I was browsing the auction sales and noticed an odd tool - I photo-shopped the pic to remove the label. I'm guessing that it's about 2 feet long.

Looks like just the thing to pull wire or rope through a long thin crevice. With the offset on the handle, probably a crevice underneath something. Like if you wanted to fish the power cord of a fridge out to the front underneath the appliance (instead of along the side, or just plugging it in behind).
A rather specialized task, but I'm sure someone has needed to do it before.

That's an easy one. It is used for colonoscopy.
Believe it is to slide under a shingle to grab the nail to remove it. For removing a single shingle.

It's for roofers, to remove nails from under shingles by cutting them. You can hammer on the bent part of the handle if needed.

Yup! A cedar shingle nail remover for replacing broken shingles.
