Couple of mystery pieces, help?

[unitas]

We found a few pieces on our trade site that we
aren't too sure about. Perhaps someone out there
has some idea what these items are.

Item 1 is pictured first,three views.



Item 2 is the top piece above the lightening awl.
Could it be a file?

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure about the others, but the bottom one is an awl. Some call it a lightening awl, due to the shape.

Old thread, I know...but I thought I would help with the identification, even if it was just for one item.

Cool finds!

The bottom one is an offset awl.

Could the first one be a bashed-up two-tine fork with the handle missing? Wild guess.
