992 ? Lock mechanism?
993 Router. For making moldings, not for internet traffic.
989. Time clock keys 990. Animal restraint device (?!) 991. Gas light and valve tester - probably a good thing it's outdoors. 992. Back side of a lock mechanism 993. Scratch beader 994. Replaceable hammer tip R

And at least one that looks to be a simple drain valve.
It's a pretty famous one among collectors of antique woodworking tools. The Windsor Beader.
989, power keys, removable switching for machines, often used on electric traction/loco's. 990, flow and return hose crush?
991, drip oilers, still use them at the Uni on very high speed mini-drills.
992, top part of coin-mech.
At last, a couple of things I can identify -
990: 'Bagno' style handcuff restraint - Italian991: Although the caption says that these are all the same device in different configurations, some are oilers, some are grease cups and others are priming valves and poppet valves found on piston type engines
- steam, gasoline, diesel, etc.
992: rear view of a 'roll down' style coin acceptor used in vending and amusement machinesCarla
989 want to say watchman's key, but no number on it. RR related? 990 something to do with gas illumination- water traps? 991 992 993 molding cutters/planers 994 jackhammer bit

No need for the ? mark, Bill. You nailed that one.

989b: Meter vault cover key. 933(both) Hand routers for making molding.
991 A collection of lubricators. Probably a display board of them. Some look like they may be displacement types, the glass ones are probably all drip feed types. There are also some priming cups as used on early SI engines. 992 looks like a coin lock from a vending machine.

According to R.H. :
Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as usual:
989a-b) Given the lack of precision or any real machining on the castings, I doubt that these ever fit locks.And given the small hole drilled near the end of the handle end on both, I think that they were either hung on lines as weights, or hung on nails on the wall as decorations.
990) Some kind of furniture clamp, I think, though a view from the side would help. 991) A collection of drip oilers for various styles of machine tools and (probably) stationary steam engines.The second set has some things which look like valves to feed water or steam to various places -- including to steam whistles.
992) This looks like part of the coin accept/reject mechanism from a vending machine. 993a-b) Special shaving planes to produce decorative trim or edges to tabletops and the like.The first one looks as though it could be used on moulding as well -- fed through the hole which best fits it.
994) Looks like some kind of replaceable bit to go into perhaps a jackhammer or something similar.Now it is time to see what others have guessed.
Enjoy, DoN.
989: The second one, except for it's incredible lack of security, looks like it could be a safety deposit box key; the handle would be provided for sliding the box out. 991: Gas lanterns, gas valves
993: cable cutters?
Someone had told me that these were all oilers, but I've since found that your answer for this one is more accurate.
They've all been answered correctly this week, a couple new photos and some links have been posted on the answer page:

Rob,
I have one of the 989b tools. It was marketed and purchased as a water meter lid key.
