POST14_TOOL53. This steel tool is approximately 6½ inches long. The serrated projections on the bowl-like end are sharp but not razor sharp. The inner hole of the bowl is also sharp.

POST14_TOOL54. This metal tool is approximately 4½ inches long in the closed position. It creates two cylinders with inner diameters of approximately 3/8 of an inch. There are numbers, warnings and a name stamped into the metal. I have hidden them in the pictures but will provide them as hints if the tool is not recognized.

POST14_TOOL55. This tool is clearly in the metal plyers family. It is almost 8 inches long. The jaws have a rubbery red plastic coating. The set screw can be adjusted to limit the closed position of the jaws anywhere from a ½ inch gap to fully closed. The jaws do not open wider than 1 inch. The edges of the jaws are concave/convex.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yjcdqoscds..._PIC1.jpg?dl=0

POST14_TOOL56. These two metal tools are approximately 3 inches long. They both have removable screw-on parts on one of their ends with holes passing through them. There is a small cavity inside each even when they are fully screwed on. They both have solid points at the other end. The black steel point on the end of the brass one is removable as well.

The last ones are plumb bobs for a transit. I have one of them for my brass transit, ca 1900.

Yes. (have one, too). Further, the "cavity" remains to contain the line
knot, so that there's nothing outside that might imbalance the bob.

53 is a chalk marker. It perforates through a pattern into (usually)
fabric and allows chalk dust to mark the cloth.

#54 is a fuel line quick connect tool to disconnect quick-connect
lines. Looks like a Lisle. I have a couple in my tool box.
\
#55 is an adjustable gripping pliers. The thumb screw limits how far
the pliers can close - the padded jaws protect the work

Three of four have been correctly identified. TOOL53 has not. It has no moving parts. That is the tool retains it shape, up to some flexibility of the metal, during use.

almost 8 inches long. The jaws have a rubbery red plastic coating. The

O.K. I can try a guess at these. I would suggest that they are
for breaking glass along a scribed line. The plastic coating is to
prevent chipping the glass from the force of the jaws.

BTW -- it should be "pliers" not "plyers". :-)

POST14_TOOL56. These two metal tools are approximately 3 inches long.
They both have removable screw-on parts on one of their ends with holes
passing through them. There is a small cavity inside each even when they
are fully screwed on. They both have solid points at the other end. The
black steel point on the end of the brass one is removable as well.

No URL present for this, but I've tried modifying the previous
one, but that does not work. Changing the "TOOL55" to "TOOL56" coes not
work, apparently the scrambled alphanumerics between the "/s/" and the
"Post14" are some sort of key.

However, at a guess, from the description, I would suggest that
these are a pair of trammels -- designed to clamp onto a ruler (or a
yardstick) to act like a pair of dividers, but with a greater distance
between the points.

Or perhaps plumb bobs, where the screw-in part accepts the line
and a knot retains it in the remaining cavity.

Enjoy,
DoN.

O.K. Now that I can see the images, they are plumb bobs, not
trammels.
