Got these three items in a bag with a box of stuff.

The first is some sort of feeler gauge, but it only has 6 blades. The top and bottom blades are uncommonly thick for a feeler gauge. The top is marked G B 210 in an old style. the blades have no other markings.

The five cylinders with knurled handles have no markings. they have a small hole in each end, but the it's not a through-hole. Perhaps a ram or a gauge? They seem to graduate in standard sizes from 1/2" dia. up to 1". Did I mention there's no markings?

The third looks like a part to something. One surface is convex, the other concave, both eh same curve as if one would nicely fit inside the other if you were stacking them. A large hole is bored almost all the way through, past the four side holes. The wing bolt at the end can be tightened so that it extends into the area of the four side holes. Almost looks like a rod or tube with holes near the end is inserted, a locking pin inserted from the side, and the wing bolt secures the assembly.

Any help will be appreciated.

I think the outer leafs of the feeler gauges are just to protect the other 4. I think the cylinders are plug gauges for checking holes. Last one I don't know, but I could swear I've seen it before.....

Plug gauges or pin gauges (as per txvwnut) appears to be correct. Sure makes it a lot easier to find when you know what the name of something is! THANKS ALL!

I believe the feeler gauges are for some specifi application, which is why they're not size-marked. The four inner gauges all look to be the same thickness. The top and bottom outside ones are much thicker, but these are of different thicknesses to one another, so I don't think they're just covers, but they might be.

Given that the other items are inspection tools, I wonder if that odd one isn't some sort of feature specific check gage. Looks like it could be used to measure the depth of a bore.
