I need some help with the second item this week:

2699 Bearing scraper.
2696. Some sort of calorimeter? For coal samples perhaps.
2700. In Aussie parlance, a "Binder". Tractor towed machine for making sheaves of hay. Mower fitting (forks and cutter blade/s) low and at front. Hay is cut by blades and swept onto canvas carrier by the rotating windmill (acts like harvester; not a header). Hay is combined into sheaves, tied (bound with string) and dropped out the back of machine. 2699. Given 2700 has a farming emphasis, could this be a bag needle for sewing wheat or more likely chaff, bags? (assuming flattened right hand end has slot cut in it for string)

2700 A binder.
Pulled by horse or tractor would cut and bundle grain. Some poor slob (me) would walk behind and gather 6 bundles, lean pairs together like an a-frame (a shock) (capping with a seventh bundle if rain is expected). A few days later, another poor slob (me, again) goes around and forks the dried bundles onto a wagon which carried them to the center of the field where the threshing machine had been set up.
Hot, dusty, dirty, hard work.
This binder currently has the transport wheelset. On the end of the cutting head, in the second picture, you can just see the wheel used when the binder is cutting grain.

2700 Is a John Deere Grain bender. It cuts the grain and ties it in bundles and carries the bundles until the operator dumps them. It was pulled by horses.
2595 A Nut Cracker
2696- I think it was used to hold something burning that could be carried to steam engines or furnaces etc to light off one that was out/cold, or maybe to hold enough burning material to ensure a re-light after sitting for awhile.
2697. Approximately 3"-5" long:
Native Fishing lures... Rotate image 180 degrees for best viewing.
2695 ? I'd use it to squeeze lemons.
Correct, it's missing the wood handle. I had posted one of these a few years ago.
Yes, though I don't know if it's specifically for hay or if it is also for grain.
Nope, that's not it.
I don't think they are fishing lures, they were on display at an auction in a glass case with some American Indian and Inuit items.
I'm still not sure about this one but that sounds possible, someone found "a bunch" of these at their local scrap yard.
J Burns fired this volley in news:k6c6cq$tmp$1@dont- email.me:
2695I've seen these somewhere before. I think it's a sort of cord lock, perhaps for window blinds or curtains.

It appears they were made to scrape cups about an inch deep and .75 -
1.5 inches in diameter, with center holes in the bottom.I think perhaps traditional Inuit lamps used candles of animal fat, which is probably softer than our wax. These tools may have been to clean a lamp so a new candle would fit.
2698: If you had to install molding where a plaster wall met a plaster ceiling, this tool could make scratches to show the high points.
#2699 looks like a "riffler", no?
