Nope, it's not for matches.

190 has to be for spot lapping of surfaces. it looks just like a tiny lapping plate.

Tube end caulking hammer ?

(probably boiler firetubes)

189 is a mandrel for expanding the end of copper tubing so it can accept same-size tubing in a joint. Just happened to see one in a store since my earlier post!

Woodruff key remover.

G.I. Jane's Secret Tampon Stash Cannister.

I thought #189 might be a blank for a stepped billdrit but the shank is way too large for that.

#185 looks like a hair/fur shear for animal feet/delicate places. #191 kitchen tool: a vacuum breaker for canning jars. #184 is a puller of some sort. Hmmm...

189. Prop from the Flash Gordon set. 190. Gnome masher. 191. Tool to pull rancid socks loose from lockers. 192. Tazmanian Devil sex toy. 193. High-heeled leg from Mecha-Barbie. 194. Emergency self-trepanning kit. 184. What butch nuns whack knuckles with. 185. Cat whisker trimmer with regulator. 186. Scottish baby tongs. 187. Bullet for shooting barbers. 188. Toe vise.

How about a cigar plug style cutter ?

My source has a different name for them, but it is for working on boiler firetubes so I guess your answer is close enough to call correct. According to a book that I have it's called a beading tool.

192 - makes chips out of block ice 193 - could this be something used to pack oakum in the bell ends of cast iron sewer pipe? 187 - some kind of adjustable line weight

194 was for carrying a drivers license, I think.

Outstanding!

Ackshully, that's a mackeral swinger.

Yes

According to a tool book that I have, it's not used on sewer pipes.

Correct.

That's not what it was sold for.

#194 - Is it a holder for lead for mechanical pencils, and does a spare eraser fit into the silver-colored part?

Not sure exactly what this is, but I don't think it's correct.

lol, nope

You're correct that it's not a blank for a drillbit, or billdrit if you prefer (was that on purpose?)

Not a hair/fur cutter.

This would work if they had very small lids

Not really a puller

lol, I wish I really had some of those...
