They are called "T" handled tap wrenches".
The larger one is a Starrett 93-C and is one of the best ones available.
Normally gets around $15 or so in clean used condition on eBay.
The other one looks like it could be a Greenfield, but many look exactly like this.
Probably worth used about $5-10.

This is an extremely useful design of tap handle.  If you do any metal work, or car work, or anything like that, hold on to these.
