I'm sure you know the wooden curved thing with a hole is a shoehorn.

The thing to the right of that is a thumb screw. The other one, with the hole, looks like a guitar tuning screw (maybe someone had a guitar, since they also use thumb screws.

Yeah I knew about the shoehorn I have one my grandfather gave me. And yes he was a musician so guitar tuning screw fits. The one that I was really wondering about was the one on the top left of the second image. It looks and feels like silver but seems too heavy. Any ideas?

the shoehorn looks like it might be made from buffalo horn.

that was pretty common back in the day on the better made ones.

The leather case looks to be a blade cover for a machinist's square. The logo is from General Tools , a maker of lower end precision hand tools.

Thanks, J.K.
