Howdy, 

Well I will take a crack at the identification challenge!? One object I can certainly identify is #9 which is part of the contact portion of a model t Ford coil.? You can see what the entire assembly looks like at:

This is what makes the high voltage to fire the spark plug.? I just had to do some work on one of these since my model t finally runs!? :-)

Regards,

Stathi Pappas
