Some have mentioned that it would be interesting to know which group
posters
to this thread are from, so if you feel the inclination please include
this
with your reply.

I received an email from someone who collects scales and weights, he said
that number 244 (the spherical slotted weight that unscrews into two
pieces)
is an old ice weight. I did a lot of searching on the web and couldn't
find
anything on ice weights, so I emailed him asking for some more info but
haven't heard back yet. So if anyone can shed some light on this, please
let us know, or you have any antique books maybe you could take a look to
see if they are described therein.

#266: this is irritating, I know I've seen that, but can't remember in
what
context.

#267: Nut (fastener) that theoretically isn't supposed to work loose.
Usually comes with cheap toys.

Yes, it's a nut but it came from the hardware store so I guess that they're
used for other things besides toys.


#268: Looks like a syringe needle for animal medication, although the
offset is a bit odd.

Your second answer, in your follow-up post is correct.


#271: Looks like some sort of distillation apparatus from a chemistry lab

This one isn't part of a distillation apparatus.
