2938 Display rack for hanging some [I dunno what.] merchandise in a hardware store?

2937 Tropical fruit [no idea which] harvesting tool??

2939 Thermometer (temperature sensor) hung over the edge of a vat cooking something??

2949 Sampling tool for something soft. Grain, soap, latex, butter, lard, cheese? Shove in, twist, pull out, and inspect for quality and density.

Rob H. fired this volley in news: snipped-for-privacy@drn.newsguy.com:

2936 appears to be a wall-mount tool holder, and from the elongate holes, I'd say a chisel holder. 2937 I believe is a combination ice chopper and saw, either for ice fishing or for collecting ice.

2937- 'cuts' grooves into uncured concrete to create controlled fracture lines, for floors, sidewalks, etc

2938

2939- another bark peeler, similar to a few weeks ago, spud tool?

2940- takes a core sample from something that sure doesn't want to be sampled...

Soil core auger?

From the wear, I'd guess a crack weeder.

You have the right general idea.

Not sure about this one, I'm guessing edger.

Nope, one of the words written on it is "tester".

You're on the right track, but you don't list the specific substance that it's used with.

Yes, it's for a tool, but the word tool doesn't come to my mind when I see what it holds.

Could be, I've heard five or ten possible uses for it but can't prove any of them.

I was close to saying that, was looking for an additional feature or two to push me to that conclusion.

This one isn't a gauge

On this one it's not the inside of the loops that hold the tools.

Nope, there is something in it, but it's not really a container for anything.

I was thinking maybe it was for clay, it's probably missing its wooden handle.

Sample corer is right but it's not for soil.

Nope, it's not for hay.

It's for testing something more common than radiation.

Sounds like a good use for it but once again I couldn't confirm it on the web.

It looks a bit like the tool they use to strip agave leaves.

Brix tester?

Ok. Not trying to be offensive... Fertilizer, natural, bovine, male.

Posting this cross-posted followup from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.

2935) Intersting. without the swining arms and stop screw, it looks like something designed to scribe and break glass panes. A bit older than the ones with hardened rollers for scribing the glass. The notches *are* of varying thickness, are they not?

The arms might be for following a guide to produce a straight scribe (better/easier breaks than a curved line).

It could benefit from a wooden handle on the far end.

2936) A wall mounted rack for hanging something like screwdrivers or perhaps drill bits for wood. 2937) Length?

I think that it is a tool for cutting back grass at the edge of a concrete sidewalk. A foot steps on the straight edge to drive it into the soil/grass.

2938) Perhaps a tool for dispensing a single drop of oil onto some tool?

Not really enough detail for any better guess.

2939) No real guess -- except perhaps for something for chopping up vegetable matter? Cyclic motion applied to the projection to the side, and a chain going up from the eye to hold it vertical?

2940) Sorry -- no guess.

Now to post and then see what others have suggested.

Enjoy, DoN.
