It's been long enough since I were in the areawas last there but that looks like could be John Rice Irwin's Museum of Appalachia in/near Clinton/Norris, TN. If so, I'm pretty sure I know it... :)

He was a kewl dude--if you took these pictures and aren't from there (I think you're somewhere in OH?) did you get to the Lenoir Museum just up the road towards Norris. Mr Lenoir was still alive for a number of years when we in the area. It was a treat to spend as much time as one had the leisure to take hearing all about his collecting and how he came to get any one item.
There are plenty of "mystery objects" there... :)
It's now part of the State of TN parks Dept at Norris Lake as he donated the entire collection to the State in return for the agreement to maintain it which they've done an admirable job thereof...

2604 - used to block flow in pipes in chemical plants. We called them "pancakes.". Stick them in between flanges.

I've always used a medium sized pair of channel locks on Heycos.

2599) Well ... to me, the first part looks like a rolling mill for grinding rain in the circle. The upward pointing end of the right-angle piece of wood should fit into a hole in the center stump and I guess that a person walks the axle around
The other part looks like it might be for winnowing the grain.
2600) O.K. This one I *know* -- though I have not seen one marked and built quite like this.HEYCO makes strain reliefs for power cords an the like. Two pieces of plastic (usually black, and sometimes tethered together by a string of plastic). They have notches in the OD, and distort the cord into a 'U' shape within the body of the relief.
These pliers are designed to grip the two halves from the side (thus the angled tips) and compress them to deform the power cord enough so the two halves fit into a hole punched in the chassis. When the pliers relax their grip, the two halve expand a bit and grip the hole so it won't pull out.
The metal 'U' around the pliers is to keep the jaw geared to the handle to cover a specific range. You can move that to disengage the gears to allow adjusting for larger or smaller strain reliefs. Very useful tool. I have two, which I keep set to common sizes in what I do. Mine have a nut which is removed to allow the gear mesh between jaw and handle to be shifted.
2601) This one looks to me like part of a strain relief for running telephone cables between the building and the pole. There should be another part which slides into it or which is locked by the center tabs to keep a grip. 2602) For holding two things at a specific angle while they are glued together.Or -- for holding steel cable in the shape of an eye while it is being served to keep it in that form. Hmm ... the previous object might be used as part of the serving.
2603) Hog-scalding kettle -- for removing the bristles from the hide of a hog prior to cutting it up for meat. 2604) Dodging tools -- for holding back the exposure of some areas of a photographic print, while the rest is allowed to darken more.Now to post and see what others have suggested.
Enjoy, DoN.

Feel free to give the answer if you want.
I didn't know about the Lenoir Museum, next time I drive past Norris I'll stop in, sounds like an interesting place.

Is 2599 (the grinding stones) related, in some way, to 2603 (the large
5' kettle)? Both appear to be at the same museum, ie. the signs on the tree with the number 26, other grinding stones, and the fence construction in some areas.Whatever is ground, by the stones, is placed into the kettle for cooking/processing? Other guesses: For grinding some wood/fibrous product, to make a resinous paste product or for making a texture product for better chinking of logs of a log cabin, for enhancing mortar for chimney making or for making a more solid (or waterproof?) flooring in cabins?
That museum looks like a nice interesting place to visit.
