Interesting, I would have never got that one.
Two thoughts.
One is that there is a similar type of tool use for acupuncture. You find
the acupuncture point and press the plunger. It produces a little
electricity which is supposed to stimulate the acupuncture point.
The other is the modification of a stun device to neutralize venom from a
poisonous snakes. Apparently the electricity takes the toxicity out of the
venom.

The Online Etymology Dictionary (and other sources) specify that a
'ruler' is a strip for making straight (or 'ruled') lines (parenthesis
mine)...so traditionally a 'ruler' was a straightedge, while a 'scale'
is a device with lines for measuring distance. The thing we use in
school is technically a 'scale ruler', however everyone just calls it
a ruler.

Its for putting over the cooling water inlets on an outboard motor when
trsting it out of the water.
You put a cold water hose on the side and turn on a tap. it themn
fills the water cooling chambers like when it in the waster.

One of my teachers had the habit of using the edge of a 15" ruler to hit the
knuckles of a student who had the gaul to use their left hand to write,
She also had a long brown habit which she wore every day and I don't think
it was ever washed cause it was a stinky habit.

2113 is for flushing the cooling system on outboard motors with freah
water .
Particularly if the motor as been used in salt water.
The rubber cups are installed over the water inlet on the leg of the
motor and a garden hose is screwed into the fitting and the water is
turned on ,the motor is started and run so the water pump circulates the
fresh water through the cooling water galleries to flush salt water from
the system
2115 a candle used as a clock
2116 a tool for installing automobile windscreens into the rubber
mounting on the body of the vehicle.

All I can dig up is-
rule vs ruler,
one just measures and the other is a straightedge that may measure
(not so sure),
one has the measuring marks starting at the end and the other has the
marks starting inside the edge (seems more likely).
I think 'scale' could apply to either, just meaning it is used to
translate from one scale to another (real/scale, scale 1 to scale 2)

2113. Looks like it's designed for pressurising a system by squeezing the
rubber bulb. Not sure what the metal handle is for though.
2114. Hexagonal die for some sort of game.
2115. This is an artillery fuse. You cut it with a fuse saw to the desired
length for the burn time required and light the string at the thick end.
Inside it'll be packed with some sort of combustible alcohol soaked powder
which burns at a (hopefully) given rate.

Seems like it would have a tighter seal on the motor if it was closed like
in my picture, just did a Google image search on this it, looks like almost

That was the rage about 1900. The media brought it back in 1986.
_Outdoor_ _Life_ championed the cause.
The evidence was anecdotal. A woman bitten by a copperhead was shocked
and back to work in an hour. Copperhead bites are often harmless. The
magazine noted that lab tests hadn't found that shocks helped. The
article speculated that the labs were using cheap stun guns from Japan
or Korea. It recommended a brand.

Correct, it was marked 'old gambling die', but I don't know exactly what

As I use a scale rule every day, I was very careful when I used the word
'ruler' as I knew it would be picked on whatever I called it.
If somebody could direct me to any information that disproves that 'ruler'
is as correct if not more so than both 'scale' or 'rule', I will stand
corrected. :o)

A "ruler" is that plastic or wood thing they made us buy in elementary
school, usually a foot long, with a straight edge, and calibrations,
typically in inches and fractions, and sometimes centimeters as an
afterthought. ;-)
Hope This Helps!

Nuns do knuckles, and priests do boys.
Not abuse, unless there are witnesses.

You are of course correct ( I have on at home), but I think the answer was
posted some time back.

2117 is an insect bite de-itcher. (piezo electric)
you zap the bite area and the pain overwhelms the itching feeling (for a
while)

A Google search on 'ruler' yields about 26,400,000 results, the first
page of which is all about the measuring tool.

What is it called when a Nun uses it as a weapon for cracking knuckles? :-)

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
2113) Hmm ... it goes in between two sections of garden hose,
and may serve as a pressure relief valve. If the pressure in
the hose is too high (e.g. a kink after this device), the water
sprays out between the two suction cup shaped objects. The
pressure required to do this is set mostly by the spring tension
of the loop.
2114) Looks like some kind of game piece -- rolled like a die
perhaps, or rotated to keep count of moves. Since the numbers
are not consecutive on adjacent faces, I think that it serves
the function of a die -- even with the six side -- though I
don't know what the significance of standing on end would be in
whatever game it would be used for.
2115) "5 Seconds to the inch" ... hmmm time seconds, or seconds
of angle? If the 1862 is a date, I think that the time meaning
is more likely.
In that case -- it could be a rate of sinking in a liquid. (And
presumably a liquid which would not dissolve the glue fro the
label.)
2116) I presume that the rule is there for scale, and it not one of the
things to be identified.
The bottom object, at least, looks like a screwdriver intended
to be operated from awkward angles -- to access heads of screws
which are under overhangs of some sort.
2117) Perhaps a probe for measuring resistance of a substance
(between the two terminals). Or perhaps a pushbutton, with the
two holes on the bottom serving for connection of the wire.
Perhaps intended to serve as a detonator for dynamite or similar
explosives? (Press the black button with your thumb or pull it
as a trigger with the index finger).
2118) Intended for spooling off something like brown butcher's paper
or some form of wrapping paper.
The adjustment knob on the clamping collar is perhaps to set a
certain amount of drag to prevent it from spooling off too
freely.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
