I believe 2458 would be used in performing a pedicure on a horse's hoof.
Kevin Gallimore
Thanks! I'm sure this is correct.
2456 is an artists paint brush cleaner storage device
2455, length of copper tubing with an access fiting pre brazed on.
2456, some kind of cooking pot, with handle that tries to stay cool to the touch
2457, snow chains for an Amish buggy
2458, no clue. Maybe for helping carry bales of hay?
2459, no clue.
2460, no clue.
2455 -
2456 - small brush cleaner.
2457 -2458 - folding hoof pick and hoof knife
2459 -2460 - Looks like a mechanical bomb sight.
2455 - Early colonoscopy scope? LOL
2457 - Early version of a Simpson Strong Tie-like attachment? The joints would allow for making different lengths for different applications.
2456 - Early sterilizer for small medical tools? or some other small objects?

2458: Maybe the other tool is for "scraping" before you use the scribe.

2459: Marking a tenon shoulder on the end of a round beam?
2455 is a WWI trench periscope. The upper lens is facing down and not visible in this photo.
2455: Guess: A primitive pressure gauge/(blow out valve?) for a fine piece of steam powered machinery--hence the brass.

2460 Making a wild guess, based on the degrees of freedom, I suggest that this is an artillery aiming computer.
To be used on a map? I thought of "aiming accessory for a howitzer", but it looked like it might be too fragile.
I was thinking that it would be for a ship's gun. One input is compass heading, and it looks like the output at the bottom pointer is how far to lead or follow the target.
This answer is correct.
Good answer, this is correct.
I think this is probably correct, maybe for use on a ship or plane, but I haven't been able to find another one like it.
I'm amateur at this, and my greatest respect to you. Truly professional, very well done.

How foolish - this is clearly a ceremonial hash pipe used by North American Indian tribes in the 17th and 18th century.
Oh man - don't you recognize a miniature lobster steamer, used for steaming miniature lobsters?
I thought a good mormon would quicly recognize a hand made S&M collar for the wife...
Or a purpose built jack knife for cutting around curves?
A taxidermists jig for holding dead cats in position while mounting them for the Pencil Sharpener re-use found in the handy manual "100 Things To Do With A Dead Cat".
Sorry - you cannot use the same answer for two different items. This one is clearly a Gizmo - surprised you didn't catch that immediately.
