Check the OD and the Threads per inch.
Should  be pipe taps.

Yes, confirmed, the ones on the left are all pipe taps. I used a scrap of 1-1/4" black iron pipe I had from a project a little while ago, and it's an exact match. I didn't realize the threads per inch were the same across pipe sizes, I thought they varried like bolts, but I guess. NPT should have given me that clue :P

Anywho, if anyone is interested, I'll do $10/tap +shipping. $15 for the long ones. Though I think I'll keep one of the 1-1/4" taps, as I like using that size pipe for welding projects...

1/2" & 3/4"   are 14 TPI
1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", & 2" are 11-1/2 TPI
2-1/2"-10" are 8 TPI

On a threading machine you only need a couple of die heads - 1"-2" and 1/2 - 3/4"
For fire sprinklers you use 1"-2" 99.5% if the time.  Larger pipe is grooved.
