Mystery objects

See here for successful identifications of mystery objects

W
hile compiling the transcriptions of the entries from the Cambridge University Library catalogues we came across some drawings, usually without textual descriptions, that we just couldn't identify: can you help? In some cases we know what they are (for example the adze below, but we do not know where they come from). If you do know what the objects are, or where they come from, that are shown below then please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

It has been suggested that the middle object in the first image of Add.9455vol2_p.59/ 5-7 is a key, the other two objects are unclear. In the second image of Add.9455vol1_p199 the bottom object is a set of handcuffs.
