321 - An optical illusion. The dovetails run at 45 degrees to the

322 - A cobblers tool of some sort?
323 - Grease or compressed air nipple
On the rest, I'm drawing a blank...

I've never used one, but from what I understand, the handle rests against
the farrier's arm or shoulder, and it's operated by a thrust movement.
There is picture of a similar one with a different handle at the site below:

I cannot claim authority, as I have never used one. The position one has
to assume for operation doesn't appeal to me :)

hi
321 wooden puzzle with what look like impossible mortice
and tenon joints (diagonal slide gets it undone - the
joints are not tenons do not run parallel/perpendicular to
edges of cube but diagonally from middle of one face to
middle of adjacent face)
322 lever for lifting rising butt doors
323 high pressure water nozzle
324
325 looks like the adjustment mechanism from the bottom of
an ironing board
326 some form of adjustable / openable shackle
thanks

Correct, though I've heard it's for paring hooves, not sure if it's for
removing horseshoes. It's also called a butteris.

322: Some sort of tool for shoes or boots
323: Part of a gas lamp
324: Louse comb
325: Stapler
326: Pipe bender

O.K. Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking -- though I'm not to
sure about a lot of these.
321) At a guess, it is some kind of decorative puzzle. There would
appear to be at least one split in the lower piece, and probably
several, to allow each of those dovetails to slide apart.
322) Some kind of spinner -- the wedge slides into something, and
the handle allows the device to be used as a crank.
323) Some kind of torch head. I suspect that the outer holes pass fuel
(e.g. Acetylene) and the inner hole passes oxygen, to make a
cutting torch. The two steps at the other end connect to
concentric sources for the two gasses.
At a guess, this has never been used, as it shows no
discoloration from heat.
324) With no scale, I think that it is either part of a stick of
staples, or part of a contour gauge (the latter I consider
unlikely, because the ends are too neatly lined up.)
325) This looks like a gripper for large flat bottle lids, to grip
them so they can be twisted off.
326) A tool to take out slack in a binder chain?
Enjoy,
DoN.

I've watched a lot of farriers trim a lot of horse hooves, and I've never
seen one use a tool like that. Could someone who knows something about it
explain how it is used?

321. The impossible dovetail
322. No clue
323. Cutting tip, might be for propane, acety. tips have more holes
324. Beauti-brads
325. Some sort of binder.
326. Well, looks like a set of Viking's horns.
From RCM.

321. Wooden puzzle - try to figure out how to get it apart. Might be
hollow for storing treasures, in which case it would be a box puzzle.
Some of them are ingenious.
322. No idea.
323. Tip for an oxy-fuel cutting torch, probably oxy-acetylene. I'm sure
someone in RCM knows the exact brand and part number of this example.
324. A row of staples? Can't really get an idea of the size in that
photo.
325. A jar opener. The wife has one just like it in the kitchen. The
handle on the left is adjustable to fit the size of the jar lid. Place
the it over the lid, squeeze the handle to tighten, and you can apply more
torque to the stuck lid.
326. Not sure. Maybe a cousin to the above, for REALLY stuck jar lids? ;-)

Cutting torch tip for acetylene. The outer holes have the heater
flame (mixed gas) and the inner jet is the separately controlled
cutting oxygen.
Heater jets are wrong for oxy-propane. Oxy-propane nozzles have more
and smaller holes, are generally dismantlable for cleaning and their
outer sleeve is often brass.
