Thank you all for your responses. I see the curtain rod use with the round ones for sure. The square ones for tool crib tags make sense. (no pasteboard disks were found with these in the toolbox). I'll need to look up tool crib tags to see what that application looks like. Now I'm curious about that. Thanks again. Jmalle

Does anyone have an idea what these are what they were used for? Thanks. JMalle

Thank you Scott NC and JHCC! I really appreciate your expert eyes and help! And now another question for Frosty, and anyone else who can help......Besides my Dremel tool to clean up the rust, what is the best rust remover? Naval jelly? I have a box of hand tools to clean up and welcome the advice. Thanks, J Malle

Thank you both for your kind replies. This is great insight and information! As requested here are more pictures. I hope they are what you were looking for. My grandfather was a boilermaker for the B&O railroad.

Two hand tools from my grandfather’s tool box that I’m looking to identify. Thank you for any help with this! JMalle

this is a bottle opener from a company in Chicago that made and distributed cigars. I'd like to know if anyone can tell me what the opposite end, which has two tools, was used for? thank you. Jmalle 4220E819-71CA-48A0-9B7C-03F58E7612CC.heic

Thank you both for the insight into these tools! Very helpful. J. Malle The two chisels that look like they were modified into bottle openers is an interesting take on them. I'd have to try them, but I would welcome other thoughts or opinions on them as well. I never saw them used for that, so I'm wondering if there was a specific use for them as a tool. Would anyone else here on the site have other resources or websites I could check ? Thanks

Hello all, I finally posted some pictures here. Let's call the top row pictures, left to right, 1 through 4 second row, left to right, 5 through 8 and the last one number 9. Again, my grandfather was a boilermaker for the B&O railroad. I know some are chisels, and specialized pliers, but number nine is of special interest! thank you for any help here

Can any members here help me to identify some tools? My grandfather was a boilermaker for the B&O railroad from 1927-1957, and I'd like to know more about them and what they were used for. I can send pictures to assist. Thank you. J Malle
