I have to disagree. 2325 has -round- bottoms to the 'holes'. Anything to
hold ink bottles would have a _flat_ bottom.
Also, 3" diameter would be an awfully -large- ink container. All the "India
ink" bottles I've used have been somewhere around 1-3/4" dia. (don't have one
at hand to measure, might have been as big as 2" :))

As always, I'm not very good at these things.
2323: Badly-designed sawhorse
2324: Vise (I presume you want to know what specifically would be
clamped in this vise)
2327: Helmet for when the Shriners can't get regular traffic diverted
2328: I presume the panel in the middle opens? And I presume that

Perhaps we can just call it a catch-all, and leave it at that. The two
"cups" to the right suggest an insert I've seen in a Craftsman magazine
plan for a "Mans Dressing Chest."
To quote the text (which doesn't match the illustration...), "The small
upper drawer at the right, (sic) is fitted, like a change-drawer, with
six saucer-like divisions for shirt, collar, and sleeve buttons, and
other small objects which are easily lost."

Why, this would be like one o' them weather ropes: if it's wet, it's
raining... if it's standing straight out parallel to the ground, the
wind's blowing...
With this metal thingie, if that flap is parallel to the ground, you
know you're driving that Model T way too damn fast!
2325. Wooden swage block. You can see something similar on this web
page if you scroll down some:
http://www.manchesterminerals.co.uk/acatalog/Doming_Black_and_Punches.html
They have two separate items but whoever made this one, combined them
into one block. I have one in metal that is similar to this one.
Wooden ones are used by jewelers, coppersmiths, etc. whereas the metal
one I have is used for blacksmithing.

Oops. Didn't look at the larger image and see the large holes were
hemispheres.
I was thinking of Higgins drawing ink by the way. I swear the glass
bottles were bigger than the Plastic ones on Amazon but I was around 5
when I started using them so maybe they just looked big.

It don't believe it either. What's the point of the swinging part?
I've seen many pictures of Model Ts and never saw this on the radiator.
They either had a screw cap to add water or a gauge with wings to
measure the water pressure.

This one is correct
Note that old cable spools were often used as saw horses. We had several
when I was a kid. They were thrown off ships after the steel cable or rope
was used up.

2323 sawhorse, for cutting logs for firewood.
2324 cork inserter, for wine bottles
2325 just guessing, coin tray for making change at a news
stand
2326 maybe wall hanger for coat and umbrella?
2327 upside down -- it's a water bucket that is designed to
hang from a hook. These were found in stores, years ago.
When my father was a boy, he was responsible to keep these
maintained. Filled, cleaned. They were used "in case of
fire". The round bottom helps insure that they are kept on
the hook, where they belong. Note: While copper sulphate
helps prevent mold and mildew, it must not be used in zinc
coated fire pails. Turns the zinc black, and is a PIA to
clean out. Dad told me this many times, over the years.

Wine bottle corker is correct, this one is a floor model,
they also make
bench corkers which are made for use on benches or tables.

That was my guess, I asked the owner if they had checked to see if coins
fit, here is the reply:
"Dimes fit the narrowest slot, nickles in the next, quarters in the next,
and not sure about the big slot."
Don't know if Canadian or British coins would be a better match for it. My
second guess for it is that it could be a cigar rolling tray.

Mine has two handles, you press down on it, somewhat
remniscent of performing CPR. Might be a design you've not
seen.

2323: log cutting sawhorse? Thing in middle appears to be a tool-holder.

Absolutely. I have one very similar to it in my basement.
2325 looks like it could be used as a desk drawer organizer: pens and pencils
in the grooves, paper clips and thumb tacks in the bowls. Don't know if that
was its intended use, though...

Yes, though it seems there should be a slot for pennies if it was for U.S.
coins. With several reasonable suggestions, looks like this one might go
unanswered unless we find another one like it.

It seems to me that coins in the grooves would fall over. To make
change, I'd want a holder with the grooves sloped and the bowls level.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2323) A saw buck -- for supporting logs while they are sawn.
2324) Interesting beastie.
It looks like it is intended to hold grease cartridges, and
dispense it on strokes of the pump. I can't see where the
grease exits it, however. The disc and spring on the rod
advance with each stroke of the handle, pushing the grease out
the top of the cartridge and into -- where?
Perhaps it is incomplete, and with parts not shown is for
pumping new grease into a bearing assembly, forcing out the old
grease.
2325) Lacking anything specific, I would consider it to be a desktop
organizer. The bowls would hold paper clips and the like, the
grooves for pencils, pens, rulers and whatever.
2326) Looks like something to hold a half-round tubing which is pressed
in from the upper left, and when it is withdrawn (hollow side
down) it will be clamped.
But -- if it is intended to be mounted on a vertical surface
instead, it might be for gripping a horse's reins when "parking"
the horse. :-)
2327) Well ... it appears to be an upside down bucket, with a domed
bottom. I'm not sure what the purpose of the domed bottom is.
2328) Looks somewhat like a garage door opener remote, designed to
clip on the car's visors.
Now to post this and see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,

Well ... half dollar and the old Silver Dollar coins are pretty
uncommon these days and it could have been one or the other (without
bothering to check the measurements of either.)

Hmm ... for 2326 -- did the Model T have a speedometer? If not,
the airflow could lift the flap proportional to the speed, so you could
get a rough idea of speed from it.
As for 2327 -- that explains the remains of red paint visible
on it.
