remember owning or using one similar to that (but covered in a cream colored paint instead of shiny like that one)
274 looks like its designed to spray something (insect spray? paint? dont know) 276 looks like a shutter (to an old camera? film equipment? I dont know) 277 looks like cutting blades from something like a garbage disposal or something.272. Al window stop or lock 273.Nut cracker 274. line maker using paint 275. Looks painful? 276. Iris in oil or gas fired furnace to adjust flame 277. Nutlock for funiture assembly
I thought 273 was a nut cracker at first but the tip of the bolt is flat. Will this still work?
Just guesses of course, but...
272. Some sort of screen door fastener. Maybe to hold the glass or screen in place?273. Sprinkler pipe clamp.
274. I would guess at an old chaulk or ink dispenster for carpenters, etc.277. Cheap but effective "nut" for use on fiber board or soft woods with light duty carriage bolts, etc. Digs into the wood as you tighten the fastener and thus does not spin?

Know a good travel agent? I need one. Really.
274 - for marking out lines? pool/billiard table?
275 - pure guess - a trigger pull gauge
276 an old camera aperture control iris277 - a nut that is drawn into the soft wood / chipboard by the action of the bolt - thus allowing you to bolt together without great access to nut and leaving very little protruding.
Or glue applicator
Actually called a "teenut," (works similarly to real teenuts for clamping workpieces for machining, but in wood or plastic to mount various positioning aids) Use a lot of them making custom wheelchair rehab seating.
272. ALuminum window lock or travel stop?
275 is a hand trap, for throwing clay targets for shotgun practice.
272. Window lock 273. Lathe dog 274. No clue 275. Wire tensioner 276. Camera aperture 277. Tee nut

On second look, I'll say that:
274. pinstripe applicator- R. H.
272. Hamburgler deterrent. 273. Eats lathe cats. 274. McGuyver's high-school bong kit. 275. My dad used to beat me with one after frisbee practice. 276. The Terminator's eye. 277. An anti-screw. Combine with a regular screw and the two instantly destroy eachother.
272: Stops something from sliding on rails. You put this thing on the rail, move it to where you want it to stop, and tighten the set screw. Probably a window as it's not big enough for a door. 273: Presumably the screw is meant to center something.. no idea what. 274: Pesticide bottle?
275: Given the name "Western Cartridge", it might be a tool for sighting-in rifles or some such thing.
276: Camera aperture277: Device for putting metal threads in a wooden block which will be turned while in use. You drill the hole in the block, then hammer this thing in. A pepper shaker of mine has a similar device inside. Doesn't work too well because the prongs don't grip well.
272 - Window/screen retainer or stop?
273 - Lathe/Grinder dog
274 - Paint striper?
275 - Skeet thrower
276 - Camera iris/shutter/aperture?
277 - Tee Nut to put a threaded hole in wood

267. Cheap formed sheet metal acorn nut.
268. An early rifle bayonet.
274. Some kind of sprayer (disinfectant maybe?)Jeff
From rec.woodworking
#272: window stop #273: Well, it will hold a rod. Maybe a centering jig? #274: Pinstriping tool. #275: dunno. #276: camera shutter #277: "T" nut
XLIX? Am I misreading this? If you're going for "19" then it should be written, "XIX". Otherwise it's speld Exlax.
I am sure others will point out that the Roman numeral L stands for 50 XL would give 40 XLIX would give 49
But inquiring minds would like to know if IL would work?
