Ignition/magneto tools.

The screwdriver end could be used to open or close the point gap, and for the screw that holds the point plate down as well as for the condenser mounting screw.

And not uncommon as part of, say, a motorcycle tool kit, where you needed the most tools in the least space to cram into a box on the motorcycle that was cleverly engineered to be just barely big enough for the tool roll, on good days.

The only way I know to identify them is search magneto tool on eBay.  Sometimes they will show up with a correct ID.  There is another possibility and that would be search old car and tractor websites for tool lists.  It's a shame they aren't more easily identifiable.
