I just posted some more photos:
http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/
Number 95 is a bent piece of wire with a loop on each end, years ago
it was sold for a particular purpose. There was a piece of a paper
attached to it by the manufacturer that had the name of the product,
an illustration of it in use, and some other info including "many uses
around the home".
These next two belong to the owner of a local antique shop, he asked
me to try to find out what they are.
Number 97 is some type of knife, it's beveled on the bottom so that
when it's flat against a table as in the photo, the cutting edge is
about 1/16" above the table's surface.
Number 98 looks like a vase or plant holder but I don't know why there
is a large slot in the side. Also, there is a hole in the bottom of
this one.

Well, I recognize #97. I help a beekeeper out, and, that
is the knife that is used to uncap the honeycombs when
extracting the honey. It is usually heated, so as to slide
through the caps on the cells more easily.

I think I understand. I have created an account at each, but I don't
think I know why I have to have one a blogspot.

can see the uploaded photo.

Correct, it's a monkey's fist knot.

That's not the purpose it was sold for.

Correct.

It does resemble a serving knife, but it's not as wide as most that
I've seen. I'll put this on my list of possible answers.

I'll also put this one on my list of possibilities.

Yes, it's a monkey's fist knot, I put a lead musket ball in this one.

To post photos on blogspot, you need to have an image host on which to
store your photos. I use photobucket.com, it's free but since I use
it a lot and like it so much I actually sent them some money. My
photos are uploaded to this web site, then all I do is copy and paste
the photo link from photobucket to blogspot, so my pictures are hot
linked from one site to the other. That's all there is to it. Let me
know if that wasn't clear.

Thanks for solving this one for me, I found one that looks just like
it on a beekeeping retail site.

It does look like one, but it's a little too big for that.

If you just want to post photos, then all you need is photobucket, but
if you want to add text then you need a web site like blogspot or any
other free one that you like. Or you could probably put a little text
right on your photo in MS Paint if you wanted to. I'm not sure if
blogspot will act as an image host if you upgrade to a premium
account, but for the free site it's not available.

A flower pot used in the funeral buisness. It clamps to the rail of the =
casket.

#94 looks like a wife/child-beating attachment for your whip.
#95 is way too thick to be used as a garrote.
(OK, enough kidding. Now I'll get serious. ;)
#95 could be a clothes hanger extension.
#96 is an airline ice cracking hammer.
#97 looks like a pie/cake serving spatula/knife.
#98 could be the base for a tabletop carbonating machine.

It's a "Monkey's Fist". It's used to add weight to the end of a line
making it easier to throw to somebody.
