Hey...I believe I actually know one this week!

1507 - fare collection box for public transportation, sort of a
predecessor of the vaguely blender-like thingy usually seen at the front
of city busses in more recent times.

1508 - Inflator for footballs, basketballs, etc. Doesn't look
particularly convenient to use, with the ball likely interfering with
the operation of the pump cylinder and, I'd think, the needle being
rather liable to bend or break from applied torque and shear. I have no
idea why they didn't use the usual inline design.

1509 - Lever for pulling pipe or drill rods out of the ground

1510 - Clamp to hold...something...while working on it. Maybe for
shaping axe handles?

1511 - It's one of those things that you find in a dark corner of a
toolbox but never knew what it did.

1512 - Yet another cable clamp design, possibly for telephone pole guy
wires.
