Please help me identify what these old sewing tools were used for. I have just been given a large old sewing basket brimming with mysteries for me! It belonged to a lady from Germany who is in her 90s. three have wooden handles. the red plastic one I think is simply a magnet. I am particularly interested in the one with the spiked wheel. It has what looks like a small shoe horn which I guess is a finger shield.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Thanks for such quick and helpful answers. I'll have to delve deeper into the basket. Best wishes from SW France!
