The knurled collar looks like Goodell-Pratt - if so, you should find their name on the smooth part at the "top" - the wing nut end.  There are Goodell-Pratt catalogs online; just search on "Goodell-Pratt catalog" and wade through the irrelevant Pinterest posts and suchlike.

If the needle-like things were fluted - probably straight flutes if they were - I'd suggest drill points (old phrase for the straight-fluted drill bits used in eggbeater drills).  But they don't appear to be, so I'm stumped.

No clue on the other two.

I'm pretty sure that the brass cups are scale weights. Also one of them looks like it has "oz" on the rim.

needle like things? maybe a small hole gauge / drill size measures?

I have a couple of Radio Electric tools.  One is a reamer, so you can make your radio fit its motherboard correctly.
