207
Is the inside threaded ? Looks like a push-in threaded insert.
209Leadworkers / plumbers bat / beater for shaping lead sheet. I think this one is used for forming roof flashing into a collar around a vertical flue or pipe.
Click on the below link, you may find some of our specialty handtools to be of help. We now sell to the public at wholesale prices!
Hmm ... 207 looks like some sort of bushing designed to press into a hole in wood. Perhaps about something like 1/4" through hole to act as some kind of low-duty bearing, or perhaps internally threaded beyond the end of the currently visible portion of the hole.
208 -- perhaps the winding of wire to bind a small hand broom together? Though, depending on the lighting, it could perhaps be a rectangular wound spring. 209 -- Perhaps something to shape clay on a potter's wheel? 210 -- no guess. 211 -- ditto 212 -- Some kind of anvil for forming rings, normally clamped in a vise by the square section?Enjoy, DoN.
Close enough, it's an insert nut, hammer-in type, threaded on the inside
They are regular staples, don't know if they're narrow crown
It's wooden, but it wasn't used in a bakery.
Correct.
Nope
Yes, it's an insert nut for assembling furniture.
Neither of these.
I'm not entirely sure what this is for, the seller had it marked as being a "founder's tool", which I take to mean for making molds for metal or glass. But I suppose it could also be used for clay.
I don't know what this one is, but I believe it was used by a machinist.
Correct.
Correct, the inside is threaded and it was marked as being hammer-in.
I'll have to get back to you on this one, not sure if it's right or not.
Butter or Ice Cream churn paddle?

One of the other answers looks more like it was right, but I'll wait until I see that answer.
It was just a guess, based on the overall shape, and considering that I've never done potter's wheel work.

And it has some kind of marking on the end, presuably the machinst's own name, and some cryptic marking. I doubt that he bothered to make it too detailed, as *he* knew what he made it for. And while we can make guesses, the odds are against figuring exactly what it was for.
Is the cylindrical part tapered? It looks so in the photo, bigger at the free end -- but that could be a problem with perspective.
Enjoy, DoN.
It doesn't look like any potter's tool that I've seen. I think the mold making is a closer fit.

Nope, according to the seller it wasn't used as a paddle.
The square end of this one is 15/16" square and says "E. Smith. J." , the other end is tapered and appears to function as a handle.
The seller had six similar tools that he was selling, all marked "founder's tool". So although it might look like a paddle it was used for something else.
Buy from you? You can't even spam right.
Item 211 is a miniature sanding block. It is part of a set that contains several different profiles. I believe the set is still available.
Item 212 may be a home-made precision straight edge. It looks similar to one I have in a DoAll Precision Inspection Kit.
I have no idea what Item 202 is, but I am guessing it is some sort of kingpin or tie rod end reamer.
Item 209 looks like a worn out sand casting mold ram.
This answer is correct.
Sounds like a good guess, I'm still not sure what this one is.
I think this is right.
