The item on the left appears to be a boot scraper. You bolt it down to the porch floor, so you can scrap the mud off your feet before going in the house.

Better pics needed for item # 2.

While the boot scraper can be used for mud, I'd guess it got more use for snow..

The boot scrapers got used for a lot worse stuff than mud if you were a farmer. Lots of sh*** goes around a farm under your feet. Wives almost always insisted on scraper and then remove shoes in mud room before you tracked up her clean kitchen floor. I know my farmer uncles and aunts had that always.
