Ok, I have to ask. Is the same word for nut
also slang for testicle?

Correct, what I like about the magic lanterns is that they used a flame for
a light source instead of a light bulb, there are some really cool looking
photos of some a the bottom of this page:

I don't have any eggs, but I can tell you that the inside dimension is 1
11/16", probably too large for most eggs.

Partially right, it does screw onto a hose and it's used for cleaning.

This was part of last week's set, but you are correct nonetheless. It's a
book embosser, see the answer link at the bottom of that set of photos.
267 looks like it might be some kind of bullet
268 looks like a bayonet
270 looks to me like its a picture (painting/engraving or reproduction of
same). The subject of the picture looks like it might be a hunting scene
(with dogs, people on horseback and something in the middle near the bottom
that is the object of the hunt, possibly a fox. You can see the word
"Edward" followed by "V" with some more writing ("VA"?), no clue what it
means. No clue as to the usage/purpose of the object either
271 looks like something for taking liquid from some kind of container (or
putting it back into a container), the screw threads look like they screw
into some kind of bottle or jar or something.

As I was one who has made this suggestion, I should state that I
am reading/responding in rec.crafts.metalworking.
266) Some kind of tool for lifting hot objects. It might engage the
slots in old cast-iron wood burning stoves for lifing out the
covers for placing individual cooking containers.
267) A formed acorn nut -- designed to be used to keep clothing or
parts of a person from snagging on the end of the bolt sticking
through the nut.
High-quality ones are machined from a single piece of metal,
polished, and plated with chrome or nickel.
This one was formed by folding petals of sheet steel over a
standard hex nut.
268) Rifle bayonet. I don't recognize the rifle from the design,
but it *might* be a Revolutionary War or Civil War period piece.
269) Wood model airplane propeller, shot end on. This one is for an
engine which turns clockwise as viewed from behind the engine.
There are ones made for CCW operation as well.
270) Hmm ... perhaps an image made by removing the silvering from a
mirrored piece of glass, and then backing it with a black
background? If so, there is probably a fancy term for the
process, which I do not know.
271) Hmm ... it looks as though it screws onto a hose. At a guess,
with reasonable water flow, the bent wire pieces spin, spraying
water all around the device. Thus it would be for cleaning
something fairly large -- perhaps the size of air conditioning
ducting or larger, with a serious flow of water beating against
the walls.
Enjoy,
DoN.
P.S. I see that I was looking at item 260 the wrong way around. What
I thought was a bayonet to attach it to a shaft is actually the
cutting end. :-)
Now to see what others have said.

270 is a lantern slide. Edward Van Altena was a famous maker of lantern
slides. It's just the right size and is quite thin. Try googling his name
and you will come across some great websites with images of van Altena
slides. We have a few old astronomy lantern slides at our observatory.
266 is a real mystery object. It looks home-made to me. Possibly for
dipping eggs for Easter-egg dyeing? The loop looks a bit too big for this.
Please test and see if it can pick up an egg out of a pan of water.

And -- if you want to see what the other type looks like, check
out the following URL:
http://www2.d-and-d.com/misc/NUTS/acorn-nuts.jpg
This particular one has a 1/2-20 thread, so it is significantly larger
than the one shown in the puzzle, as well as higher quality.
It is a quick-and-dirty setup -- just the one image cropped to
reasonable size. No text, no description.
FWIW -- this is a pair out of the box which I had to order to
obtain one for the handwheel on my Clausing tailstock. It had the thin
lock nut, but no acorn nut, which led to it working loose regularly, and
to occasionally gouging my wrist. I'll figure out other uses for the
rest of the box. :-)
Enjoy,
DoN.
P.S. Out of curiosity -- now that you have images, what is the term
for them in Norway? And what newsgroup are you following this
in? I'm in rec.crafts.metalworking, which explains why I am
familiar with the acorn nuts, and why I happen to have some on
hand to photograph.

I can see how that would be rather puzzling. The name is
because the rounded end resembles the actual nut, and the hex part for
wrenching it tight (vaguely) resembles the cap which is found on the
acorn.
>Anyway, the newsgroup I follow is rec.puzzles.
Thank you. That suggests a background which probably would not
offer you experience with acorn nuts. The woodworkers in the
cross-posting list might know the acorn nuts. The antiques people might
deal with them if they collect old tools and such.
Enjoy,
DoN.

Both reasonable terms, and probably easier for someone with just
a dictionary for translation to understand.
Thanks,

The metal is 3/16" diameter, probably too thick for sculpting clay.

Correct, except the embosser is not a corporate seal, these were part of

Well, as nut have several meanings in English, and those translate
into different words in Norwegian, not all of them are slang for
testicle. "Mutter" is the Norwegian word for "nut" as in "nuts and
bolts". "Nøtt" (i.e. "Nott" with a slash through the o) is the word
for the edible "nut" as in "hazzle nut" or "oak nut". The latter,
"nøtt", is sometimes used as slang for testicle, but not very common.
(So many others to use, "familiejuveler" (family jewels), "baller"
(balls), and so on.) (OT: My first cousing got married in California
a few years ago. The wedding menu was Norwegian fish balls, which is
shocking by itself as this is the cheapest dinner varity you can get
in Norway. When the wedding guests lined up, a man said "Huh, huh, I
didn't know that fish had balls." Lady in front: "It must be large
fish though.")

Thanks to you and Andy. What they are called in Norway? Frankly, I
don't really know, but I'll check it out. (I really was puzzled
because my dictionary told me that an "acorn" should be an "oak nut",
so what the h... should a "metal oak nut nut of cheap varity" be? :-))
Anyway, the newsgroup I follow is rec.puzzles.

Correct, I had never seen one before, so I wasn't sure who used them
exactly.
I wanted to mention that when the bottle is put over one of the small ends,
it is then pushed against the wire which opens a valve to release water,
when the bottle is removed the wire is returned to it's previous position by
a spring.

#268: I didn't mean it! In my last post, I erroneously said this looked
like a syringe needle, I failed to read the dimensions. It's a bayonet.

The entire object in the photo is known by a specific term, this is what I'm
looking for, the picture is just a part of it.

An acorn nut is a nut with a blind hole and a rounded end. It stops
the threaded rod poking through as a hazard.
Nuts are made by an automatic capstan lathe. Acorn nuts (turned from
solid) are expensive to make this way, because they need to be held
one way round for threading, then rotates to turn the acorn. This
makes them cost several times what a plain nut does.
This type of cheap acorn nut is pressed from thin sheet. A hole is
punched and drawn into a rough funnel, which can be threaded. A
"flower" shape is then blanked out and the petals bent together to
form the acorn.
This type of nut is commonly seen on cheap metal toys, like kid's
bicycles.
