Jeez, so sorry for my misinterpretation of what I used to have to repair
when I was farming
The sprocket had teeth which were about 1" square at the tip and about 2 "
deep

#2088 A section of manure spreader chain. A wooden bar attaches
to the bar and stretches across the bed of the spreader to a
similar chain on the far side. Movement of both chains towards
the rear slowly empties the contents into the spreader tines.
Could also be from a binder (antique machine used to bind oats for
shocking).

You do bring back memories.
The local Amish used horse drawn "binders" to shock wheat and oats.
Also, my dad was an over the road truck driver for many years (This
was before diesel became popular).
The fleet was mainly International Harvester trucks commonly referred
to as "Binders".

Spotted 2088 right away . . . . great familiarity with bale elevator,
and unwanted familiarity with "table chain" in a manure spreader,
especially in winter when the *&^%$%$#@ chain breaks and you have to
unload the spreader the old-fashioned way, with a fork!

Where did you get the stainless steel ones? Sound better than

Indeed. I bound, shocked and threshed oats every summer from 1966 to 1978.
On our farm, we bound the oats and shocked them immediately (capping the
shock if rain were expected). A week later, hauled the thresher to the
center of the field and started threshing. Next week at the neighbors
farm.

2084 after seeing other answers and making that tiny picture big, I can

I was around farms growing up, so I know what you mean. My
grandparents had a working farm, and some friends of our moved to a
small farm that we visited fairly often.

Pretty much what I was thinking, some type of quick disconnect for two
pieces of rope, don't know if it was for any particular activity, maybe
sailing.

Yes, a section of chain that could have been used for conveyor belts or farm
machinery.

Just a guess, but 2083 looks suspiciously like the dart quiver that came
with my brothers blowgun.
His was from New Guinea though and did not have the ornate doodad on the

Looking at the design, when it's apart you can slip a loop of rope into each
of the two holes without untying them or taking off anything connected to
them. It could therefore be used for connecting things like floats to
lobster pots, joining camping equipment ropes etc. Orsa in Sweden appears to
be a sailing, fishing, camping type area so I guess the application is in
one of those areas.

Well, only indirectly to the other chain(s)....it connects to one end of
an intervening slat across the platform and the other end of the slat
connects to the mirror image link on the other side. Wide platforms may
have had one (or more) double-ended drag links in the middle and two or
more slats/row.
We had several home-built elevators for various purposes of the type as
well as the manufactured ones. One particularly useful was large enough
to take a full load of ensilage from the truck in one dump and feed it
into the hopper of the ensilage blower so the truck could head back to
the field w/o quickly to keep the chopper going...

Good answer, it is a blow dart quiver, the thing on the side is for
attaching it to your belt.

Or any number of other uses...and, of course, the drag slats weren't
necessarily wood altho often were.
Mentioned a home-built drag elevator upthread which used angle iron for
the drag slats, many commercial feed wagons or similar had similarly
shaped iron slats owing to larger sizes/loads.
And, binders were used for binding any crop from cereal grains or grain
sorghum for taking to a stationary thresher to feed crops such as sudan
or similar for use as feed that could be taken to a stationary chopper
for dry feed or as silage. For later/winter use, often bundles were
stacked on end in the field in "shocks". (As a kid pulling 7-8ft tall
bundles out of a shock in mid-winter w/ the snow blowin' in our sandy
ground was not a chore looked forward to... :( )

It looks like a repair link for chain to me. And Orsa is a chain

A snap ring tool?
The two pins inside the curved part appear to be manipulated by the two
rings. Place this over some object with holes that line up with the pins
and either contract or expand it.

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
2083) Interesting -- -- given its proximity to the more modern
device in the display case, I will guess that it is an
illumination source used by a medical professional of some sort.
2084) Hmm ... the blue part is designed to be bolted/screwed to some
surface, based on the counterbored hole under the second
slider.
The 11" length matches a common page dimension.
I suspect that it is a snap-in holder for documentation of some
form, such as computer manuals or frequently updated catalogs
used in places like photo stores and auto parts stores.
2085) This looks like a link to join chain segments, or perhaps
for rigging on a sailboat. Slide the parts apart and there is a
clear path to the eye on each end.
2086) Hmm ... perhaps a base for a music stand or dictionary stand?
2087) Perhaps a locking ring for joining a cylindrical container and
its lid?
2088) A chain designed to roll around a cylindrical surface (a drum of
some sort).
the link with the strap to the side locks it to the surface of
the drum.
When there is no load on it, you can easily disconnect links
from each other, or add more links (if you have more than the
three shown).
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
