The answers are (1) a vintage hand drill, often known as an "eggbeater drill" because its handles are similar to the one on the kitchen tool. (2) It was used for grinding coffee beans, and the grounds would fall into the drawer below. (3) This electricity-free iron would have been filled with hot coals to smooth out wrinkles. (4) Hearing aid, ear trumpet, ear horn—call it what you want, this object would let sound in from the bell to the piece in the ear, amplifying noise for the hard of hearing.
