    1747 could be an automatic/ constant mortice and tenon marking jig
    1748 parmesan shaver?
    1749 a gm brand ice scraper from the early fifties
    1750 traffic planning marking template
    1751 the edges look bevelled so it looks like a rope cutter

    1748 is a blacksmith's thread plate for cutting threads on rods.

    1750 is a template for making traffic accident reports.

    1747. Something that is used to lock something up, but what that is I haven't a clue.
    1748. Thread cutter, very old. Perhaps only for wood.
    1749. First glance, ice scraper. I can see some blurred lettering, and the part on the back looks like it is for installing or removing some sort of clip.
    1750. Indeed a traffic accident report stencil.
    1751. Nifty cigar cutter.
    1746. Part of a telegram machine? That's a WAG.

    1746 Is this a machine for embossing metal tags? Maybe dog tags?

    Correct answers so far:

    1748. Screw plate
    1749. Ice scraper, though no one has the correct specifics yet
    1750. Accident report template
    1751. Cigar cutter
    1752. I'm not sure about this machine, but I did fix the errant number from 1746 to 1752.

    >1747. Something that is used to lock something up

    You're on the right track here

    1746- reminds me of stencil cutters, but hard to tell without a close up of the letters.
