I've seen this kind of thing uses as a magazine rack. Found in libraries.

2495-- a string dispenser

That's a good link, thanks. I was looking for a video of one in use but had no luck, there was a video of one running but it wasn't attached to a bike.

You're correct that it's a wood worker's clamp but it was used for a specific purpose.

2491 a punch and die to punch square holes in sheet metal.

This looks like it is part of an old machine that does that. Usually wheel driven, not hydraulic...

Holding down Pinocchio, while his nostrils were drilled?

I'm just astounded to get one right.

You're correct that it's a wood worker's clamp but it was used for a specific purpose.

2491) Looks like a blacksmith's tool for making rectangular holes in ferrous metals of some thickness beyond normal sheet steel.

There needs to be a matching hole in the anvil, or in a die in the anvil.

2492) Sticks through a hole in a work surface and hooks there. The screw applies clamping force to hold a workpiece to the surface. It appears to be missing the swiveling pad which is normally on these and on C-clamp screws. 2493) Kind or hard to see -- too dark and not enough processing in the digital world to lighten the gamma.

But -- at a guess, it is some form of door closer designed to pull the door closed, but avoid slamming.

2494) Looks like something designed to be welded to a large steel object to provide guidance for cables or ropes. At a guess, for maritime use. 2495) Perhaps a display stand for seed packets? 2496) Looks like part of a motorization kit for a bicycle, but on a stand for tuning and/or repair.

Now to post this and see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.

#2491 For making a maker's mark (just tap it with a mallet)?

Look down at Ed's post. This is a copy of what I posted there: Did a search. Here's why: "Similarly to Shaw, A.O. Smith also motorized bicycles with a device call the Smith Motor Wheel. To increase sales of its bicycle engine the Smith company developed and sold a small buckboard car call the Smith Flyer which was propelled by the motor wheel. Later still, in May 1919, A.O. Smith sold the Motor Wheel rights to the Briggs & Stratton Corporation of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Briggs & Stratton sold the buckboard car as the Briggs & Stratton Flyer. From:
