There are several sizes here, would you sell them as a lot or individual, i see they cost a lot new, these are like new that is for sure. If anyone here is interested, let me know.

Something that not many people might not know but you can use them on the tail stock of wood lathes. My lathe uses a #2 and along the way of buying junk sometimes I buy bits that use a #2 so I put in a Morse taper sleeve pop in the drill bit and use it to drill out lamp bases.
See you learn new ideas everyday.

They are actually morse taper drivers for drill bits, reamers and the like. Why is it that those that don't need, can't use and don't know always seem to find the best deals? 
Sleeves adapt one size taper to another, drivers allow straight shanked tools such as drill bits, reamers and even taps to be driven directly by the taper. Like a collet without a closer.

Interesting. I'd like to examine that box. I've never seen the split taper Morse adapters before.

there were ten boxes full of these for $5 per box. I bought one. I should have bought them all. I, your right, dont need them and am looking to sell them.
They are for driving a drill, reamer, tap, center drill, counter sink/bore etc. directly from the taper without a chuck. Same idea as a collet just without a draw bar to hold it tight. The morse series, unlike the R8 or some other mill type collets are self holding and thus with the slit, when "thrown" into the spindle, tailstock or similar they compress holding the tool. Not all that common anymore, especially with quality chucks. The tap ones can be handy due to the positive square drive, but the downside is they are so specific to the size that you need a large assortment of them to cover a decent range.
Hey guys- joined the forum some time ago and have never posted til now. Those are what we called Morse taper collets. They can be used to hold a drill in the tailstock or the headstock if the spindle has a tapered bore. The only problem is that you've gotta have a boatload of them for different size drills. I'd go with a Jacobs chuck myself. Hope I didn't overstep my bounds.

They're used quite a lot in production drilling when you run out of Morse Taper drills (emergency use when locally available straight shank drills will suffice or are cheaper to use due to size, etc.)

They also come with a square inside. Then they are tap drivers.

Yes..that's where I believe I know them the most from, that plus the tap drills (long, skinny straight shank) for the 5/16-18 tapped holes on most truck front hub and wheel "hub cap holes"... both on multi spindle drilling / tapping machines..
