Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
2737) German "Potato Masher" grenade.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_24_grenade>
2738) I don't know. It sort of looks like a holder for a scalpel
blade (surgical knife), or some kind of deburring tool.
2739) First off -- it appears to be broken at the upper right-hand
corner of the photo.
It looks sort of like a tool for boring a tapered hole into
something fairly soft.
Is it magnetic? It sort of looks like either a hardened steel,
or obsidian -- though I'm not sure how the latter would be
shaped like that.
It might be some kind of penetrator from a projectile.
2740) A stool for sitting and working on something, and at a guess
from the shape of the holder part, I would think that it is
perhaps for detailed work on a horse's hoof -- still attached to
the horse.
2741) My guess is that the combination of the parts makes a microtome
(a device for slicing very thin samples for preparation of
microscope slides).
The black part is a metric micrometer head -- calibrated for
measuring and/or moving in divisions as small as 0.01mm
(0.000394").
The object to be sampled is put into the brass cylinder and
it is poured full of wax. Once it is cooled, the wax and sample
is pushed out of the cylinder and impaled on the bed of spikes in
the other end of the micrometer.
It is then adjusted to put the end of the cylinder just barely
projecting through the black disc, and sliced flush with the
disc using the blade (which looks like an old straight
"cutthroat" razor.
Then the micrometer is used to advance it just far enough to
produce a slice of the desired thickness, and then another slice
is made, and transferred to the slide (and usually place under a
cover glass on the slide.
The other part, which looks sort of like a letter 'C' with a
tail in the last photo is used to clamp it to the edge of a
workbench or table to allow safer control of the blade.
2742) Looks like a tool for applying a stamping marking to paper.
I suspect that there is an inked ribbon going over the bottom
part, and some setable numbers -- perhaps advanced by the knob
on the bottom.
Now to post and then see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
Don.
