Found vintage archery tackle, a friend of mine was at a sale and found these arrow building items. Some look pretty old, I don't know. I tell you they seem well built. Can anyone tell me about what I have? Some are self explanatory others I have no idea.

I think I see a Hoyt Tri Fletcher, a Whiffen fletching jig clamp, a serving spinner, fly tying tweezers, broadhead blade, arrow clamp, coil heater that screws into a lamp socket, a Black Hawk taper tool set, heavy curved sewing needle, a Bear Bowstring, and some nocks, points and feathers. Don't know about the string on a stick (linen?), what is in the polishing compound tube or the sleeves and other piece on the paper. That's my guesses and I'm sticking to 'em.
Haven't seen any of the old liquid Ferr-L-Tite for quite a while. Tried it once, liked the stick better.
I'd like to see a better shot of the broadhead if you could.
Hinged two-piece block is probably a "sanding book" for sanding a shaft to size while it is spinning in a drill or lathe.

looks like a groove down the middle of the halves for a shaft and sandpaper to me, but I'm that's from my perspective of reading about and using such things...
I'm gessing the hinged block is to dress the base of feathers, also. Though, it does have a groove and may be a shaft polisher. Multi-use?
The linen twine ("cod line") on a stick with wingnuts may be a serving tool. The plates are adjustable for pressure on the serving thread when paying it out while wrapping.
On the other hand, I have seen old fly-tying vices that look like that. The little spring clamp is a hemostat - AKA "Hackle Pliers"
I will post some close up pictures.

I think we are clear on this last one being a feather clamp, for fletching or grinding the base.
