Also known as a bill hook- grabs the twine from the needle and makes the knot for your square bales during the tying cycle. looks like the top item could be a bull leader with one prong missing

The plier looking tools are carpet tack pullers.  I have a pair exactly like those (see below pics).  Look on the end of the top handle and see if they say "Bi-Ped" on them.  Not sure if you can see it in my second picture.  I found an ad on EBAY for them showing a 1905 patent date.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/1905-BI-PED-CARPET-TACK-PULLER-TOOL-FOR-CARPET-MATTING-AD-PHILADELPHIA-PA/272511676263?hash=item3f72f62f67:g:6asAAMXQVERS0Gpo

May be a knot tool. I can't find a photo anywhere. The piece at top is a bull lead with one side broken off. I did find a photo of one of those.

Sorry, northkid, I didn’t notice the second page of posts to see you had already identified the part! As usual day late and dollar short!!
