But it seems the carbide glass scoring wheel is missing from the tip -
it almost fooled me.

2647, could be any of a number of things. I'd guess a bicycle spoke
tightener. The square hole is for opening valves on acetylene tanks.
2648, posts, for outdoor fence.
2649, as a former volunteer fire fighter, I recognize this one. I won't
spoil it for our non fire fighter friends.
2650, don't know.
2651, stationary bottle opener?
2652, top of a fireplace

Glass cutter! I can see it now. But, the little wheel is missing from the
end. Of course, still doesn't explain the square hole.

What could be worse than fighting a fire with cold, wet feet? This
strap would allow a fireman to hang his hose on a ladder to dry in front
of the fire!
Some kind of side handle? To apply more force, or maybe to run the cutter in
a perfectly straight line?

Perhaps to help close a window (to remove a pane)--for the kind of
windows which had a crank???

Here are some other examples.

Had no idea they were worth so much.

Someone sent this in to find out what it was, they were using it as a door
stop, when I gave them the answer they said that they might as keep using it
for that.

Good answer, I should have known this one, I posted one a few years ago but
it was ball shaped and I didn't make the connection to these tools.

Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to the owner of these tools.

I thought it was for a gas valve when I first saw it but have since found
its real purpose.

Here is a photo of the bottom:

Had to demonstrate one during a class a month ago, seems folks think
everyone owns an aerial device....
I have used them to hang hose to dry though.....

You're correct that it's a model of a fireplace, more information on it can
be seen at the answers for this set. They have all been answered correctly
this week, check out the link below for further details and a video of how
the muzzle loader tools are used:

2647. Didn't we have one of these before where the square hole was used
to turn off a valve of some sort? I seem to recall the one posted
earlier was used by a bartender.
2651. Is the bottom flat? Does it have a signet?
No clue on the other four.

I think you are right. Here are some more similar examples:
http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=19243.0
They also seem to be called "short starters"

2647) Tool for cutting glass. Hardened roller in the pointed
corner (likely missing in the one imaged here), ball to tap
along the line made by the roller to produce a better fracture,
and three different size notches for gripping the glass
(matching the thickness of the glass) and applying force to
break the glass when close to the edge.
The square hole is likely to control the valve stem on a torch,
used perhaps to ease the breaking.
2648) These appear to be for steadying round object (likely glass
bottles) so they will not roll apart. The top two are for going
between layers of bottles (of different sizes, given the
different spacing of the notches), while the bottom-most one
goes under the bottom layer of objects, or perhaps over the top
layer if they are enclosed in a crate.
2649) For carrying (and hanging) a bundle of something like sticks, or
for lifting heavy cylinders such as perhaps rolls of metal for
machining in a machine shop.
2650) Tools to perhaps form pills, or to detonate percussion caps.
Not commercial, given the materials.
2651) Looks like a curtain pull, except too large and heavy. Perhaps
for theatrical curtains?
2652) The fipple for a very low pitched pipe (flute without holes to
select alternate notes)-- designed so it can be opened up and
cleaned out. Missing is the edge against which the air (or
steam) stream is directed -- likely a part of the main horn.
At a guess -- it is for something like a foghorn, and the
cleaning is likely needed because of birds building their nests
in the horn.
It looks like it is die cast of aluminum or zinc (or pot metal,
which is mostly zinc).
Now to post and then see what other have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Well -- these are antique and "collector's items", so you have
to expect high prices -- especially from a dealer in the sort. :-)
Enjoy,
