big one in the middle is a nail puller. I think the round crank one is a valve grinder. Lower left one looks like a can opener.

The central item looks like an old nail puller. The handle with three concentric circles is for brushing livestock, mainly horses I believe. Item at 1 o'clock is possibly part of a tool for lapping valves. Screw driver at three, followed by snap ring pliers, gasket scraper, and the green thing might be for notching hogs ears. The rest elude me at the moment. Looks like it came in a bucket from a farm sale.

Green handle on left is a saw set.

Pliers on right are "parallel pliers". Although I've never seen ones before with a chain nose. Nice!

Above that is a pry bar / screwdriver.

Above that appears to be a radiator fin comb.

Between the green thing and the nail puller is what appears to be a "marking gauge". Perhaps a Stanley rabbit gauge.

Green one is a saw set for hand saws. Large pointy one lower right looks like a bearing scraper for babbitt bearings, next up pliers of? Then lrg Screwdriver, the carbon scraper,
Valve grinder as posted, nail puller, Can opener as posted, Raker gauge next to green saw set, top left two can't see well enough.

So the carbon scraper and the babbitt scraper, how and where are they used?

Thank you! I am enjoying learning.

The brass tool is a Craftsman. Some sort of file?

Brass Craftsman tool is a vixen file holder, used for smoothing lead in bodywork. real handy for wood and fiberglass. The tool to the right of the green saw set is a Stanly **** Marking gauge for marking mortices for **** hinges. The saw set is a version of a Stanly 42, but the green makes me think a kunz.

Carbon scraper - inside combustion chambers, tops of pistons.

Bearing scraper - used for fitting babbitt bearings which are typically large to very large. Bearings are torqued to specifications with blue dye painted on, then dis-assembled and the high spots are hand scraped. Procedure is repeated till you have a good full contact finish. Babbitt bearing metal is very hard metal crystals suspended in softer metal so they tend to seat themselves into form eventually. If you get a chance to poke around in old mills you can see the babbitt squishing out from the bearing bosses which are just tightened down more until it's time to refit. Plain bearings are 2 or 3 layers of different metals with the top being a type of babbitt with some give and lubricating characteristics.

Good to know. I have one similar to that and assumed it was an old scraper designed to be sharpened. The design does look like it would do curves well.

I put my notes on the photo.

The "wisk" thing looks like a grooming tool for horses.

The "hand drill or hand pump" is a valve grinding tool.

The "scraper" is a carbon scraper. Could be a Plomb, Proto or other. Clean it up and find out.

The tool on the bottom right is a Babbitt scraper for bearings.
