I have two candidates where I'm unclear on whether they are a tool. Any help would be appreciated.
1) Marked "W&B" on one shank, and "No2" on the other.

2) Marked only with 87139 - it has a rod with a hooked end that sleeves inside what appears to be the attaching end. It is spring loaded inside the sleeve (and knotched to provide a travel limiter)

First one is for removing drill bits from morse chucks.
Not a clue on the second one...

Thanks, Rusty! I know exactly where I need to use it now - Champion Blower & Forge drill press
I have two others I neglected in the original thread.
3) About all I have is - It may have had some chrome looking plating at one point.

The 4th is clearly a tool - but for what, by who, and at what time I can't make any headway on. It is wood handled. The working end (while appearing to be a nutdriver) has a ~1/4" (FAT) socket that appears to accept a very very very small spline ~30 count.

The first one is Whitman & Barnes (in case you don't know)...

I didn't! Thank you.

I *think* #3 is a lid lifter and grate shaker for a coal cook stove......

A speedometer tool of some sort maybe? I'm no mechanic just thinking about all those little plastic adapters I've seen in catalogs for speedometers.
the working end of the wooden tool #4

The spline wrench socket looks a lot like the spline hole on a Maytag wrench. I do not know the function of that wrench. Maybe one of our hit and miss engine guys can give their two cents worth.

On No.3, I agree with it being a stove tool, the 3 sided socket for turning the clinker breaker, shaker, and the other end for lifting the round lids on the stove top. no.2, I should know, have seen one somewhere,,,

Splines typicly occur on appliances on shafts where you are using a nut to hold a bearing, and need to hold the shaft itself while tightening the nut, easier to make a spline on the end that goes through the nut than to make 6 flats on a hardened shaft..(stronger too)
I can't see a nut driver type tool being helpfull for that tho, usually need a lot of torque to get those kinds of things apart...
Many other things use splines tho, magnetos for example....
Some fasteners that accept screws are initially installed with a spline tool also...
Knurled electrical connectors are sometimes spline nuts in disguise...
Very hard to guess, and it *could* be a general purpose tool, tho I can't say I've ever seen a set of those...
