Added a few more photos today:

Along with answers to the previous set, which includes a photo showing the
entire object seen in #248 and an explanation of the multi-tool in pic #249.
I was doing some research on the web and finally confirmed the answer to
#237, which we had previously determined to be a modified Starrett nipper.
It is actually a typewriter repair tool, used to nip the back or front of a
typewriter bar. I found one just like it on ebay:

Based on this, I'm also changing my answer on #243 from "either a typewriter
tool or a wire stripper" to definitely a typewriter repair tool, since it
was found in the same tool box as #237. According to a typewriter expert on
the web, #243 was used for adjusting the type bars by bending them one way
or the other. Several people did post these answers correctly, but I had
been unable to verify them until now, so thanks to them for pointing me in
the right direction.
