Wow, only Edgar would know what that battery is! I found a bunch of these Edison-LeLande batteries in 1982 at a long abandoned mine north of Nome, under the eve of the roof so they had filled water and shattered when they froze. I found one that had all the pieces and brought it home and had it in the basement all wrapped up with flagging to hold it together. I went to the Henry Ford museum in Detroit in about 1995 and saw that they had an Edison display and figured I had finally found a home for my battery. I also have a small mostly full bottle of the "Edison battery oil" that was used in them for some reason. At home I got the battery out from the back of a shelf and laid it on my big work table, turned my back and it rolled off and onto the concrete floor and blew up into a million pieces. I could hardly speak for hours I was so distraught that I had done that. Bad. All that time and I blew it. I soooo badly wanted to preserve that unique item. So, no one's close on anything else except that brass item in Pic 9 is likely an extinguisher; I'm not totally sure on that one myself. What is the set of tools in the front of that? Jim has the right idea on #5 also, but it has a very specific use. That's not the correct lid though. Too small.
