I'm normally not very good at these, but enjoy the challenge of trying
to figure out what they are. The only one I have a reasonable guess on
is:
1891. If the protruding thing on the top rotates, then the device looks
a lot like a retractable chalk line my father used to have. He had a
similar tape measure, but 8" looks like a might big diameter for one of
those.

1892, no clue.
1893 looks like either a farm equipment tie rod end, or
maybe an A-frame from front suspension.
1894 is an incense holder. I've never used one, but friends
have.
1895 looks like a plub bob.
1896 is a DOS based fingerprint scanner. It was from about
1984. Seattle Washington had about a dozen made for their
central processing jailhouse, and I'm just guessing.

Which side of the device were you on? The working end (entering
persons) or the research end (being booked). LOL

Nope, this one actually has a function.

Correct, it was sold as a chicken egg tester but it didn't work as
advertised. Basically a quack device, this is the one that I was alluding
to in my OP.

This answer is correct.

They weren't just in Seattle. I saw a half-dozen
of them in a junk shop surplussed from the county
of Sacramento.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always:
1891) I believe this to be a drum magazine for a Thompson
submachine gun.
O.K. Now I'm *sure*. See:
<http://mikesmachineguns.homestead.com/thompsondrums.html>
and in particular:
http://mikesmachineguns.homestead.com/files/39rd_drum/39_front.JPG
which suggests that this is a 39 round "XL" magazine, not the
larger 50 round drum.
1892) Looks like combs for neatly running three wires parallel.
I've never seen them in person, so I'm just guessing that such
existed somewhen.
1893) From the size and the color, I suspect that this is a link
for something in earthmoving equipment, perhaps a bulldozer to
allow tilting the blade.
1894) For running wire into a groove. Made as a field repair part
after seeing the ones used in the factory I suspect.
1895) The shape looks like a bullet -- perhaps about .30 cal, based
on the scaling from the length. However, this seems too long
for normal muzzle velocities. The cross-drilled tail is to turn
it into a key chain decoration. The material is wrong, though
it might have been a normal bullet which was chrome plated for
the decorative function indicated by the cross-drilling.
1896) This one looks like a the monitors for a CAD workstation, but
I don't see the keyboard, mouse, or digitizing tablet.
It looks to have a coin slot, which might suggest that it is
really used for photocopying in a library. Hmm ... perhaps
a microfiche or microfilm reader with the ability to make copies
of individual pages, which would suggest a library for technical
purposes.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Reading this, as I do, in a text-based newsreader on a text console
(yes, the 80s called, they want their internet back), perhaps we
need a "what is it?" quiz where we're given the name of the object
and then have to work out what it really is. I'll start:
1) "Sex pendulum"

general answer for the large yellow part but I haven't been able to nail
down its exact use, the rest of them have been answered correctly:

Indeed. Fresno Co was getting these about the time I was quitting the
SO.

Maybe 1892 is a predecessor to Starretts' Wire Gauge (model #281, etc).
Sorry if this has already been guessed.
