    Mystery tool(s) of the day #1...

    I believe they are saw sets for setting the teeth on a handsaw before sharpening it.

    Liquid electrical tape - who's using it?

    Works great if you have a cut, or hole in an ATV seat.

    Why Plomb?

    Thanks for the replys everyone, very interesting. Thumper, too cool! ARAMP1, The man that originally owned this tool worked for railroad companies all over the country before starting his own garage business in the fifties. So in the 30's and 40's he was working on steam locomotive engines...
