Pretty much standard fare. I particularly like the "Yankee screwdriver"
The last pic is of two turnings. I don't know if Grandpa made them or what their purpose was.
On further inspection it IS a YANKEE NO 36. North Bros Mfg Co, Phila PA USA. Patent dates run from '95 to 1900.
look at the patina on the handles, that takes many hours of use to create. If you used one of those screwdrivers for 5 minutes a day, it would take years. The turnings look like clock finials.
