Thought some of you might enjoy these photos. Anyone care to venture a guess as to what these tools were specifically designed for?

Some look to me like bicycle tools, but some are much to oversized in construction for that. So my guess would be coach builders tools, since this is a automotive site and coach builders switched over to cars (remember the Fisher sill plates on GM cars?) at the turn of the century.
 
There's something to be said for having your tools organized and in clear view. Mine are all squirrelled away in numerous tool boxes.
 
I keep looking at the gauge on the left by the oil can, and that is throwing me because it is not very big. So they maybe bicycle tools and that is a spoke gauge.
 
I'm going with what Dave said.
 
that's a tough one..first thoughts were a mech stand for model A type setup..next would be boilermaker
 
There's some heavy stuff there. The wrenches that you can beat on with a hammer and all the lifting eyes for example. The short open end wrenches at the top of the board are for adjusting something. A couple tools look like lathe tools... spanner wrench and tool post wrenches.

Geez... It's got me stumped.
 
a tool maker that worked on bicycles in his spare time is my guess and bought tools from yard sales that no one would ever use.
 
No saws, not a coach builder. No files for metal tubing, probably not bicycles.

This one is powering a generator on top of a mountain in Berchtesgaden, Germany
Each set of tools were purpose built to service each engine.
