There might have been, I tend to mainly look at posts about wrenches for the most part, thanks for checking into it.

I think we had something like this on here but I think they were supposedly brass. They were on eBay and I may have even started the thread. I don't think we ever decided what they were for.

The others were a set of 3.

I guess I don't see why they would show up in sets if that is what they are.

I have a 1928 and a 1950 Huther catalog.  They made a lot of specialty saws and cutters and saw tools (gummers, set, vises) mostly for circular and band saws.   There is nothing like that in either catalog, so I would go with some kind of display fixture.  They have pictures in their catalog of all the kinds of finger and other joints and odd cuts their cutters make.  It could have been a store display stand that had examples of the kind of work their blades would cut.

Looks like they would be perfect for displaying collectible license plates.

These were listed on eBay, I think it is the same set that was listed before.
