More what the heck are these antique tools
 

Anyone have an idea what these 2 items are?

The first one looks like some sort of wrench. The round knob on the hook end rotates. It is 15 inches long and heavy solid metal. It has raised letters A 10 on it.

And not sure what the second one might be used for. It almost looks like something like a dough cutter, except it has a sharp point. 12" in length.

Could the second one be for cutting the blubber off a whale? Size scale would sure help.

As indicated, it's 12" in length. :)

Poosible strap wrench for #1 if a strap will fit in slot.

The first one looks like it may bevel or bead something. Maybe fold and crimp something.

1st one looks like a tool used to roll 45 gal. drums??

The second one looks like the knives they use to cut open rounds of cheese.

avb3, do you mind if I steal these pics and post them on another site? Easier yet I could just post the link....

the top one looks like what i use at work to tighten or loosen stubborn big valve handles by increasing the leverage but not really.
im going with barrel opener type unit or lifting a cylinder lid...
the second one is for something i dont know what it does.

Please do. We've put them up on facebook also but have had no real success yet.

I was thinking for opening crimped on lids. See DP 45.

Grizz

It looks similar doesn't it?

Second one Looks like an old peat brick cutter.

Sorry the size indicator doesn't show up in the pic on my computer.

Yes, peat block cutter is a possibility.

I posted this because it reminds me of a tool my Grandfather used in his trucking business. He bought oil for his trucks in 45 gal. drums, to pour the oil the spout was threaded on with the barrel upright then tipped on its side. A tool like the one pictured was used to turn the drum so the spout was on the bottom. That was 50 years ago so I'm not entirely certain of what the tool looked like.
