These were in a box of bottles that I got a couple weeks back, from an auction. The quick stick one is a broken glue bottle, I think… I am leaning towards part of a pipe on the white one- but the last one, I am really stumped on. A straining funnel? A tiny megaphone- (Leonard?) another pipe? If The other is a pipe bowl?

I am totally stumped! So many possibilities racing through my mine. All of your thoughts are quite plausible. Part of a candlestick came to mind. Someone will know something. All look Victorian to me. Qwikstik is a type of glue cap/dispenser. Two links, one to a post from this site and one to a complete one on Ebay.

The glass/black metal one looks like embossing on the glass that might shed some light?

Maybe a candle snuffer on the middle one shaped like a bell?

Or could be some type of old medical devices (although I don't want to think what).

If that is a metal base on the large, could it be a door knob? If it is cork or rubber, maybe a decanter top.. Some

Good ole American make do in pics. I'll go out on a limb and guess the ceramic originally might be an interior insulator.

I'm pretty confident in saying that none of them are pipes. I think an insulator is a pretty good guess for the ceramic thing, although I've never seen one like it. The funnel thing looks somewhat reminiscent of part of a breast pump, although not a design that I've seen before. What does the embossing on it say?

Oil lamp pieces?

The porcelain one has Scorch marks 3/4ths of the way up …. Like a pipe? (Did they have pipe bowls out of ceramic or whatever that is?)The glass one had red crosses around it? The original k-cup coffee pod? A straining small funnel? Well it looks like it was an important part for something. Having poured a lotta candles, my head went there too.. but it would drip wax all over- but strain out the big chunks? It would make a nice holder for burning Incense sticks .

The item with the crosses on it is an old Red Cross Germ Proof Mouthpiece (patented May 3, 1910) for an old candlestick telephone. These are VERY valuable and originals sell for $300-$500, I believe, though I'm not really up on current prices. They have been reproduced, but originals with the metal portion are rare and valuable.
