    Don't spend $3200 on a trepanation kit, you can get cordless drill and even the bits at Harbor Freight for under $50.

      All jokes aside, at this late date, (1890's) these surgical tools weren't used to let demons escape, but rather, used to relieve pressure following a concussion; a procedure which is still used roday.

    That last item looks like a water sprinkler that is used while ironing clothes.. Sprinkle some water on fabric then use a hot iron to get a steam effect getting out stubborn wrinkles or steaming a pleat line onto pants . Just a guess, i have seen something similar but not exactly the same.

      I am 85 years old. I grew up using a sprinkler. They never only had one hold. They had multiple small holes to actually sprinkle water on the wrinkled clothes. I do not believe this is one.

    I didn't recobnize the match-holder as such, though I should have, but I did recognize the Odd Fellows chain logo.
    The folding winding handle provided the clue for the tape reel; I think snap-lines have a similar rewind mechanism.
    I agree with the two posters below me that the last item is a clothes sprinkler. I've never seen one made of metal before, though. The top reminds me of some 'spring water' bottles available nowadays.

She stayed in the Odd Fellows home for a few years. But I never knew much about them. But I remember that chain from stonework on the building that had been their meeting hall at one time - but I totally didn't know/remember the letters :)
