>997 - Might be for pulling on riding boots. The conical hole thing could be for inserting laces in their holes.
You're correct in that it's a boot puller, but the conical hole isn't for inserting laces.
>998 - Doctor's reflex testing hammer?
Nope
>1000 - Whimshurst machine for generating static electricity.
Yes, though here in the U.S. it's typically spelled Wimshurst.
>997. Boothook >999. Woodworkers gouge
Both correct
