Brett did a killer job with this cover!

I made a bunch of my own covers using the synth. Some got featured by Wired.com and some took 8 hours! Hope you like them :)

I've never seen anythng like this, but I guess what this could be used to - Looks like steel or cast iron to me, and it has those reversed letters protruding from the surface... This could be some rotating part of a press - you could turn the ring changing the numbers/letters that eventually get pressed against some softer material - paper, copper, lead.
Am I at least close? :)
Fun to do this anyway!

I believe it is to hung on a small valve on the rising stem part of the shaft to indicate when it was turned on or off by the controlling authority.The valve would be for gas or water.

it has characteristics of a spark plug gap tool, but obviously it's not for spark plugs because it's measurements are far larger than needed. i'm at a loss. it's photoshopped!

This is a mold insert for adding a datestamp to manufactured goods. You slot the insert into the mold in the proper orientation, and the date shown is molded into the product. This particular model appears to be from 1956, since the dates run are of the form "m-yy" and the yy is 56.

It looks like it's attached to a cog to increase it's size. The inner teething are about the same size, but it increases the width between teeth.

Well, that's my guess.

I believe it is a ring to be hung on the rising part of a small stem valve for the control of water or gas by some controlling authority. It can be read backwards by the use of a mirror.

It's like a stamp, but not really. It's used for etching a number into metal. You put the desired number face-down on whatever you want to brand, then whack it on the back with a hammer.

It couldn't been used for dates or months because the caracter are fixed, and are 15; then maybe it was used to stamp the size of some tool like 01/56 or 15/56

Unfortunately the name of this little beauty escapes me at the moment, but obviously, just from looking at it you can tell its creator was a visionary, the provocative bumps and flat finish are a combination rarely seen today. These are useful in many circumstances, e.g.: some guy shoots you a snook in church; an idiot is trying to argle-bargle your girlfriend; that guy with the chainsaw doesn't know when to stop; a couple of weasels are bothering your chickens; or even when some hockey puck needs his firkin realigned. I guess that's enough for now, those are just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are plenty more times when this would come in handy.
