    Can anybody identify the purpose of these tools?
    The first looks as if it might be used for catching and straining a thread. It has a moving fulcrum which slides along the shank.
    The second has a cup which may have contained something, perhaps rubber, or hide. There is some residue that looks like resin.Click image for larger version.

    The tools are not related in any way.
    I believe the second tool is a scoop for measuring Tea. I'm sure it's American made from the late 1940's to the 1960's.
