The hammers are obvious.
The six wooden things in
THIS PICTURE are paddles for shaping and spreading hot body solder. The hammer in the lower left corner is what's known as a shrinking hammer. The serrated face of the hammer is used to shrink stretched metal. The thing in th lower right corner is either a sanding block if it's rubber or a dolly if it's steel.
The things in the lower right corner of
THIS PICTURE (and other similar flat things) are called spoons. The upper one I believe would be a slapping spoon used like a hammer for shaping metal. The one in the extreme lower right corner is used between the hammer and sheetmetal to spread the affect of the hammer blow.
This collection is indeed a treasure. You will probably only wind up using a couple pieces - this is a working man's lifetime collection of tools that could be used to metal finish anything that would come through the shop.
Great find.
