Trying to find out what the iron rod on the left might be. It is threaded on one end and tapered and curved on the other.
Also the glass objects are a mystery to me. They are hollow. They look like glass drinking tumblers, but the walls fold in like a funnel and they a hole pierced in the base. I suspect they are some kind of insulator, but I've never seen a type like these before.
The iron piece may be a tooth from the bucket of a power digging machine or a drag- harrow for leveling a recently plowed field.
The glass pieces are really cool. Without the hole in the bottom they would be ink wells, but . . . ? They could be drawer pulls. The attachment screw would go in through the recess on the "bottom" which is really the top. Again . . .? Or they could be insulators. :-)
The glass looks like 1800's telegraph wire insulators.
The two rusty items are; tooth shaped item is one of the teeth from an old farm harrow, used to smooth the ground after plowing. And the second rusty item is a broken blade off of a hay mower.
The two glass items may be old neon light insulators??
In keeping with the 'farm implement' theme of the suggestions about the iron items, I'd wonder if the glass things are old electric-fence insulators??
