These are some very interesting tools! I have never seen anything like them before.  Something I should start looking out for at flea markets and such.

On the old Sears bicycle tool, what was the serrated edges inside for?

Speaking of medical tools, I once saw what I think was a ca. 1890s surgical saw mixed in with older tools. It was sort of creepy to me in a way, so I didn't ask how much the guy wanted for it.
