Yes, it has a line clipper, a needle to clear a hook eyelet, a hook
sharpener, and a knot tying tool.

I'm curious. Would tortillas need a 30" pan?
If it wasn't for tortillas, I wonder if it was for stir frying. I
wonder what it's made of.

Made here? I know that might be a shocker, but we used to make stuff like
this in the USA.

I've never heard of clearing a hook eyelet with a needle, and this
needle looks needlessly long. When fishing, I'd use a pocket knife to
cut line.

The tool would allow one to poke or snip without hazard to a rubber
raft. I wonder if it was a survival tool that surplus stores later sold
for fishing. A downed airman with a torn nail would want a clipper.
The needle could be to poke holes in something for lacing or sewing.

About two clicks down the page. You're looking for "nippers". The "simple"
Orvis version is the last one on the page. But for $12.95 ...

And a lot of stuff just said USA.

Far as I know the military never issued fly fishing nippers and that's what
this item is.

Live and learn! Needles to clean out eyelets! Are these tools for the
desk and not the brook?

"USA" with no "made in" or brand name makes me think this was a GI
version of the fisherman's tool.

http://www.lightninghawkmilitaria.com/c-1-page-1.html

Here's a layout of the gear in a C-1 Survival Vest. One item is a
fishing/sewing kit. I doubt downed airmen tied flies, but a fisherman's
tool may have been provided for various uses, including clipping torn
nails and removing shrapnel or splinters.

If you use lacquer to finish the heads of your fishing flies (economy
flies omit this step, and they fall apart), then you'll be glad to have
something to clear the eyelet. I barbarically often use another hook.

Handiest thing to have in your pocket is a finger nail clipper for
clipping fishing line. First read that in "Taps' Tips" in Field and
Stream magazine in the 70's. You can cut close to the eyelet very
easily---WAYYY better than with a pocket knife, where somehow you'd have
to get a hold of the short end I suppose. Same goes for cutting close
to a blood knot. It's hard to imagine doing that with a pocket knife. A
lit match will help in a pinch. A pocket knife would be handy for
marking wood, say to preserve the length of your catch before you
released it.

How do you live with the shame? One hopes it is at least a barbless hook!

Hmm ... a tool for disarming (or perhaps arming) something like
mines?

> 15. Someone found this hat at an estate sale:

Either antique ceremonial garb from some other culture, or
perhaps similar from some fraternal organization here in the USA?

Toothpaste tube squeezer -- put the narrow end through the top
slot, thread it through the key, and wind up the tube as you use the
toothpaste, squeezing the toothpaste ahead of the pinch point.

Some kind of deep frying pan? I don't cook, so who knows?

In that case -- why the large "USA" markings on it? Was it Army
issue?

Yes -- but it would typically say "Made in USA", not just "USA".
However, lots of things which I was issued by the army, including pocket
knives, were stamped "USA" in relatively large letters (or sometimes
just "US"). And I was just a civilian technician employed at an Army
R&D lab.

Enjoy,
