On second thought this is probably correct, it was marked as being a spoke cutter, which is similar to your answer.

Correct, as mentioned above.

260 - To be more specific, this is cataloged as a hollow auger. It's sole purpose is for cutting straight sided tenons on dowel stock and wagon spokes. It is not a spoke trimmer which makes a cone shaped cut.
260 - It could cut away material from wood shaft before threads are cut, leaving head on end for wooden bolt or screw.

260. Since we are having an extended discussion on this tool: The end that does not have a cutting surface suggests that it is made for an industrial tool. Note the cut-out for a latching mechanism and the self-aligning surfaces. The weight of the working end also suggests that it is made for low-speed, high-torque commercial equipment.
The large cutting surface implies that it is used for cleaning up the end of an almost finished spoke. Indeed, if it was used to cut a dowel out of stock shorter than the tool is deep, there would be no way to get the dowel out of the tool.

260 - This is not for making dowels. It is only for applying straight sided tenons to the ends. I use the term dowel to mean any long, round stock. A carriage spoke end is similar to a dowel in some cases. The catalog cut I have is from Russell & Erwin Hardware, 1865. It is listed as a hollow auger. The tang end of the sample pictured in this forum is a typical tapered one for use in a hand brace. This one seems altered and distorted.

262 is called a Schlick or slick by masons in this part of the country, used for striking off mortar joynts on brick & block work.
265 is a parting tool or cutoff tool holder used in a lathe compound to hold the cutoff tool.

#265 looks like a tool holder for a milling machine or machine lathe.

>261. Corporate seal embosser.
Embosser is correct, though this one isn't a corporate seal.
>262. We used to call it a pointer...
Yes, if that means the same as brick jointer.
>263. Snake Bite Kit
Correct again, and I just added a link to some of the instructions, see above.
>264. Masonry Nail
Yes
>#265 looks like a tool holder for a milling machine or machine lathe.
Correct.
>260 - A dowel tenoner.
According to the seller it's for a different purpose, but if you have a good link I could be persuaded.
