Below are some items that were sent in to me, I know the answer for number 11 but not for the other two.10. This was found in a graveyard, it's about 3-1/4" long, it has three threaded compartments with a lid, two compartments were full of grease.11. Two different items that were submitted, both with the same purpose:12. The owner's description: It's made of solid brass, approx. 1" long, 3/4" tall, 3/4" deep, had 2 small brass risers approx. 1/8" diameter, with sliding stainless steel rod inserted through left brass riser with set screw to hold in place, small stainless steel rod affixed in right riser, small hooked cutting blade with adjusting screw mounted on rear of device.

11 - guessing: a chemist's or pharmacist's scoop, for scooping smallamounts of product for mixing with another or putting on a scale formeasuring exact amount

Guessing:10 - Maybe part of an old (since it isn't decorative) swing-barassembly of a casket handle, that, for some reason, has been removed,broke off, fell off? "casket hardware" ---> sites ---> several pics of varioushardware with somewhat similar (?) round/rod parts: Tips,escutcheons, hinge caps, but nothing exactly as pictured in theinitial post.

I heard back from the owner of this device, they said that the ends of the rods are sharp points.
