243 appears to me to be some kind of cutter. I have at my parents house a
wire stripper, which is some what similar to this. I'm thinking for this,
maybe a strap cutter, for cutting straps off of packing skids.

It could be a wire stripper, but I don't think it's a cutter because the
part that looks like it cuts doesn't get close enough to the other piece.
The wire in the last photo is an example of what happens when this tool is
used, probably the same would happen with a strap.


247, I believe to be a baling hook. This handle makes it easier to handle
hay bales which are wrapped in string. It can also be used for dragging
milk
crates.

It's not a baling hook...

I'll post the answers to this set tomorrow, along with another set either
Wed. or Thurs.



236 may possibly be a link remover for working on bicycle or chain saw
chain.

238 is very obvious to me. It is a P-38 military can opener.

240 may be a shoe stretcher.

241 appears to be a drill gage.

I found a link to the answers. I didn't do too badly.

I have a pair of those hooks from when I went riding (horses) every week.
They fit into loops at the top of my riding boots, enabling me to pull
them
on easily.
They're boot hooks. Mine are identical, grooves and all, to the one in
the
photo.

Correct, it's a boot puller.

236 looks a bit like a pipe flaring tool.

240 is a car battery terminal spreader tool. Got one.

This one isn't for flaring pipes.

Correct

I was thinking it could be a horse shoe nail trimmer thingy, but the
very
narrow slot says that the nails they drive through a horses hoof
would be
much thicker, so that can't right unless it is a small version for
use on
ponies

My second thought is of it being something to do with squeezing or
crimping
things, so could it be an early wire crimping tool? We may never
find out.

Final thought here is of furniture upholstery and the likes. Could
it be
used to grip the edges of leather when it's pulled taught over the
furniture
framing? It's another guess that doesn't go any further. :-) LOL

When and if you do find out what it is, please don't go without
telling us.
:-)

I just verified that the tool in question was used in typewriter repair
to adjust the type bars.

A new set of photos have been posted if anyone is interested:
