1239 looks like it could be used to trim the ends of a barrel even.
1242 is a pocket-hole drilling jig.

1239 - Cuts bevel on edge of circular bucket bottoms that fit into stave groove.
1241 - Her Majesty's pickle fork?
1242 - Agree with Stewart on drill jig.
1243 - "Crampon" for horse hoof when walking on ice.

1243 is probably a calf-weaner. It's not shaped right for either of the preceding suggestions.

1241.Meat carving/serving fork.When not in use "backside" tines go into meat,and carving knife is laid atop it with blade between tines,and handle in"saddle".
At least thats my opinion :)

Hi - I also have a 1241 - and have also been told it's a carving fork - although I can find no other similar examples - however, I'm about to go online looking for a four piece carving set - thanks to a lead...will leave details if I get lucky! :)
