1344: Might be a rifle rack as other's suggested, but it might also
be part of something else, like an artist's easel. It looks like
something has been broken off it.
1345: Looks like a scale, but with no indicator it wouldn't work too
well. Unless the indicator's on the part we can't see.
1346: It's a square of magnetic spheres.
1347: A horse snowshoe?
1348: Opener/pryer of some sort. Don't know about the slot.
1349: Pinion/gear puller, adjustable for various gear sizes
1350: Manacles

I tend to think of this stuff as spam - taking our minds away from
metal working. And the bandwidth.
For me, it looks odd. The registration of the square holes on top
to the very restrictive slots on the bottom don't seem to match.
It might be a crutch rack - two 'feet' upwards in a hole - in a A frame
look.

1347. Strap on shoes for horses. I'm guessing for mud.
1350. Hand cuffs.

1346. Looks like a bunch of magnetic ball bearings, but I'd think
that they'd tend to pack more tightly than a cube.

That sort of thing might be found in a hunting cabin, or a smallish trap

I think 1349 is a hand puller for watches, clocks or gauges. Seems too light
for gears or chain plates.
1345 is definitely a cleaning solvent dispenser/recovery device as others
have said.

No.
It's a dispenser for flammable solvents, like alcohol.
One presses down on the top to dispense a small amount of solvent into the
dish, which you can then take up with a rag, etc.

1345 is a parts washer. - Used to see 'em' in auto repair shops.

I'm trying to imagine what else it might be.
When rifles are kept together, it's usually in a closed case to keep
them clean and secure. Military rifle racks are open so it can be seen
at a glance that all are present and secure, but military racks have
locking rods.
If five rifles are kept unlocked and in the open, it seems more
practical to hang them horizontally on a wall. Besides, a rifle would
rest in the notch approximately where the barrel joins the receiver.
Rifles are often 3 to 4" deep at that point. The notches don't look
deep enough. If the front bar is not attached to the notched bar (so
the front bar can swing out), the notched bar looks flimsy.

How about violins? If you've treated five of them with glue or varnish,
you can't put them right back in their cases. The slot along the front
of the tray could be for a couple of bows to dry.
1344: Old "farmer built" gun rack. One like it is in a local shooting
club. It was knocked together to give the members a place to set there
guns when they came inside. Instead of leaning them against the door
moldings!
1345: Looks kind of like a older version of the pump top solvent can I
have. You fill it full of solvent and push down on the top to release
what you need onto a rag. Might even be used for varnish in the same way.
1346: Magnetic spheres?
1347: Mud shoes for your horse. Used when your on soft ground or loose
sand so you don't sink in when using your team. Good ones are hard to
find as they usually got broken.
1348: Aluminum spanner for fire hose fittings. The notch can be used for
a couple things the common use is to shut off gas cocks. The pry bar end
is for opening the access panels on many buildings to access the water
risers. It also comes in handy as a target for the rubber mallet and as
a boot scraper (so you can hand it to the probie and tell them to clean
and return it to the rig). How many would you like? We have a BUNCH.
1349: Clock hand puller
1350: Looks like an OLD pair of blacksmith made manacles. straight bar
instead of chain. Might be used while in a pillory?

It was marked "gun rack", but as someone else mentioned, it looks homemade.
There is a hinge at the top left so the front bar can be opened, and the
other side has a latch that could be secured with a padlock. The lower
compartment could also be locked.

I can imagine it now. The farmer's wife tells him to lock up his guns
for the safety of the children. This rack works because it doesn't
occur to the children to slide it away from the wall.

Quite a tricky set, methinks; I only think my guesses are reasonably
likely on the first and last items.
1344 - Possibly a gun rack, with the barrels going through the square
holes and the butts of the stocks resting in the larger gaps between the
blocking in the tray. The compartment underneath would presumably store
ammunition and accessories. Such an open design would probably not be
generally accepted today, when guns are kept carefully controlled under
lock and key for the most part.
1345 - small parts cleaner? Solvent in the lower drum part, and
operating the top tray pumps a little up over the screen for removing
grime or whatever.
1346 - It's a cube of ball bearings (magnetic?). Why would one
construct one? Maybe to illustrate a crystal lattice pattern for
chemistry instruction, and maybe because it's just neat looking.
1347 - Snowshoes for horses?
1348 - This could be a tire iron and wheel rim reforming tool. I'd
guess the slot might be to manipulate valve stems...but that's just a
guess. Maybe also to hold the iron down or add a handle or strap for
additional leverage.
1349 - Picture frame assembly jig? though I can't quite see how it
would actually be used for that purpose....
1350 - Arm iron to immobilize a prisoner.
Now to read the other guesses

Huh????
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Late, but here's my guesses since I actually have some this time!
1344: Umbrella stand
1345: The gismo that folks at car washes use to get cleaner/wax/etc onto
a pad to put on your car trim/tires/etc (I don't know it's official
name, but it's exactly what they use)
1350: If the center somehow twists and/or the ends can somehow open,
then leg catchers/restraints for animals or possibly human
handcuffs/restraints.

1348 is a fireman's tool. Useful for wrenching hose connections, prying
open doors, removing hydrant caps. The slot is for shutting off service
gas valves at the meter to reduce fuel in a fire situation.
1350 appears to be a Lily handcuff, or a reproduction. This design was
made infamous as it is the style of handcuff that was used on the
conspirators in the President Lincoln assassination.
