These two look to be for clay sculpting. The one on the right I used often in grade school art class.I've no clue about the double ended wire gadget, and the flat scraping? thing has been well used, whatever it is.

I agree with Johnny. They look like clay-sculpting tools. I also used similar ones in school.
Ok. That kind of makes sense. I wonder why mom stuck them in with the rest of the pens.
Now for the utterly unfounded and absurd speculation. I do wonder if the clay sculpting tools could also have been used in testing concrete mixes for construction. That's a total leap on my part. G-pa the civil engineer made bridge-strong concrete even if he didn't have to. The folks who had to dig up the well head he made on the farm were not pleased.
Wow, some very creative forces at work on making vintage looking office spaces. I will have to clear my work desk and take a picture of it for here. My desk is an old metal desk, perhaps from the 1940's. It once belonged to a drafter but is not a drafting table. On the corner is a clamped on twin bulb florescence lamp. The desk pad on it has a mechanical drawing pad insert with vintage advertisements on it. Aside from using it for business issues, I have loved the size of the drawers for storing things I want to keep handy, from shoe polish and brushes, pens, pencils, camera equipment, batteries, scissors, measuring tap, medicine,some small tools, eye glass repair kits, current bills due and at times, cash for heading to the casino!
I would be lost without my desk. Oh yes, my computer sits on it also.
Also, what are the large square fiber board things called that people write on? The ones with leather at each corner. Just tying to find one.
Thanks,
Mike
