Quite a nice haul. I would guess the first chisel makes it all worthwhile. 


No clue what the 6 identical grooved things are, but would not be surprised of
there is an ID and everyone present says "Oh! I should have seen it".


The pin-and-hook wrenches all appear to be micrometer adjusting wrenches. Tough
to tell for sure what they fit without having them in hand, but they look like
the most common Starrett design. The hex could also be, but I don't recognize
it. I have several 229 handles in a drawer somewhere. Once in a while, I even
find a use.


The 453 is a very useful square. VERY useful. The blade with it is probably the
one I get the most use from. I have scales and other squares. This comes out
when I need the angle capability in a space too small or awkward for a bevel
square. Like when I tried doing dovetails in 3mm thick stock. Not real
successful.


Congrats on excellent shape recognition skills.
