#167 is a device for bending wire. Out using the ifferent slot and pins you
can bend wire or small diameter steel rod into any variety of shapes.

It looks very similar to titanium crystals but it's something different.

Although at 4.5" inches it is longer than most sickle mower
teeth that I've seen. They also have teeth like that on combines
and this one is more likely from a combine than a mower.

163. Tooth from some kind of high-powered digging tool (e.g., coal-mine

168 is a stone sculptor's or mason's chisel. This one looks as if it is
meant for fairly coarse work or rough preliminary shaping. The teeth look a
bit longer than most such things available today, though.

169 is made by Bostitch (you can just make this word out) so likely
something to do with staples, probably for pulling them out as there does
not seem to be anywhere for a staple cartridge.

Yeah, but I bet you could buy it for half the price at Princess Auto.

Even cheaper if you paid in US dollars, not Canadian !

Hi Rob........169 is a staple puller. I've used the exact thing to
pull quite a few of the oversized staples.

I'm not 100% sure on this one, most popular guess so far is a tooth from a
sickle mower, I'll probably go with this answer unless I see evidence to the
contrary.
