Wow. I actually recognized something.

521. Phonograph needle?

522. This is used in sewing, but I'm trying to remember the details as
to how it's used.

523. Not a -clue-.

524. Ditto

525. Candlestick

525. Stamp for sealing wax.

521: Gramophone stylus

522: looks like the tool used to cut the holes for stitching/lacing
leather. This one apparently would make holes for three paralle rows
of stitching.

524: some sort of a marking tool? I could see using it on wood or
leather, or with dressmaker's carbon paper on fabric.

525: Hmm. could be a lamp finial, but I suspect that it's a seal for
use with sealing wax.

Reading other people's answers to this one, I have a new theory-- it's a
candlestick on one end and a stamp on the other. I.e., you put the
candle in the top part, drip it onto an envelope, and then the stamp
part is pulled out from the base to seal the wax.

It's a device that makes it easier to bend wire into whatever shape that you
need.

Last year one of the objects featured on my site was a wire bending jig,
it's number 167 and can be seen on this page:

Number 523 in the current set of photos is too large to be one of these.

Or it might be for making rows of holes in a pie crust.

Posted in the wrong thread first. Whoops.

521 is a gramophone speaker/tone arm.
522 carpet seam tool? Pie piercer? Dress pattern transfer tool?
523 climbing exercise thingy. The pegs slide in the slots, and you
climb
in a pseudo hand-over-hand fashion.
524 screen thingy
525 wax seal for sealing envelopes
526 "slim jim" for jimmying car doors?

I was thinking more along the lines of a pipe (or conduit) bending
jig.

A wire bending jig is a tool used to bend wire into required shapes
repeatedly. The pins or posts that you bend the wire around are usually
moveable into different holes to change the shape of the wire object.
Picture a board with lots of holes and a few dowels to move from hole
to hole to change shapes.

I thought of that when I twigged to the dimensions, but pipe/conduit
benders wouldn't use rods, they'd use curved channels to avoid kinks.

I think it's a jig of some type, but for what... I'm not clear at all.

Except that sealing wax is quite different from candle wax --
much more opaque and much more brittle.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure about 522 being a grinding wheel dresser.

Take a look at this...

Here's a tinyurl of the above address...

I've seen these things in the flesh, their 'star' wheels are stamped out
of cheap soft plated garbage.

Here's a grinding wheel dresser...

Thanks, looks like you're right, the seller told me it was a grinding wheel
dresser and I went with that, but your link has proven this to be incorrect.
I always try to verify the ID of a tool before posting the answers, now I
know why I couldn't find a wheel dresser like this one.
