Har! :)

2807 - Guessing, an ice scraper. For scraping the surface of ice prior to cutting into blocks, for sale or use, i.e., refrigeration, long ago?

#2806 reminds me of an old hand planter; here it looks like you press down on the handle while inserting into the ground and the flaps open to release seed.

2808: Lock out / tag out device. Multiple locks can be used to make sure a machine or circuit isn't energized when it shouldn't hadda' outa' be.

These are both correct.

Good answer! It said corn planter on the side of it.

I'm sure this is correct but I don't know if there was a particular purpose for having two of them connected.

As indicated, connected by two screws. If you look inside the clamp laying on the table you will see a screw/hole that on the top side that connects to the one standing up right.

For what is worth I use clamps in this orientation to stand a board or panel 90 degrees to the work surface.

I don't see either clamp screw connecting to the other clamp. The screw on the clamp laying down passes outside of the standing clamp as is better seen in the second large image.

I do see a hole on the inside of the clamp laying down, but is much smaller than the screw. These may be handmade and were built with whatever wood was available. Perhaps Rob can contact the person who contribute the images.

I am not talking about the adjustment screw, I am talking about the dark spots between the adjustment screw and the clamp pivot.
