The first item is definitely a scraper. The hole on the underside may have been for a handle. The second item fits in a blow torch, I believe. I think the third item, the leather thing, would hang from your belt and hold a sharpening stone for a scythe.

+1 with dowdstool across the board on these. No. 1 would be uncomfortable to use without a handle, so I would agree it probably had one at some point. Whenever I see a scraper that came from a farm, I tend to think of hog butchering rather than cabinetry. This would not be the ideal tool for the job -- most hog scrapers have a belled blade and a straight handle - but it would fit with the "make it do or do without" philosophy of an old farmer. No. 2 is clearly a pressure pump from some sort of gas fueled device. Possibly a stove, but not a Coleman stove, the nut that holds it to the fuel reservoir doesn't look like a Coleman part. Pressure lamps generally used a seperate pump, so I'm thinking a blow torch is a good guess. My first thought looking at No. 3 was also that it was a holder for a scythe whetstone. Generally they were made of horn or wood (though now of plastic) as they held a little water to help keep metal from the blade from filling the pores of the stone, but I did find a posting from a fellow in England who gardens with traditional tools where he talks about the leather holder he made for his scythe stone. Just my two cents worth.

Second item is definitely from a blow torch, looks almost identical to the pump assembly on my Clayton and Lambert plumbers furnace, but the C&L ones have a little lock down feature to hold down the handle once done pumping. That may be a Turner or Bernz one.

Turner I'll say, show me the pump handle and I'll tell you.

C.S. Osborne Co. still sells a bearing scraper similar to your No. 1 item. ( http://www.csosborne.com/brscrape_1.htm )   It goes to show that there still is a demand for babbitt  metal bearings I guess.

I believe the item on the Osbourne page is a block scraper, to scrape a butcher's block when cleaning it.

I'd go for a butcher's block scraper, but very similar are used by bakers for cutting dough. Wood scrapers of this type are also found, especially for cleaning paint stencils of wooden crates/packing cases for re-use... although they often have a handle at right angles to the blade, c.f. a veneer hammer...
