A little more info on what they seems to be made of and size would help on an ID.

With just the photo to go by, they look like homemade suction cups, but only if the black section are made of rubber.

Thanks for the replies. The shop is a wood shop in one half and was a machine shop in the other half. I'm having my brother send more pics with something to reference size. The cups aren't rubber they are thin metal. I'm guessing tin or something similar. Thanks again guys.

They are scrapers for removing hair off a hog when you are butchering. They use to dip the hog in hot water then roll the carcass out and scrape all the hair off down to the skin.

Hey thanks guys. Just looked up hog scrapers and that is exactly what they appear to be. My brother and his wife inherited the shop from her father when he passed. And they are going through everything to try and clear out some room. So I may have many more items to list on here that we can't figure what they are. Thanks again.
