hand.

Good job on getting that one Lloyd, the owner said he took a closer look at the
