2161:The ubiquitous 'bent nail'. Also part of a bar puzzle.
2162:: The construction looks very much like a PA or speaker cabinet,
so I'm going to guess that its something for a musical instrument.
Maybe a storage/carrying case for parts of a drum kit? All the optics
stuff laying around it tells me I'm probably wrong, though.
2163:: A flower press
2164:: A device a doctor uses to check the nerve conductivity in your
muscles. He touches the device to your arm, and it sends a very mild
current between the ends, of which the transit time is measured to see
if you have nerve damage between the points.
2165:: That would be a very dull axe, or maybe something for chipping
out ice blocks.
2166:: It held a flat razor?
Now lets see if any of my wild guesses were even close to the mark...

2166 is interesting. Looks like it has a curved 'holder' running the
length, and I can imagine a rod-shaped handle that allows it to be
twisted, however it releases when the rod is twisted the other way.
Maybe it is some sort of hair curler, or maybe something for coiling
up film or something. Not sure what the little thumb-lever is on the
right side.

Good answer.

These were in a glass case so I didn't have a chance to handle them, seems
like they would be a little heavy for curlers but I guess you never know.

No, it's not a flesh plug, whatever that is, I'm having lunch right now so I
decided to pass on the link since it doesn't sound very good.

That's the latch, the teeth allow it to be closed tight with different
thicknesses inside the press.

Still no answer for this one, I'm expecting to hear back from the museum on
Monday or Tuesday, 2166 was part of a display that was loaned to the museum
by a local tool collector, I'm hoping that he will be able to identify it.
The rest of them were all answered correctly this week:

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2161) Hmm ... a cut nail, bent into a loop, polished, and apparently
chrome plated. The size is about right for shower curtain
rings, but they would have to be slipped on over the end of the
rod.
I would guess that it is a hook for hanging something, but not
sure why a cut nail was the starting point.
2162) The size looks about right for the top two bins to hold 45-RPM
records, and the bottom shelf -- might hold a few selected ones.
This would make it useful for a traveling DJ's setup rig, back
in the days that dances were handled by records, not CDs or
iPods loaded with selected songs.
However, the things nearby look more like explorer's gear. A
folding sighting compass to the left and a case for binoculars
(with part of the binoculars visible) to the right of the case
in question. Not sure what the foreground leather case might
hold. Perhaps a holster for a firearm -- or a machete?
2163) Usually, I would expect something like this to be hollowed out
to hold some kind of measuring instrument or something of the
like.
However, the strange hinges, plus the interesting latch suggest
that it is a press to hold something flat-- perhaps leaves or
something similar. The hinges could spring to accommodate
greater thickness, and the latch will hold at a fairly wide
range of thicknesses.
2164) This looks like some sort of probe for measuring resistance,
perhaps to measure moisture content, such as in the ground. The
connector is a twistlock one which *could* have been used for
power, but is an uncommon one -- perhaps to prevent someone from
plugging it into the wall, as it would be rather dangerous.
It looks as though there is a pushbutton to apply power only
when the button is pressed, which might suggest fairly high
voltage anyway -- from whatever portable measuring instrument
was used with it.
2165) Looks as though it is normally mounted on a pivot and hit with
a hammer. Given how blunt the edge is, I suspect that it was
intended to be used to break something brittle like slate or
stone.
2166) Well ... "Realistic" was a brand for Radio Shack audio gear,
but the 2 cents price at the bottom suggests that it predates
Radio Shack.
It looks as though it unfolds, and locks onto other similar
things, perhaps to make a tabletop camera tripod -- but I would
really like to see an view of it unfolded (unlikely, given that
they live in a museum. :-)
Now to send this off and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Far too pretty a wood veneer on the top to be used for such a
work-a-day function.
