Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1701 (May 3, 2017) entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box below the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.
Seriously, can anyone tell me what the wooden objects are, that are leaning against the counter and the bookcase, and what the other contraption in the foreground is ? How or what were they used for ?

Due to Michael’s Store’s close out of the color brown, paintings for the next three years were extremely drab.

@linguist: A couple of them look like tools for bookbinding, something an old-time bookshop might have done for customers.
at the bottom of the page of this link is an engraving showing something similar

The tool for shaving the book pages would be useful for the book seller.
Thanks to mabrndt for the link to the large images. It makes it a lot easier to see the detail in the work
My wife came in and said she was going to Michael’s, so I showed her I Short’s comment.
