"Rob H." scribbled:
the light bulb projects through the hole in the center
2617 scale weights?
2618 flashlight reflector (why does this seem too easy, whats the catch?)
2619 Electrician's fishtapes2620 Box for shipping queen bees.
2621 Door stop alarm
Similar, but a plumber's cleanout reel or plumber's snake. The background items gives the plumbing clue.
"Rob H." fired this volley in news: snipped-for-privacy@news1.newsguy.com:
2618 lamp reflector from battery lantern/flashlight/headlamp 2619 plumber's or electrician's "fish tape" for pulling wires and pipes through blind spaces/walls
2617, the one to the left is a cow bell. The rest are weights for a beam balance.
2618, high temperature crucible, for laboratory experiments. Typically, the crucible would have some chemical that was being tested. Tested for purity, for example. Either that, or a microwave sattelite dish for Satelite Walkman. Listen to sattelite radio, on the go.
2619, either a drain cleaning snake, or a "fish" for running wires. As a drain snake, you'd put a tip on the end of the flat strap, and run it into the pipe to ream it out.
2620, not sure. This will be interesting to see what it is.
2621, alarmed door wedge for travellers.
2622, clothing display rack?

I like the high temp crucible theory, better.

It was submitted by a guy who's not too bright?
Lot of people would not recognize an item, out of context.

2618 flashlight reflector (why does this seem too easy, whats the catch?)I guess that's two votes for electrican's fish. I guess the rounded tip helps keep the end from getting snagged on things?

through blind spaces/walls
2617: Counter balance weights or scale weights. 2618: Flashlight reflector or flash bulb reflector 2619: Fish Tape for electrical line running. or this looks like it has been used for plumbing based on location and rust. 2621: Door alarm. Used by travelers usually to protect night intrusion in hotel rooms. 2622: Some kind of clamp, hold down. The shaft goes in the hole and the bolt draws that firm in the hole. Appears to be for cabling ... maybe a temporary setup like a portable news studio... 2623:
2619 - I have one of these - it was sold as a plumber's drain unblocker, though I've more often used it for fishing for electric cables
2619 Drain snake
2622 Clamp for a temperature guage?
2619 Is a sewer tape used to unplug a backed up sewer pipe. Not a pleasant job!

Correct, someone had sent in the photo and I decided to post it even though it wasn't difficult, not too often but every once in a while I post an easy one.
I was going to say they are pipe cleaners but there is an almost equal amount of people saying they are fish tapes so I guess I'll include both in my answer.
I'll said, and raise you to web page.
