A carburetor (fresh rebuild?), a tablet with a phone number jotted on the back, probable Formica beneath, possible cell phone, and some hunks'a ahrrn with machining done to 'em.  Don't know why they're shaped that way, but suspect that three pieces of square tool bit material may have gone into the grooves.  Source of these items? Circumstances of acquisition?  Was anything else with them?

"I'm not changing the date on my camera, if you do not like it.......tough tushy."  I notice that it is showing April Fool's Day . . . . . Deliberate?  or luck of the draw?

First I thought the far left one was a knock-out cutter.

I think you have more bearing and/or bushing  tools.

Yes there was alot of stuff with them, all mixed, do not know what else may have been with these pieces originally.

No! Put them by your press. (If you don't haveva press yet, but you continue down this path, you will eventually get one.)

If you really are going to scrap them, sell or give away. They are one of those handy things that when you need them they are nice to have.

I have a press and I was going to possibly stick them by it but using them in a press will eventually disfigure them and so the term scrap came to mind

Before you scrap them or squash them, see if they fit the porta-power...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

No need to do either now, that one threaded part goes with the other deal in the other thread, now to only figure out what the one on the right is for.

A press shouldn't disfigure tools. How fast do you pump it up?
