333 - mute for a "brass"(i.e.: trumpet, trombone)
336 - some type of hydrometer for measuring specific gravity of a liquid.
337 - Thought rasp, but surface looks almost like non-stick treatment, so
maybe an electric griddle surface of some type.

The greatest headaches are those we cause ourselves.

336 looks like some kind of syringe or pippette that you use to hold
something. The scale is probobly for measuring what you are picking up
337 looks like a close up of a meat hammer
338 looks like its a stake of some kind

333. mute for trumpet etc.
334. can't guess
335. starting a fire (?) (not smooth and flat enough to be an optical
mirror)
336. specific gravity of fluid
337. beating your meat
337. can't guess (at first i thought "tent stake" then thought "no way" i
am curious about this. at 14" it's too big and heavy to be a tent stake.
tried to guess the material it's made of. tin coated copper, galvanized
steel, aluminum? something to do with electric transmission equipment?
some sort of anodic material? magnesium? that would be a absurdly large
spike.)

335: you're using the polished end of the soft drink can as a reflector
to start a fire.

335. You are actually using the soda can to measure the height of the
tree in the reflection.

334: Does that toothed collar spin freely? Then I'm guessing
it's some kind of power jar opener or cleat remover.

333) Mute for Coronet or Trumpet (I saw this answer, as I came in at
the wrong point in the thread -- but I agree with the answer.

334) Wrench for removing jar lids -- probably something like olive
jar lids -- flat and not very tall.

335) Inversion of image by being outside the focal length of a
concave mirror.

336) Hydrometer -- for determining the specific gravity of a liquid.

Perhaps for acid mix in lead-acid battery fluid, since the
specific gravity range is entirely above 1.00. Alcohol proof
hydrometers would read below 1.00, I believe.

337) Rubber friction grip on something flat? The shape of the
projections is wrong for it to be an extreme close-up of a file,
and also wrong for a waffle iron.

338) The scale might be about right for steps on an electric power
pole, but I would not expect the hook to be two-sided.

Perhaps to lay cables on in a cable run between floors in an
industrial building?

Enjoy,
DoN.

Actually no... for beer and wine they read above 1.00 as well.

You measure the 'wort' before fermenting and then as you bottle it. The
difference. which relates to the amount of sugar converted to alcohol, gives the
alcohol content. You generally bottle at just above 1.000, or just below for
some wines.

The difference between the SG of alcohol and water, combined with the fact that
after fermenting there are still some high-density solids in solution, makes
direct alcohol content reading for beer and wine using a hydrometer impossible.

Distilled spirits might be another story.

Once again, they have all been answered correctly.

333. Trumpet mute

334. Jar opener

335. The polished can is used to start a fire, as seen on this site:

http://www.trackertrail.com/survival...dchocolatebar/

part II of this page has more practical ways of making one of these.

336. Hydrometer, I found this in box with a number of pipettes and a
microscope.

337. Meat tenderizer, I put up a couple more pictures of this one on the
answer page:

http://pzphotosan62.blogspot.com/

Also on this page I posted a link to a site that has a video of the optical
illusion ring in motion, although I think it looks a little better in
person.

338. Tent peg

Distilled spirits might be another story.

And distilled spirits are what are commonly rated in "proof",
which is what I referred to.

I still think it looks like a saccarometer. The range is right, although
most are scaled in "potential alcohol" as well as specific gravity.

Not at all... it is labelled from 1.04 to 1.00, and you could easily use it down
to 0.99, ie it would work for every kind of beer or wine.

Ah but you were using the 'not for proof alcohol' argument to argue in favour of
it being a lead-acid battery hydrometer, which is what I was disagreeing with.

In fact a healthy discharged lead-acid battery has an SG of 1.12, and charged it
should be 1.265, so this particular hydrometer would bob around like a cork on
the ocean in any liquid that came out of a battery.

An OG of 1040 wouldn't do for several beers I've fond of. Which I
suspect means it wouldn't do for a lot of un-fermented wine worts
either.
