    2664 is for corking wine bottles. It opens to insert a cork, which is then rammed by the piston down the truncated cone, compressing it until it squeezes into the neck of the bottle.

      2660 was found abandoned in the woods, it was part of a machine that was normally used indoors.

    2660: A pointer? Insert a flashlight into the bottom and a small transparency (say of an arrow) into the film holder in the middle to project an image of an arrow during during a lecture or what not.
    2662: for bundling SOMETHING, just not sure what.

    2661 looks awfully like one of those flint dispensers that you could use for your Zippo lighter,

    2659 I believe is part of a gobo projector, which is used to project cutouts made from a steel or heavy paper stencil.
