Arrow makes staples/staplers. Could it be a staple remover?

For some reason the picture page won't open on my iPad.

The second one looks just like the rug hooking tool I used back in the 60"s.
I agree with QuilterVagabond that the first one might be a staple remover - very early versiion! |
The second is definitely a needle for sewing heavy cord, as in repairing sails. I bought one when I thought I could fix the canvas covering our boat.
Staple remover makes sense for the first. Wonder if Google ID works for objects as well as faces, lol. |
Not sure what the first one is; it kind of looks like something you take the top off of a strawberry, the second one I believe is called an awl (pronounced all) and is used to punch holes in leather.

I used to have the second tool when I used to restring catchers mitts for the kids in the neighborhood. I figured out how to do my daughter's that was given to her, and suddenly every kid in the neighborhood needed theirs done. Lol!
|
I used the second one for cutting out designs rubber stamps in high school.
|
I'm thinking that second one was one handy tool to have in your drawer...
|
I believe the first one is a small like tool to pull the yarn through the awl or rug hook.
|
We are curious about #1 also. We got one in a box of old kitchen utensils. Been wondering what it was used for.
