I don't understand how the collar would function to do anything...

It could clamp a rubber tube in place? Slide collar over tube, push plug into tube, tighten collar onto plug?

Just speculation :P

Do they have a small hole in the end?  If they do they could be old pesticide spray nozzles.  They make some strange looking nozzles before 1900.

I don't know, but I'd speculate the middle one is just right - not too big, not too small.

My guess is that they are flaring tools.  The collar would keep you from bangjng too hard when hammering these down a piece of copper or brass tube.
