   It's a "Hamm-longer" for all those hard to reach places that you just need to knock nails into.

   Is it a combined cane, hammer, pole and a 'de-barker' for small threes?

   It is a sprinkler head for a building that is always on fire.

   Is it...an oven rack puller?

   ok, it's really a fuse puller for High power lines on the poles.

   A dead-fall hammer?

    I agree with #9 Tim that it is a high voltage fuse or ground clamp tool, probably made by A.B. Chance

    It's a glowstick for the international tooth day celebrations.

    It is obviously a kickstand for your nose.

    This is a non-sparking Porduk taphammer for adjusting wire spokes on zeppelin landing gear. Prior to landing the 2nd under-porter would inspect the wheels for trueness while suspended in a harrison rig. In 1925 a suspended under-porter became alarmed by a closely passing church steeple and dropped his taphammer from a height of 144 feet, killing a mule.

    After this a new landing system was devised which exposed the aircraft to unknown hazards.

    a tool used to open manholes

    It's a door-stop, to add more security to an already locked door.

    It's a long-necked reflex hammer for doctors who are afraid of getting kicked by their patients.

    its a failed champagne bottle opener design. you slide the open end under the cork and yank down on the other end. it makes it easier to open and keeps you a safe distance away from supersonic corks!

    Its a copper tubing bender.

    It's a "Conductor's Friend." It was used by railroad employees to trim the nose hairs of hobos, without having to get too close to them.

    Looks like an old valve stem puller.

    Looks like a tool for glass blowing.

    Obviously it's used to harvest eggs from under hens. The hammer taps the egg out of the nest, while the hook part keeps the hen's legs out of the way.

    looks like a special wrench of some sort.

    It looks like some kind of ball joint remover, maybe for a tie rod.

    i think it's a stuck pinball remover, for pinball arcade games. i bet the orange side is magnetized.

    Its a feeler gauge for checking the valves on a rotary engine like on an aircraft.
    Or it could be the worst design for a tonsil remover ever....

    It is a stick to make sure that your man follows you wherever you want him to. Just hook it onto his nose, and , literally, lead him around but the nose.

    His head won't be turning to look at any other girls anymore.

    Looks like a wheel tapping hammer (to check train wheels are sound) - except the plastic bit on the end would mean it didn't work.

    It looks like an old tobacco pipe. They were made out of ceramic, and they were long like that so that after one person smoked from it, another could break of the end and keep smoking.

    No one got it right, but Andy #19 won a t-shirt for funniest guess!

    Its a vaporizer tube for a gasoline stove or lantern of somesort. The plastic caps on the tubing cover/protect threaded portions.

    Interesting observation - this was used (and useful) at a time when the locking studs on cars all had a knob at the end to make it easy to grab. Unfortunately, that knob also made it easy to grab with a wire forced through the window. At some later time, all locking studs were tapered to prevent that. (Anyonw know when?)
