And Now Another Round of What the Heck Are These

While doing casual spring cleaning and what we call thrifting at home, a couple tools turned up that we have zero clue as to what they are.  Anyone care to take a whack at identifying these?

Any guesses?  I'm stumped here.

If it works, sell it. If it works well, sell it for more. If it doesn't work, quadruple the price and sell it as an antique.

Second one is for copying and transfering angles for carpenters. Once angle is set you can than transcribe it to other boards to get precise angles

the second thing is used for angles...i believe... so cutting a board you can set what you need and draw a line...

there is a name for it...someone will come along...

 

i've see the first... like a riveting thing?....

1st one is a bunion shoe stretcher. The 2nd is an old T-bevel. The newer ones are digital now.

I just looked the bunion shoe stretcher up and they sell upwards of 50.00, nice find.

Are they just a collector's item? I can't imagine most people a. have leather shows or go to the trouble these days. They just throw them out and buy a pair that's more comfortable.

People do collect shoe stuff, and people suffer from bunions. I guess both would benefit from them.
