The one on the right with the metal ball on the end of a handle resembles a Native American war club (rounded stone hammer). My guess is a weapon.

My guesses: Tenth from the left, next to the oddly-shaped blade, looks like a shingle/shake removal tool (slide up under, use hooks at the top to cut the nails). Next to that, the three thingies with the knobby bottoms, look like sprinklers of some sort. I have no idea why one would have all the other fittings tie-wrapped to it.

The small diameter pipe with the fittings on it is a sprayer assembly. Either to spray row crops with herbicide or pesticide, or fertilizer, or for livestock where you mist/spray the animals as they are herded through a chute where they get inspected, injected, and sometimes rejected.

A lot of weapons were derived from farming implements. The original dual-use tech, if you will.

The one on the far left in the color pic is a dog leg. Usually used to keep said dog from face planting when motivating.

Silly me. I thought those things might be dental tools. I guess the dentist scene in the Little Shop of Horrors has been on my mind.

I’m pretty sure one of those things is the clam-poon, used by Rubin Clamso.

In the color photo, the left-most completely shown one with the wooden handle
is a doll beheading axe. I had a nice blue one when I was a child.

Granted, some of these could serve dual purpose farming/close quarters social interaction devices.
But this is Ye Oulde Blightey. The isle of degenerate debauchery and thinly suppressed depravity. No use blaming Normans and Vikings. Some of these are probably personal massage devices.

Third from the right is definitely a hash pipe, I had one just like that in college.

Guessing wild here. Tools 4 & 5 from the right look like they were made by the same hand (the double pronged tool and the cork-screw gizmo). The cork-screw reminds me of the tool used for tying down rebar. Maybe kitchen fireplace cooking tools?

I suspect there might be an extremely rare miniature version, the hamster-neutering snickersnack.

Dont you have all those industrial archaeologists, i.e. Peter Ginn and Alex Langlands, over there. Wdnt people like them be able to tell you what they were?

The thing way off to the left is a MK I Manual Encabulator.

Seriously though, #4 (the clampoon) from the right could be a fireman’s hook pike or a pike pole for construction (lifting or holding wooden framing into place think Amish barn raising).

The upside down hammer on the upper left and the hammer to the right of it are probably railway hammers – the war-hammer looking one looks like a railroad spike hammer – though it was more fun to think it WAS a war-hammer.

And isn’t that the top of a pole dancing pole over there on the far right?

Third from the left, the one that looks like an over-sized mutant spork (or is that “foon”?) appears to be an early prototype take-down wall-to-wall carpet stretcher. But looks can be deceiving.

That thing to the left of the hash pipe is a peavey made by a drunken blacksmith.

Y’all crack me up.

Yes, the sprayer looking things are plant sprayers of various kinds. The thing with the ball on the end is for stunning hogs before butchering them. And that’s all I know for sure.

Yeah, somebody like Peter Ginn could probably explain most of them (if only I had him on speed dial!), but lots of tools were regional and sometimes very, very local. Like, down to a single blacksmith, or a farmer that described something he wanted and several of his neighbors fancied one, too.

Terry Pratchett pointed out in a couple of his books that yer average peasant had access to a variety of weapons that would make a cavalry soldier wet himself. Even today, if you tried running through Smithfield Market bent on mischief at two in the morning you’d come out the other side as mince.

one appears to be a logging Pike… Used to maneuver logs in a pond. cork screw is VERY remoniscent of a Cannoneers “Worm for removing debris from the bore Prior to swabbing and reloading.

Saw these somewhere. No telling what these are from, probably from some old tractor.

Looks to be implements to care,feed and maintain a Field Artillery piece…Howitzer! I see lighter rope holder, squib extractor, ball on stick to check for blockages, barrel reamer, axes and adz for carriage repair.
