219 looks like the male portion of one of those snap fasteners for children's clothing.

219. Top of a dry cell (AA size?)
223. Stake for a brick layers line. Martin
220 looks like a semi wadcutter pistol bullet. Somewhat unusual nose.
222 - A very strange looking set of snap ring pliers?
223 - A "pointing" device used for the cement / mortar between bricks, etc. Possibly used by today's brickface and stucco folks to create false bricks, etc.

219 is easy -- it's the top of a dry cell battery. Hard to tell the size, but I'd guess a AA. 213 looks like some kind of mollusk shell.
215 looks like a pressure relief valve from a steam radiator.
217 looks like some kind of flaring tool, or maybe a grommet setter.218 peels grapes
223 is a block line holder. They are stuck in the joints of cinder block to hold the line.
Isn't it time to tell us what the fish bone thing is ? #213
Where do you find all this stuff? They must have some cool swap meets there or you work in a museum.
218) Tool for working on escape wheel in a watch or clock. 219) Battery terminal.
220) Cast bullet -- perhaps Minnie ball. It has been weathering for quite a while, based on the color.
221) Detent for some sort of ratchet?222) Tool for expanding something like perhaps a snap ring?
223) Tool for pointing mortar joints? The notches perhaps for some measurement associated with the task?Now -- to see what others have already answered.
Enjoy, DoN.

218. Nice looking, well built. Only thing I can think of is some form of comparator or thickness gauge. 219. Top of a D, C, or AA battery.220. If 3/4" long, probably a maxi or mini ball, .45 or .50 cal. No rifling or distortion so probably unfired.

222 is a pair of pliers for opening and closing lamp chain.

223 is a brick spacer and pointing tool. 220 is a lead bullet slug. 219 may be an extruded snap for clothing. 218 is a pair of cuffs for a machinist who lost a hand when it was caught in his lathe OR a woodworker's go/nogo gauge with cutter to make it fit, perhaps for chair spindles.
223: level line holder for mortar. put in between the joints in the blocks on each corner, run a string all the way across for your straight line of brick or block. When done with that coarse remove it and fill the joint. Like the wooden blocks that hang on the edge, but more true. It can not be bumped up or down. Don D.
217 is a chain breaker, no?

Yes, AA is correct.
Not a shell but you're in the right ballpark.
Nope
Neither of these
This one isn't part of a snap fastener.
Both of these are correct.
Yes, it's a bullet but I'm not sure what particular type of weapon it's for.
Yes
Correct
Bullet is correct, not sure if it's a minnie ball.
Nope
Yes, but not for snap rings, but I suppose you could use it for that.
I don't think this is correct.
Nope
Yes, AA type
It's a bullet but I'm not sure what type, calling it a maxi or mini "ball" seems like an odd name for it.
