a couple whatzits

[Boiler]

Need help with identification for a couple tools:

1st is marked C Stearns Syracuse NY and I assume is some kind of tool / file / saw holder...

2nd is a pair of sockets, 3/8" drive, marked Bonney TCL5 & TCL7 (1/4" and 5/16"). Not sure what you call them, or their purpose.

Any ideas?

The bits appear to be old style Clutch drive. Can't help on the first.

The sockets are "clutch" type.

E. C. Stearns & Company, actually, and you are correct - it is a holder for small tools.

I believe a file would be the most common application, with the tang extending inside the handle...

The first looks like a handle off of an old wood burning stove, but it is not quite right to fit any I have seen. Is it a file handle with that clamp?

I have a screwdriver like the Bonney bits that I got for something on a carb
