It was only a guess. The small profiles would suggest a small machine, a Swiss Automatic rather than a turret lathe. Could be brass as an alternative material. But really I don't know.

I wonder if the owner of those chewed his fingernails as well as his tools? 
Turning ivory?

Ah Peter! You've got it. They are Ivory cutters for an ornamental turning lathe. I have scores of them, all beautifully made of of high carbon steel and sharp as razors and unfortunately no use for them!.

Too easy I suspect. But you never know, where and what? (Don't bother googling it, this is my pic....)

It might be your pic but that doesn't matter to Google. The Google Reverse Images search will match it easily to similar ones on the web. You and I are caught out with that! Beaten by AI!

You hook it over a ladder and hang a bucket off it when working on a chimney?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 26 Feb 2021, 04:45
Almost but not quite Peter. A bit more complicated than that. Never seen one used on a chimney.

Is it an adjustable ladder standoff?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Two ladders, two of those hooked on, plank between.

Well done Gloria, you remembered correctly. These were used on ladders as a sort of scaffolding. Here's Peter Tatham using them on his house in Tims Terrace, Milnrow in 1986.

Well done Ian, You now hold the record for instant recognition, The chess set was brought home from Belgium WW2 by my dad in 1944, being a non smoker he would swap his cigarettes for little gifts for us.
