I think it might be for a rubber seal, as around a window; it doesn't
look like it's for marine use.

2210. This looks like one of the old time dumbbells used by the strongmen
of early 1900's. Except it is too big and heavy! I wouldn't want to mess
with anybody who could lift that thing.
Maybe it is a stunt piece or something like this. I know that many of these
weights were hollow. That way they could travel with them and fill them
with sand or whatever. Perhaps the weight listed is the full weight and not
the hollow weight. If so, the weight would be much less if hollow.
Or something else completely unrelated.

I knew it looked like one of the old strongman props.. I just did not know
about this one. I used to know a strongman who worked vaudeville and
circuses in the early 1900's He had lots of pictures and some of the old
equipment laying around. Very colorful character. He also had the "globe"
barbells. His were chrome plated. Lots of thick, smooth handles on this
stuff. That way when challenged, almost nobody had the hand strength to
lift the item. The strongmen knew this and trained for grip strength. It
never occurred to me that it was a dumbbell for hip or back lifts. Which
meant it only moved a few inches at the most. Probably only two or three
inches.
Thanks for posting that! It brought back some interesting memories.

FWIW, item 2211 bears a resemblance to a surgical instrument called an
"orbitoclast", used to perform lobotomies through the eye socket.

I think it's a gimlet style reeding tool, for forcing in the retainer
reeds in cane-seat chairs.

2210 - Double barrel wrecking ball(s)? I don't have a clue, but I'm
also thinking some sort of heavy duty wheel-axil assembly, possibly
for helping align some machinery chassis, during chassis
construction. Far fetched - A spacer, for assembling of train wheel/
axil pairs to be parallel to one another.
The center section is missing its grease zerk. LOL

Seriously, I might expect maybe to thread rope around it--to form the
support end of of a tackle and pulley (reverse) hoist of some sort.
Sorry if I've abused terminology with which I am not that familiar.

Something makes me think 2214 is "spring-loaded"--for maybe a roll-top
desk, or maybe heavier duty. Notice that you may be able to "wind it
up, and fit it into place"--much like a torsion-spring for a garage door
(still for sale, btw)! ; )

Replying to my own post--well, it only goes around 180 degrees max. But
I still think this is on the right track.

2210 How about a chocked roller holding a chain or cable to hold open
a gate that may need to be lowered in an emergency. The gate could be
for water, fire, security, or defense.
If the gate weighs considerably less than 1500 pounds, one watchman
could remove the chocks. The inertia of the roller would slow the
initial descent of the gate, giving people below more warning than a
free fall.

It isn't part of a roll-top desk, it's a reproduction of a device from the
16th century.

2210 - I like that better than my first idea. A counterweight rolling
on an inclined plane in greased tracks. If the weight is 1500 pounds
and the thing to be lifted (perhaps a gate) weighs 500, it will balance
with an incline of 19.5 degrees. You need only to overcome friction to
raise or lower the gate.
I imagine it would roll in greased grooves and the cable would be
attached to a greased fitting over the red bulge. The hole might be for
automatic lubrication.
I see several advantages compared to a hanging counterweight.
1. It's out of the way.
2. Behind the normal range of motion, the tracks could curve up to
arrest the motion of the weight instead of letting it crash into
anything if the cable breaks.
3. The cable would bend 110 degrees instead of 180, meaning, with a
given pulley diameter, less friction loss, less cable wear, and less
strain on the pulley.
4. More inertia than a 500-pound hanging weight, so that it will move
slowly and if the worker gets the gate moving, it will tend to open or
close all the way.
5. Easier and safer to service than a hanging weight.
If it was attached to a fire escape and slightly overbalanced the weight
of the ladder, the ladder would swing down fairly slowly when somebody
descended. A "dip" at the top of the inclined plane would hold the
counterweight so that once down, the ladder would stay down.

2210 - Without a cable, it could be a shifting weight for a seesaw
system weighing several tons perhaps a ramp.
Suppose it takes 50 foot-tons to lift the ramp and when the ramp is
down, the fixed counterweight supplies 45. If the rolling weight is 2
feet from the pivot, it will supply 1.5 foot-tons, so 3.5 foot-tons (50
- 46.5) will hold the ramp securely down.
Suppose the rolling weight is on tracks that are inclined slightly
toward the pivot. When you start to lift the ramp, the tracks tilt
slightly away from the pivot. If the weight rolls 8 feet, it will be 10
feet from the pivot and supply 7.5 foot-tons, for a total of 52.5. Now
2.5 foot-tons will lift the ramp and hold it securely up.

One of my friends sent me this photo of a wagon pin that is about the same
size and shape, it's probably for hold the back gate flap up:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/harnett65/Album%2012/pic2211c.jpg
It's the closest that I've seen for 2211, don't know if the railroads ever
used pins for a similar purpose or not.

Pins for pickup-truck tailgates are on chains so they don't get lost.
2211 lacks a loop to fasten a cord or chain. Why would a wagon pin need
a sort of screwdriver tip and a head that's a bit like a claw hammer?
What about rattan? It's very durable if maintained, but how do you
weave in a replacement strand of rigid material?
I'd soak the furniture or basket and the replacement strand. Where the
replacement had to pass under a strand, I'd pry the strand with the flat
tip until I could get the hooked corner of the head under it. Using my
index finger to hold the strand on the hook, I'd roll the tool like a
claw hammer, lifting the strand until I could slide the replacement
under it.

Great guess! This is correct. It actually weighs 1650 pound hollow and
more than double that when filled with sand, they would lift it off the
ground using a harness.
Still not sure about the two unidentified items but the rest of the answers
can be seen at the link below, along with a video of a really cool tool box.

Sounds like that would work, though I did a search and didn't see any
similar rattan tools. I think the wagon pin idea is just an outside
possibility and posted it because it's the closest that I've seen to 2211.
Hopefully someone will provide an answer for it sooner or later.

It does kind of look like one, except the point doesn't appear to be sharp

I just posted all eight of the guesses for this tool, and did some searching
but didn't find proof for any of them.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
2209a,b,c) Looks like a tool for moving part of a wood stove
or perhaps shaking the grate to clean it out in a
coal-fired furnace.
2210) Looks like as serious weight lifting barbell -- except
that the center bar seems too short to allow the lifter
to get both hands on it at the same time, and at that weight,
one would hardly expect to lift it with only one hand. (But, it
is rather difficult to judge the separation of the weights from
the overall length of seven feet.
2211) This showed up before in Rec.crafts.metalworking, and I believe
that it was identified as a tool for driving oakum into the
slots between boards on a ship's hull.
2212) Some sort of crimping tool -- though not right for either
electrical or hydraulic hose crimps, so I'm not sure what it
really is. The part number sort of looks like what Ma Bell put
on tools issued to its workers.
2213) *This* one I know quite well. I used to have one. It is the
tool for adjusting the tension in bicycle spokes by turning the
nipples out at the rim. This one is missing one thing which
mine had -- the zinc anti-rust coating. Looks as though someone
found it covered by rust, and wire-brushed it to death.
2214) Not at all sure what this is -- unless it is mounted on a wall
by some hidden part, and both projections move as clock hands
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
