tools of the trade

I have been posting a few of these photos from the handling collection on my blog, trying to get people to work out what they are.

  1. The first one is an iron, but the other three are more mysterious. No 2 a pair of tongs, but for which perpose? No 3 looks like a pair of scissors but doesn't have sharp blades, maybe it's something medical, why am I thinking of umbilical cords now? And of a bird's very long sharp beak making rattling sounds... No 4, with its pretty ornamented handle and tiny hook like a crooked come-hither finger is the strangest one. What would you pull out from where? It unsettles me.
    I think if I had only seen one object I'd feel different, but seeing them aligned together a sinister air prevails. Give us a clue?
