Any ideas on what these might be? The one piece is made of brass and looks very old and well made the other looks like it has four screwdriver heads on it.
I don't see any stamps on them.

The first is a right angle screwdriver, as been said. This style was offered by many companies.

I think the other is some kind of leather or clay sculpting tool ??? :dunno:

The one does look like a wiggler, like Tiggi mentioned, or maybe an extension for a ball socket swivel? Was the original owner a machinist?

Jake, I think you nailed it. Maybe clay or wax sculpting.
I also found my smallest c clamp today. Tiny.

Not for leather. Possibly burnishing metal. If this is outbof the same hoard as the last set, I am starting to be curious if your previos owner was some sort of mold maker.

I did find some bricks of wax wrapped in paper but didn't grab them and wondered what they were for. So now that I got some info from here I am thinking a wax/clay carving tool. He was also a fly fisherman and tied his own flies, maybe this attached to a fly tying vise. But I think with the residue on the ends of Wiggler?? its probably for clay or wax.

You jam that tool down in the fish's belly to dislodge the hook.

Bricks of Paraffin wax were common when people canned their own food. Specifically Jams and Jellies. I have no idea what that rod shaped tool would be for though, sorry.
