They are for poached eggs although I don’t know what they are called. My grandmother had some.

These are definately tastevins that the french sommeliers used to use in wine cellars to test the taste and colour of the wine. You can still see waiters in the french restaurants wear these around thier necks, more for tradition than for use.

I sold some in an estate sale that I gave. They’re Sommelier Cups for wine tasting. Cheryl

The tool is a fencing plier. It is a multi tool for putting up fences, the blunt side can be used as a hammer, the pointed side can be used to pull fence staples out or to hook the loop end of a fence clip, the jaws cut wire, the jaws hold a nail to pull it out.

I believe these are for picking up bread crumbs on the table cloth used with a soft brush.

These are for holding teabags after dunking. They usually come with a small strainer that fits over the top. Used in England

The “tool” I beleive is for cutting the nails of the shoes of a horse once you have re-shoed them. My grandfather had something like it and that is what he told me.
