2651 is a weight for pan scales. My gran had similar ones with the kitchen scales she used.
2650. The two unidentified tools might be homemade "Bulletstartes" for a muzzleloading rifle. The top part looks like its be made from Stag´s horn.

no idea they were worth so much.
2647, could be any of a number of things. I'd guess a bicycle spoke tightener. The square hole is for opening valves on acetylene tanks.
2648, posts, for outdoor fence.
2649, as a former volunteer fire fighter, I recognize this one. I won't spoil it for our non fire fighter friends.
2650, don't know.
2651, stationary bottle opener?
2652, top of a fireplace

Glass cutter! I can see it now. But, the little wheel is missing from the end. Of course, still doesn't explain the square hole.

also seem to be called "short starters"
What could be worse than fighting a fire with cold, wet feet? This strap would allow a fireman to hang his hose on a ladder to dry in front of the fire!
Someone sent this in to find out what it was, they were using it as a door stop, when I gave them the answer they said that they might as keep using it for that.
Good answer, I should have known this one, I posted one a few years ago but it was ball shaped and I didn't make the connection to these tools.
Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to the owner of these tools.
These are both correct
Yes, that's what the square hole is for.
