Picked these up at a going out of business sale

Hello. Again, I defer to the better researchers in this group. Nice job on figuring that out, Mike.!!!!! Town of Geddes is somewhere between where I live, and where Amecks calls home, maybe even closer to Oldrencher. Always like to see the local connections, Lou

Even though those were probably made for wood shingles I'm not so sure I would trust that as a roof jack. I could see it maybe as a snow catcher.

Good work guys!  Geddes is local - a close suburb of Syracuse.

Looks like you found it Mike!  I can't see where it's marked 15 on the tools, still looks like a 2 but it could very well be a misprint on the actual tool.  Either way, thanks for the help guys!

The first one looks like a cobbler's glazing iron head.  I have not see that pattern before.  The second one could be a strap clamp.

EDIT:  Sorry; I did not click on the link for the second one to see what it was before posting.

Hello, I agree with Bill, the only thing that this had to grab was a wood shingle, you were then relying on the shear strength of the existing nails, and the gripper teeth. My guess on the patent number is that these were also hard to remove, a few hammer whacks to release it, number could have been de-formed after repeated use (or mis-use). My $.02 worth, Lou

The first one is a smithing stake.

If you look on page 123 of Salaman's Dictionary of Leatherworking Tools (Fig. 2:106), it describes this corrugated type of cobbler's glazing iron.

wvtools is correct.  After his first post I searched ebay for cobbler's glazing iron head and found a lot of them and one very similar to the example I have was in the lot.  Thanks everyone for your input!
