2875 String/cord tightener or slack eliminator. For a long curtain or
blind cord. Wedge the excess length into the two narrow slits with the
extra loop in the middle.
2876 Smudge pot. Burn smokey oil for light, heat or warning.
2879 Grease gun.
2880 Counter/accumulator. As small groups of events happen, stick a
pointy thing in a numbered hole and rotate clockwise to the stop on the
right.

2876
Looks like it might be a pressure regulator for a pressure cooker.

2875 - Looks like the handle of a corkscrew
2876 - Looks like a mini soap dispenser, so presumably for dispensing
something other than soap?
2879 - Rivet gun?

reasonable guess this week.
2876: Attaches to a rod and is used for dousing candles?
2879: Used like a caulking gun, although I can't tell exactly what it's
supposed to apply.

Posting from my desk top PC, as always.
2875 looks a bit like a cable link, for auto brake cables. The cable had a ball at the end, and it went into the center, much like a beaded key chain.
2876, maybe hanging oil lamp, or citronella for Mrs. O'Leary's barn.
2877, no serious guesses.
2878, not much idea.
2879, one of these, maybe. Grease gun, rivet tool, sausage stuffer, caulk dispenser, or??
2880, maybe part of a safe and vault combination lock?

2875: looks like it is for cable or string of some type. Maybe joining cables for a bicycle?
'76: small oil burner/censer?
'77: not a clue
'78: small self feeding drill press. I don't know what for, but it looks like it might be part of a pipe tap setup
'79: not sure. Doesn't quite look like a pop rivet puller. More like a lubrication tool. Maybe for injecting oil into a ball stop fitting on a machine?
'80: looks some kind of counter, but it appears that the left hand dial might be a fraction vernier. It is maybe a fractional revolution counter? or a 10 count tabulator/accumulator with an auxilluary ones index for ease of use?

The last one is correct, the patent calls it an adding machine.

I think old oil lamp might be correct, closest thing I could find to it is some
antique campaign torches.

I like this theory, I couldn't find any proof for it, but it sounds good.

folding fork tool and the drill are still unidentified, or at least unverified.
Occasionally in my opening post I don't mention if I need help or not, but I
will
try to be more consistent with that in the future.

Good job on getting that one Lloyd, the owner said he took a closer look at the
back and saw the Enterprise, which led to him finding a similar one.
