1881- punches through an aircraft skin to fight a fire inside the
plane
1883- decorative cap for a sewer vent
1884- well dang, found some details on this but got me no closer to
figuring out what it is. The4re is a key piece of it not depicted.

I thought it was a sex toy myself. :-)
1884 is obviously a 3H Safety Gun. However, I presume Rob wants to know
what it shot....
That having been said, there's one on auction with implements at Ebay,
at least until the afternoon of the 19th:

Thanks, that's a great link, I didn't know what kind of tips were attached
to this tool.

Good answer, fire hose nozzle is correct.

edges of sheet metal together prior to riveting---these kept the pcs in
place so they wouldn't get out of alignment while riveting---several
were/are used in the aircraft industry---aluminum

It works kind of like a venturi to increase the draft in your chimney.

My guesses:
1879 Soldering tips.
1880 Wood fastener for logs/beams.
1881 I would have said soldering tip, but I saw the correct answer.
1882 Hook/eye with screw broken off.
1883 Space heater.
1884 Rivit fastener gun.

1879 - Looks like the pin from some types of racking. I have also seen
something similar on sprinklers.
1880 - Double nail? Looks like a way to attach two large beams together
without being visible.
1881 - Piercing nozzle. Used to fight fires by punching it through the
wall or floor and pumping in the water. Still found in many departments.
1882 - Hose strap. Can be used in many ways. Wrapped around the hose to
provide a handle, wrapped around the hose and hooked to a ladder rung to
support the hose up the ladder.
1883 - Smokestack off a small boiler or small steam locomotive?
1884 - Looks like the handle off an old caulking gun?

1883: a chimney pot? Decorative tile pipe that tops off a
smoke exhaust, adding to the draft and keeping corrosive
smoky products from the nearby masonry. Perhaps also
diverts rain from the orifice.

1883 made me think of decorative smokestacks on old time steamboats.

tubing. Not properly stepped, of course.
1880, no clue.
1881, is totally obvious to me. It's a fire department
nozzle for punching into a wall or ceiling, and then
injecting water spray.
1882, hooks to a strap that goes over a cargo load. It's
designed to catch on the edge of the load hauling wagon, and
is tightened at the other end.
1883, decorative top for a chimney.
1884, I'd want to see from the top. It looks like a rig for
pulling zip ties tight.

Chimney pot is correct, or chimney top, it's from England, c. 1800s.

No correct answers for this one yet, these things are for use in a
particular sport.

Posting from rec.crafts.metalworking as always.
1879) Looks like a tent peg designed to sustain a sideways
load on the ring.
1880) Looks to be more decorative than a tool. Perhaps detail
photos of the points and the wide part might show something
else.
1881) Looks like a propane bottle fired heavy-duty soldering iron.
I don't see a flow control knob, so it is either run very
hot all the time, or the knob is on the hidden side.
1882) A pull release for some kind of hitch?
1883) A wine bottle chiller?
1884) either a staple gun or a cable tie tightener.
Now to see what others have suggested.
Enjoy,
DoN.

If you would like a picture of a complete 1882 let me know. Have a few
at the station. Even have some of the cast iron ones like the one you show.

Looks like a tool to apply little clamps that temporarily
hold sheet metal in place for fabrication. Like the modern
'Cleco' fastener.

Excellent, I'll pass these links on to the owner of it and will also use
them on the answer page.

I noticed you said they found it in a field? Sort of a strange place to
find that, but they have been around a long time. Maybe a grass fire or
a house on the land years ago.

Whoops. I didn't see that you replied before I did.

Yes, I don't think they'll ever find out how it got there but at least now
they know what it is, thanks to everyone who answered this one.
Four of the six have been identified this week, still not sure about the
second item, the answers for this set can be seen here:
