Beeber - BDS - Busch - all stainless gouges (?) that were in a wood carving set .
Cant find any data using beeber stainless variations in google search, lot of beer and bieber cr@p.
Anybody familiar with these?

My guess would be that the tools shown in the first picture are dentist tools or other medical use not for wood working.

OK, that makes sense as there are what seem to be custom blades also. Likely he found something he could adapt as needed.

I would guess that they are carving / sculpting instrumants.  The top set look like wax or clay working tools , and the bottom could be used for that too or for wood carving.?   Ralph

I would agree. Dental tools.

I think the top tools -were- dental tools, but adapted for wood engraving. They look really similar to a box of engraving tools I have.
   Think woodblock printing.

The bottom ones are called mill knives and man it is unusual to see so many together! 
Brass frames are pretty common, these were made forever. Still are I think.
But solid nickel frames are not common.

Scott,  I was eager to hear your thoughts on this matter and believe that, as usual, you are right on.   Ralph
