No. 2 like a small nut cracker flat base on 1 leg and pointed on other
No. 3 works in reverse to tweezers (press together and tips open)
No. 4 I think may be horse deco ?
No. 5 was found @ framton cotterell dwralley its pewter coated in silver there is a 3 feather emblem on bottom was it used before george lll ?

Interesting items. I think 1, 4 and 5 are all harness mounts. The second are indeed nutcrackers. Don't know what No 3 is sorry.

That's the usual size for 18th to 19th century nutcrackers. See here for similar:
