Not likely rope. Line, maybe, but not rope.
Rope, being made of steel, is a bit hard to sew.

Careful there, context is everything. The cord sewn around the
perimeter of a sail is a bolt *rope*.

My thoughts:
1705 - Smallish grabber/pincher of some manner; this one would seem to
be used for handling hot or otherwise somewhat dangerous items, rather
than ease in handling big or heavy items. The jaws seem suited for
pinching the sides of a (somewhat deformable?) item, rather than
encircling something. Maybe it's intended to rearrange hot coals or
similar?
1706 - Looks rather homemade, so it could be almost anything; perhaps
it's intended to bale or bundle up something, like brush. Purely a wild
guess.
1707 - Holder for a fireplace screen (in the sense of a panel to block
unwanted excess heat when sitting near the fire, not in the sense of a
spark arrestor).
1708 - Business end of the "jaws of life"?
1709 - Sailor's palm thimble, used with a curved needle when repairing
sails.
1710 - Dipstick, possibly for a wine or other barrel holding 24 gallons.
Now to read other people's responses.

1705 - Likely a sugar cube lifter for use by "polite society" while
serving tea.
1706 -
1707 - Some type of toaster? Or maybe used with a fireplace to cook
something else.
1708 - Looks like a Genesis Patriot 5-40 rescue spreader tool,
1709 - Sail makers mitt.
1710 - Tank stick for a milk tank. The large numbers give you the depth
of the milk. The smaller numbers tell you the amount of cream on top of
the milk.

This is correct but I'm not sure that it's strictly for milk tanks.

Yes, that's the patent I was referring to.
They have all been answered correctly this week, the answer page can be seen

Can you tell us more about 1706 Lawn Glider Rocker? The illustration you
provided doesn't show anything that looks like 1706 and I don't see how
1706 could safely hold four people and the necessary seating.

Close.
The original HEAVY Hurst tool was a spreader tool, Then Hurst got the
idea of adding a cutter on the inside of the jaws to allow cutting.
These were HEAVY all steel tools. (Want a set, I know of two setting in
a garage collecting dust)
This particular tool is used to spread the doors/hinges/whatever to
access the people inside. We also use them to move other items and
general rescue use like you would use a bumper jack. These are MUCH
lighter than the all steel units and also faster.
It would be accompanied by an O cutter (looks like a SHARP crab claw)
which is also hydraulic. Those are used to cut just about anything, even
the new boron steel used on some high dollar cars.

The first paragraph below is from the comments on my site, the second is
from an email that he sent me.
I asked him to see if he could find a link on the web if he can't find his
photos.
1706- Wow! I thought I would never see another one of these!
I restored a unique Victorian lawn glider some years back. This is
one of two rocker assemblies used in its construction. These sat on
a railed frame and the super structure with two opposing seats with
canvas roof sat on top. The rods were to limit the travel and keep them
positioned.
I restored this unit about 15 years ago .
I had some photos of it but I need to search for them.
In any event I will sketch it for you. It was quite a neat piece.
Until now I always assumed that the one I worked on was a "one off" piece.
Your rockers are a dead-on match to the ones I worked on so I guess someone
was manufacturing these gliders.
The one I restored is on Staten Island, NY.

Posting from Rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1705) Hmm ... a bit small to be an unusual set of ice
tongs. Perhaps something to reach in and grab a fuse/primer
or the back of a cartridge case from a small cannon?
If it had three tongs instead of two, I would consider it to be
for picking up balance weights by the knobs without transferring
skin oils onto the metal to shift the weight a bit.
1706) Given the length, I would suggest that it was for winding up
lengths fabric (36" width), or perhaps stair runner carpet/rug
materials.
About 47" for the first wrap, and increasing with each
subsequent wrap at a rate depending on the thickness.
1707) Perhaps for hanging a slab of meat in front of the fireplace to
keep it warm?
1708) Serious strength hydraulic jaws for material handling. If the
jaws had sharp edges where they close, I would consider them to
be the "Jaws of life" for getting into a crushed vehicle to
rescue the occupants.
1709) A sailmaker's "palm". The raised "volcano" with the set of
smaller holes are for resting the back end of the needle to
allow generating sufficient force to force the needle through
several layers of canvas and likely some rope as well.
1710) A dipstick for determining the amount of some liquid in a tank.
From the size, I think that it might be for fuel oil for
home heating
Now to see what others have suggested,
DoN.
