Need Help IDing These Tools

[eastmeetswest]

What were these tools used for?  They all appear to be hand made wrought iron, and each has a different tip.  Thanks!

Hand wrought screw eye lag bolt. Now for what? No idea!

I'm taking a wild stab here, but they seem like general purpose tools, kind of like a crowbar. We used to have a woodburning furnace and used a very similar tool with the round handle and hooked end. It was used to position logs in the burning chamber and to open/close the hot door.

If it was my listing I'd call them iron or wrought iron pokers or pry bars.

Are these really lag bolts? - the threaded sections appear decoratve and each tip is different

Good point, pun intended! I know very little about tools. My response was just a starting point. Should have put a question mark at the end of my suggestion. Hand wrought screw eye whatnots! Parts of them do have a screw section, sometimes in the middle. Customized for something particular.

Thinking of some listing points now - hand wrought tools, antique whatsits, 10% discount for correctly naming .....

Love the discount feature!

Wood working gimlet tools? Something for blacksmiths? Adjust your engine on your Ford model T? I give!

I think they are leather tools or button hooks

They look like some kind of sculpting tools, maybe for sculpting clay? One of them looks like a hand bit.

One of my favorite parts of selling at country flea markets (other than the money stuff) is when the oldtimers can identify the whatsits that I pick up because they are interesting.  But nottaclue as to what they are.

If you can wait until May  I'm pretty sure I know of at least 3 who could tell what these are.  And not even argue with each other about it. 

And yes, I have given discounts if someone can identify and wants to buy.

Some kind of old Textile Weaving Loom Tools?

This reminds me of an episode of my favorite show---Andy Griffith.  They were having a yard sale and someone asked what an item was.   Andy said that if I knew that I'd have to charge you more for it.

They look like a antique handmade cooking skewer set like the ones seen hanging in this listing;

Not saying that they are, but it's my guess.

Hoof picks, they were part of a set of hand made farrier tools (I asked my grandad lol)

[eastmeetswest]

Farrier tools (hoof picks) makes a lot of sense to me.  Thanks to you and to everyone who replied - I can always count on this board to come up with answers.
