232. It looks like Sodium Chloride. The edges suggest that the flat surfaces were polished at one point. Once upon a time I used something like this as a sample holder for Infrared Spectroscopy.

Correct, so named because it would always bounce off the installers 'behind' when he walked since it was attached to his tool belt.
>232. It looks like Sodium Chloride...
It's not sodium chloride but you're right about the surfaces being polished.

#230 is an Ice Tapper. I bought one for my mom back in the 50's. You tap it against an ice cube and it breaks it up into smaller pieces for your ice tea. (^: Adele

236. A bicycle chain master link remover.

#237 is an alignment tool (sometimes called a "peener") for old-fashioned typewriters. They were used to 'pinch' or deform the metal of the type bars to force the typeface in the direction required. They came in several varieties. Some had half-round jaws like this one, some had little semi-spherical contact points on the jaws.
