Don't make me come over there!  What are these things?- the red tool with screw, the curvy things under the T handle drills - looks like two different things, and of course, the tool to the left of them, some kind of thread die?  What thread patterns?

I have has a small thread cutter in my machinist box forever.  Last week I used it for the first time.  The Erie adjustable wrench pin had 12-24 thread and it was lightly damaged.  And I didn't have a die.  I pulled that tool out and it appears to be all 24 thread in different diameters, the largest being 12-24.

PS - I like that Lufkin Pocket Cruiser Stick - never seen one.

Hello, Al. The red tool with the clamp screw is a Marples Holdfast for a bench. The curvy things are old school downspout brackets! The tool at bottom is a Die Stock, and the small pieces are the dies, most likely for a jeweler, or, a watchmaker. The Lufkin Cruiser Stick is for gauging tree heights, for a Logger, or, a Forrester.  Thanks for looking!
