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.
