Looks like some old Hubbels that we used. It is missing the asbestos
insulated leads, probably used a 1-2 KW lamp. Very inefficient beasts.

I think 2299 is a rotor for a "shucker" of some sort. Not corn -- too
short.
2300... a counting tray? Coins, pills? Load it, then tip to dump?
2301 no clue
2302 yes... an old "LeeCo" lamp? Maybe even carbon arc, considering the
size of that vent cap.
2303 Combination egg cracker and yolk separator in one tool.
2304 paper folder (maybe an envelope maker) During the world wars, mail
was often written ON the envelope paper - to save airmail weight - then
the paper was folded up and sealed with the messages hidden inside. This
looks to guide and crimp paper for a neat fold.

Shoot, I don't believe it either... the shiny "sheet metal" part looks
more important than what I took for a sight. The later is surely just
part of the adjustment mechanism...

Ah! I think the shiny sheet metal part is intended to be lined up with
the other part. Might work for some sort of sighting or surveying...

This one isn't any type of sight or survey device.

Correct, although this light was used on a TV stage.

It's not part of a shucker, and it's probably a salesman's sample so the
actual part would be larger.

I think this is correct, probably for pills.

Correct, as other people have also stated.

It's not used in this manner but it is related to paper.

It's not for leather but you're on the right track.

Stove grate is correct!

I hereby retract the word 'although' from my previous post. ;-)

How unsatisfying! ; ) Good guess Ralph.

As always, I suck at these, but enjoy trying to guess. My guesses range
from the serious to the frivolous, and I'll let you all figure out which
ones are the frivolous guesses.
2299. My first thought was that it was part of a lock mechanism, but
4-1/4" is too long for that, and there aren't any real tumblers.
2300. Mold for athletic cups.
2301. Obviously, it's a clamp. (Of course, you want to know what
exactly the clamp is used for. That, I have no idea.)
2302. I want to think that this is a lampion of some sort, with an
opening on the far side. But the stand is in the wrong place for that
2303. Squeezing the handle causes something that's been coiled up on
that small cylinder in the middle to be advanced. My first thought was
postage stamps, but I don't think that's right. And I don't know what
the catcher thing on the bottom is for.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2299) A cam to latch something by being turned by a hex wrench
on the visible head, while it pivots around the shank at
each end.
2300) Given the offset of the pan, I would suggest that this is
designed to dispense a fixed weight of some product.
You load the product into the pan, and when a sufficient
quantity is loaded in, the weight in the pan overbalances the
pendular weight and dumps the pan into a waiting container.
2301) Looks like a press for something like installing primers in
shotgun shell or something similar.
2302) A limelight perhaps? Some kind of light used in theatrical
or musical performances -- and the lack of a visible power cord
or connector suggests that it is the original one powered by
heated lime.
2303) Perhaps a lemon squeezer?
2304) I see two possibilities:
1) For heating hair to produce flat bangs.
2) For heating and ironing a fold in cloth -- perhaps prior
to stitching it.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.
