This one is curious. As a generic mechanical doodad, it could be from anywhere. It makes me wonder if there is some wordplay involved… is this a gauge of flatness (of music? tires? soft drinks?)
I only knew three (1, 2, and 20) – I guess I should play more games 
Especially ones which let you carry around a grandmother…
Isn’t the letter from the baron from de baron?

Fairly sure 20 is Oppositely Opal
The game goes “a bit weird” if you try picking up that item without doing another thing it wants you to do first. I didn’t feel like playing it after that.
I was thinking it would be one of those flatness gauges where you measure the variation in height of a surface?
I keep feeling like I should know where this is from: like one of the more mechanical sections of The Wand or some puzzly parser game (or for some reason I want to say like The Shadow in the Cathedral or Metamorphoses? Something with a certain voice to the prose?), and I have a vague feeling that it might have been either a red herring, or something that you have to have to solve a puzzle but its use isn’t described in detail? But I’m probably imagining things.

I’m pretty sure that game contains a puffin feather but not a penguin feather.

This reminds me of the old Bloom County comic strip where Binkley tells Opus “The truth, Opus, is you look more like a puffin than a parrot” with a diagram to back it up. To which Opus responds with another diagram: “The truth, Binkley, is that you look like a carrot.”

Yep!
It’s not from any of the three games you mentioned, but your feelings about this one are not a million miles off-base.

I know everyone’s deep into IFcomp games at the moment, but for the six clues not yet guessed, here is a second inventory item from the same game:
9. The Book of Weird Names, The Ecology of Root Vegetables
13. Red Glasses, Birthday Invitation
15. Pandora’s boombox, gold toilet seat
17. Ivan’s grandmother, a top hat
18. a flat gauge, a second long metal rod
20. a penguin feather, a mouth tile

9 is Bureau of Strange Happenings, right?

I haven’t played Hand Me Down, so if both of those items happen to appear in it, that’s a pretty big coincidence!
@Lionstooth, @mathbrush and @Morningstar have correctly identified 9, 18 and 20.
