351: A modern version of the Magic Eight Ball?
352: The read/write armature of a computer hard disk drive.
353: A swinging ball from a VERY LARGE conservation of momentum toy. ;)355: Saxophone (or similar musical instrument)
356: Looks like a seat and frame (perhaps from an old horse-drawn farm implement).351: A digital magic eightball? 352: Moving arm from a hard disk drive unit. 356: Tree climber spikes (gaffes)..

351) Either an electronic version of the magic 8-ball, or a quiz ball. 352) Hard drive head assembly
353) Ye Olde Pressure Cooker
354) Combination periscope and snorkel255) Musical instrument?
356) Stirrup355 is a close up of a flute 356 *may* be one of a pair of old-style climbing gaffs

#351: An electronic toy or magic eight ball?? #352: ?? Looks like a computer part?? #353: An Anchor? #354: ?? #355: Saxaphone #356: A gaff or "hook". For climbing telephone poles. Or in this case, the gaff looks long enough for a tree climber.
354 - Dunno what it demonstrates, but I'm wagering that the household appliance is a vacuum cleaner.

Cool! When the kids are done playing there won't be an intact window in his house.

Again -- I'm posting from rec.crafts.metalworking.
351) Looks like either a kids electronic game, or perhaps a modern electronic version of the old "Magic 8 Ball" with floating answers. (Based on the legends on four embedded LEDs:Unknown No Yes Sometimes
It appears to also have a display capable of printing a short word or two, and a pair of buttons on the sides.
352) Again -- I have to refrain from guessing, since this is my item. :-)353) Bell -- I think for a sleigh.
354) An interesting item. The flap on the top secured by a single piece of tape is a one-way valve. If the valve were not paper, I might guess it to be some form of snorkel, with the longer end (terminating in a J-hook) being stuck up through the surface of the water, and the short T connecting to a mouthpiece.355) Part of the valve linkage on a musical instrument -- either a brass or a woodwind. I don't know them well enough to be sure, but I think that the size looks about right for a Saxophone, with the projection to the left being to attach a neckstrap to for support.
356) Missing the leather straps which should go through the eyes at the top. These are a set of climbing spikes -- either for climbing trees (lumberjack), or for climbing wooden power poles. In the latter case, they are probably not used as much now as in the past, since most utility companies use cherrypickers to lift the worker to the job.Now to see what others have answered.
Enjoy, DoN.
Nope -- it was already incommunicado. And it has also donated some nice ball bearing assemblies, and some really powerful permanent magnets.
Enjoy, DoN.

'cept for them 80-100' poles! Can't break out a Bronto everytime!
352 is the head assembly including the coil for the voice coil motor from a hard disk drive. 353 looks like a sinker used to keep rope under water.
355 looks like a section of a brass musical instrument. Maybe a saxophone?
346 is the outer section of a mortising chisel & bit set.345 looks like it might be a pocket sized circular slide rule ???
349 is the setup for a simple DC electric motor demonstration
(: I missed those things when I was incommunicado. Moving sucks! Especially when you find out that the new place is a friggin' roach motel.
The platters make nice windchimes.
