Not sure how this works yet. I have several old tools that I can't identify and would like some help.

You came to the right place Dave.  Welcome from Florida.
You will need to post pictures in order for any of us to have a chance of identifying your item.
Go to the Home page and look for the thread on posting pictures.
It may be a little frustrating at first but keep trying, and ask questions, you'll get lots of help.

Well,all the courteous welcome notes are appreciated. The delay in responding was due to getting a camera and I just can't keep my hands off all these old tools. Many are a mystery to me. 

Here's the first one - It looks like some sort of alignment tool but both ends are machined smoth and show no signs of the abuse you often see in aliignment tools. All it says on it is "ARROW". It is around 8 inches long.

The second pic is of two tools which again suggest alignment.
- The one on top is huge, about 1.5" dia. and 9" long and is machined smooth on both ends, to different tapers and rounded ends. again, no signs of abuse.
- The one on the bottom is a hex shaft with a machined taper to a smoothly rounded end. No signs of abuse or any use at all on this one.

Thanks for any help. More to come. Also. I'll explore the site better and learn more about how I can share with you folks.

From what I can tell, Arrow Tools appears to have been a heavy construction tool firm, specializing in pneumatic and hand tools.  Can't help with this particular item though..........

welcome to tool talk, a great place to learn and teach, plus you have made the day for some members, they thrive on pictures.  this greetings comes from Massachusetts,

 I do not have a positive ID for your tool, but if I may, will make a few comments on it.

 (1) it may be possible that it has not been used ?  looking at the picture, the right side looks like it may fit into a tool and goes in up to
 the top of the square ??

 (2)  I also like the design as a punch, not saying that is what it is, but the design where you could hold the square shank and hit the left side,
        the flare over the shank would direct the hammer away from your fingers on a slight miss. (yes, that happens )

 just adding my 2 cents to the subject.  enjoy this site.
