Looks like you've got a pretty standard set up for a bench in an organic chemistry lab, or even a general chemistry class's lab.

You've got a metal frame for attaching things to, though I don't know what the "official" name for that is. It looks like it's made of aluminum. There are a number of clamps, some with three prongs, some without. Some of them look like burette clamps:

That motor underneath may be a vaccuum pump. The thing with the wire attached might be a heating mantle:

I don't know what the piece of glassware is. It looks like a large test tube with a long, narrow neck attached.

This is a general site that has organic chemistry equipment and pictures:

It's hard to make out what some of that stuff is from the picture. Any chemistry department in any junior college or university should be able to help you with this kind of identification. They'll also have the prices they would pay for such things if they were to restock on them.
