Off hand, can only think they are very special lathe attachments.  Fitted wooden case points to pre-WWII.

Cases bring to mind govt contracted specials.
Could be for anything.

Thanks everyone for the response. I bought a bunch of car parts from a guy in his 20's. All the car parts were his fathers and the guy had no use for them. He told me the tools I am asking about, were used to measure curb stones and installations. He told me some of the car parts where one thing when I knew they were not what he said, but I think it was just because he didn't know not to try to fool me. So I didn't think his interpretation of the tools was credible.  Here are a few more pics. Thanks again everyone.

On the back of those pieces, it says SANDERSON  (maybe with an "E" at the end but not sure) then EXTRA  then CAST STEEL
