2552 I assume lots of people will recognize the spark-coil (Model T
vintage) in the base in the second picture. It produces a high voltage.
This leads me to fantasies about this being some form of decorative
light fixture, missing a gas-discharge globe/lamp on top.

All of mine are SWAGs. :)
2551 - Forge/fireplace shovel/scoop. Used with pliers,
tongs, or handle.
2552 - Butt can. Conveniently large receptacle at top,
butt falls down narrow tube and is collected at bottom.
Self extinguishing, smoke is minimized.
See http://www.eagle-mfg.com/buttcans.html
Starter coil serves as a stop-smoking aid.
2553 - Reamer, countersink.
2554 - Linkage joint
2555 - Drill Press
2556 - Waterproof storage for breaker reset tool or
documents showing line routing / distribution.

Good point, I'm going to try to find some
typical documentation that they
would contain and will post it when I do.

2555 - I was going to guess, earlier, it also looks very similar to a
hand grommet or snap press use in upholstery. The flat round plate
(base?) at the bottom is also similar to those presses and to a hand
operated button making machine. Handy Button Machine Company still
makes the button and grommet/snap presses, but none of them are
geared, as your pic shows. I have one each of a Handy button and
grommet/snap press/machine, if you would need to compare pics, I can
take a few.
Panel van. Yellow safety vest. Yellow bump cap. Clip board. Couple of stolen
road cones. No one will know. Urban camoflauge. Middle of the day. You'd be
amazed some of the things I've done, and no one seems to notice or care.

I'll probably end up doing that but I would prefer
to do it on a street with not much traffic and most
of the ones that I've seen are on busy roads.

It's trespassing, and not looked upon lightly because of the potential for
theft of wiring/devices and sabotage. When you see a power company lineman
at work somewhere, just ASK him.

I think this is probably correct, I found a Goodell Brothers patent for a
hand drill that looks similar.

There are at least a dozen of these canisters on telephone poles within 2
miles of my house, I like the theory that there are documents inside of them
since most linemen bring their own tools.

Usually they are either filters or card drops for connection to the main
cable in locations where the cables are not underground.

Thanks, sounds like a good answer though I looked at the Hubbell Power web
site and didn't find any filters or canisters, do you know if they go by
other names or where I can find the filters or card drops online?
-----
Still not sure about 2554 but I think the rest of them have been identified,
thanks again to everyone who helped answer them.

It appears to be missing the chuck, however.

I think not filters in this one, because there is no cable
visible entering it. Documentation as to what pair connects to where,
if that is a "card drop" -- that I could accept -- documentation on the
local wiring.
Enjoy,
