I intend to throw these in the trash but I want to know what they are. Which also means that if you consider them gold I will pay shipping to get them to you rather than pitch them. Curiosity overwhelms me.
Inherited stuff from (probably) a shop that fixed and wound electric motors. Either that or a tool and die maker. And that sums up my two grandfathers. The wide end has a round threaded hole. Picture below. The smaller item in the second picture is just a piece of steel with a hole in it.
Some of the rounded rods below (right) have hole in them. Some do not. Is that thing on the left a cutter for a lathe / mill (I do not know machining). And directly to the right of that, what is that hollow metal tube with a spiral cut in the side?
This has a tip like a flat screwdriver on the top, and the round looking shaft is really like a "tri-lobe" so three partial circles. Odd.
The largest piece of metal on the lower left has writing on it that I cannot really read even with a magnifier. My head hurts from trying.
The top line clearly states "THE WALTON CO". The lettering under that might say something like "PARTF382???" but it is mostly removed. And there is a 6 near the bottom. This is a hollow tube.
The round thing near the top is hollow and has a hole drilled through it. The little pieces of "wire" next to the Walton Co thing, well, no idea. I am guessing that the brass colored things are probably fasteners. The things on the right probably drop into something.
I have no idea but will watch for some feedback before I toss them.
