I found these in a sewing machine drawer of a sewing machine we purchased. Can you tell me what they are? Please?

Not sure. The red ones look like knitting markers to me -- used on knitting needles to mark stitch changes. Is the opposite side metal? There wouldn't be a need for metal in a knitting marker.

If they are different thicknesses then they may be aides to help you sew over thick fabrics - like the french seams in jeans.

One piece looks like it might be a key to a machine box or cabinet. Not sure about the rest.

Looks like spacers used when setting the space on spark plugs on a car (don't think cars have spark plugs anymore)
