2288 - looks like a (sheet metal) sinking stump, without the stump. <g> I
never saw one made out of metal itself, but it sure looks like a form for
sinking.
Sinking stumps usually are just...stumps.

2287 - A tool for indenting mortar seams of brick or stone walls?
2290 - A round square. *One summer, between semesters of school, I
worked as a welder's helper (green/naive) on a pipeline job. One day,
my (seasoned) welder boss sent me to the tool shed for a round
square. I went to fetch one.

Has to be used for ripping leather or suede, then.

Good guess! .... Or a tool related to making the fishing net (gill
net). A tool to help tie a knot in the net and/or the wedge piece
helps guage/measure the size of some aspect of the netting's holes.

OK, I understand what the tool is for. I have repaired countless
(bicycle) innertubes, and know that I scuff the tube before applying
the glue and the patch. What's the purpose of "rolling over the patch
with [the] spur"?
Thanks.

This one is hard to guess so I'll give a hint, it's weapon related.

Correct, but also for other uses.

Nope, these are food related, but not for food preparation and not for in
the home.

Yes, in the catalog it was called a gauge saw.

They aren't for use in a slaughterhouse but you're in the right ballpark,
they weren't used on a farm.

Good answer! You are correct, it's a tire repair scraper.

The spur supposedly has two purposes, when held at a 45 degree angle it can
be used to scrape the tire, and when held perpendicular to the surface it
can "serve as a roller to roll the patch down on the tire", see line 55 and
Fig. 4 in the patent at the link below:

I haven't seen a roller used to scrape, but service stations used to use
them to make sure a patch was stuck down. They may be called stitchers.

How about processing fish? Before metal gloves, it would have been wise
to use a tool to hold a fish without getting one's fingers near the
blade of the knife. Perhaps a tool like these could slip under a gill
to hold a fish on a table to slice from the head toward the tail.

You're right about them being used on fish, although as I stated earlier it
would be very hard to guess their exact purpose, unless maybe you were an
unscrupulous fish salesman. They were actually used to make cuts in lean
fish which would cause them to swell so they could sell for a higher price.

It's to push down really hard to get a good bond between the tire and the
patch.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2287) Looks like tools to force something into grooves,
perhaps caulking for wooden ships hulls or something
similar.
2288) Looks like a rest for a decorative ball or globe on
a fencepost.
A rather large fencepost, given the 8" diameter.
2289) At a guess -- some sort of drafting tool, based
on the plastic grid scale below it.
It looks like it is intended to be gripped by three fingers
in a fist.
Hmmm .... perhaps for cleaning erasure dust and the like out of
grooves in a drafting machine?
2290) This is a vise for holding a picture frame (or something
similar) in position while the glue dries.
The yellow spool contains steel tape, which is paid out to allow
the four corners to expand to fit the frame in questions.
The clamp is tightened, and then the red handle is turned to
tighten the corners onto the frame.
Ideally, you should start out with the red handle unscrewed to
the maximum.
2291) Some sort of combination tool. The near end looks like a wood
file, and the far end looks like a tool for transferring marks
through a drawing into wood prior to cutting with another tool.
2292) A guide for a saw to allow it to cut precise depth grooves.
Looks like about 1-1/2" deep at the current setting (the
deepest), and can probably go down to as little as 1/4" deep or
less.
Now to post this and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
