3096 - Don't know if I've ever seen one, but my guess would be some sort of steam whistle.

I wonder if the shiny one, at least, is some sort of ground anchor for
setting into concrete and putting a removable post into. The various
shapes and ends of the pipes are just to ensure a good embedding into
the concrete.

Posting from my desk top PC in the living room
as always.
3091, hammer for very wide nails.
3092, carpet stretcher
3093, clamp on handle for a pier, over water.
Makes it easier for swimmers to climb out.
3094, part of an egg whisk, but missing some parts.
3095, an early crank door bell. The crank is missing.
3096, sampler for bags of merchandise like wheat or
grain. Allows the inspector to puncture, and take a
few grains for testing.
And, you did it again. I've totally no clue what
any of these are.

Just in the last couple of weeks they were doing some veneering on TV...
using a very similar tool... think it was that 'Woodwright Shop' show
with the guy who uses all the old traditional hand tools and manual
equipment. Interesting show really, much better than 97% of the
televised garbage these days.
Wow, has it been ten years now? Thanks Rob, your posts are one of the
things I look forward to every Thursday.

It's hard to believe I've been following "What is it?" for so long.

Could 3096 have something to do with wire display shelving, or rotating racks?
I know I've seen them somewhere but can't place them.

It looked familiar and I remembered learning from the answer the
concept of moving things around with a claw, but I ultimately did
a Google image search to find precisely when I first saw it.

You've got a whole bunch of folks who thought the same (or at least me and
Steve and you). The very FIRST thought I had was that it was a milking
claw, but I could not find one like it, either.

You nailed it. I've started to occasionally repost some of the older items, I
guess it's good as a memory test and I think a lot of people probably haven't
seen all of the older posts. Also it's easier for me to repost than it is to
sort
through hundreds of photos and then process them into usable form.

I just did some more searching on these but they are still a mystery. The owner
thought they might be marine or fishing related. I think the angled cuts are for
attaching tubing, but that's just a guess.

That's what I thought (maybe for some sort of irrigation system), but why
would the main tubes not be angled too?

I've shown 3096 to several tool collectors and they think they might be for some
kind of milking setup, but I've done some searching and couldn't find any like
them. I think we'll get an answer for these in the near future.
The rest of this set have been correctly identified:

I was thinking the same thing. It looks like a claw, but not sure which
brand.
Here is one similar to the shiny one.

Darn it!
3093
I knew I saw one somewhere, but couldn't remember where or when.
In 1960-61 I worked as a part time mechanic for a small local trucking
company. I watched this being used to fix truck tire flats with the
torch heated vulcanizing patches on the inside of the tire held with
this clamp, even used it once.

They're not water "throwers" from an irrigation system?

I'm too late to post my usual guesses, but I see that you did
not find one for (3096) as of the time you posted the answers, so I'll
suggest that these could be variants on police deployed tire puncturing
devices -- strung on a steel cable and stretched across the street. The
hollow all the way through would let the air out quickly from the angled
puncture projections, and on the bright one, the right angle metal
pieces would present the points at an angle to better get a tire. I'm
to sure about the bottom (rusted) one, but there may vhabee been
something else which went with it to present the points at an angle.
Enjoy,
DoN.
