According to the owner they are ice chippers, though they do look sort of like shingle tools.
No luck yet identifying number 2339 but the rest of the answers can be seen here:

2338: I agree with Rob. In 3000 BC, the Iceman knew the purpose of a pack frame was to rest weight on the lower back. His pack frame had two wood slats for that. If this is a pack frame, it's much more primitive than the Iceman's.
2338 is shurely a reversible sledge
It's probably a farm implement and it looks like it should have something to do with grain or animal feed.
What does it look like under the spiral cone?
I'm guessing that 2339 is used for winnowing grain (separate wheat from chaff).

I hardly glanced at it when I took the photo, I was taking pictures of the fish trap and saw this device in one of my photos when I got home. So I don't know what is under the spiral, hopefully I'll see it again some day. If he didn't sell it, he might have it for sale again next year at the tractor show.
