    2606 looks like some sort of vacuum chamber, possibly used in a science class. Or a collection cup, such as the cup on a hand operated pump for bleeding automotive brake lines.

    I believe that 2606 was used in flame emission spectroscopy.

    2607 looks like part of a vacuum device.....I agree with above

    2608 looks like the equivalent of a really strong tent-peg....or a small battle axe

    2610....a foot pedal mechanism for a pipe organ?

    2610 definitely looks like a pipe organ part, but I couldn't tell you what part.
