Leather slitting cutter
The long fence is an adjustable guide, the short knife under the handles cuts the leather.
It's not a leather "plough", they're built heavier and have a couple of other differences.

No. 121 is a Tau Beta Pi "key", National Engineering Honor Society. Not that I ever got very close to one...... Dave
Thanks for the info, looks like it might have been a part of a paperweight like the one in this photo:

I'm still researching this one, I'll look into your idea. Another guess that I heard was a scribe for timber or wood planks.

It looks a lot like the peizo-electric trigger for a grill. If it has resistance and then clicks and feels loose, that's probably what it is. If it sparks across the two wires or the middle/bottom wire and the ground/ shell, that is what it is.

Looks like your average BBQ igniter sparker.
Rubber bouncy ball?

A superball? Size and texture would be helpful at the onset.

... snip
one of those "wacky-clacker" balls?
Yes, it's a piezo-electric sparker. I bought it for the following science experiment: poke a hole in the lid of one of those black film canisters, insert the wire leads, put in a couple drops of alcohol or perfume, put on the lid and then push the button. You get a small explosion that sends the canister flying about ten or twenty feet.
Rob
Correct.
This one isn't a bouncy ball.
Rob
It's not a superball, what you see there is 1.25" in diameter, it's made of glass, I don't know what the inside is made of.

This one isn't made of rubber, the outside is glass.
Others are almost certain that this one is a pad counter:

A flashbulb?
Necker's knob for a car steering wheel?

Paperweight? Is it drilled and/or flat on the bottom?
isn't as sharp as it would need to be nor is the end of the guide tip angled as it would be for a leatherworking tool.

- Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it? -

Oh, only 1-1/4" dia? It's an AGGIE! (Marble to you kids.)

Nope, keep in mind that there is more to this one than you can see in the photo.

Yuppers. Inductees/pledges receive a rough sandcasting that they're supposed to smooth and polish prior to initiation.
#125 looks like a carrying handle of some sort. Slide the "L" under the load, slide the handle down the "L" until it contacts the load, and when lifted the load (of ?) is clinched between the two projections. Looks like it'd work best in multiples for carrying sheets of something.
It's not a marble.
Rob
It's not a paperweight, nor is it drilled or flat on the bottom, you would recognize a side view of it though.
I was going to mention that the ends are sharp, but as you say, not quite sharp enough to a be a good leather cutting tool.
