Can anyone identify these please, I’m mystified.

Clearing out my loft today and came across these in a box belonging to my late husband. I’ve never seen these before and I don’t even remember seeing them when I sorted his belongings after he died, they probably were though.

Google lens is none the wiser, they’ve either suggested bullets, gun cartridges ornsome old car parts. Help!

How big (or small) are they?
Do they have a hole running all the way through them?
Do they have any numbers stamped on them?

Gas refill adapters?

Most are around 2.5 cm long although a couple are nearly 5cm. The hole isn’t all the way through.

no numbers although they do have some markings in a particular place on the side

They look like part of the the attachments that lock my sash windows with an Allen key.

Don’t think they’re gas refill adaptors, just looked and can’t see anything that looks similar, thanks though.

sash window attachment ..I can see what you mean, some of the brass ones are similar

Socket set?

Nope. They do look like they should be something like that, there are two that don’t have holes in the bottom though

Reddit is really good at identifying random things

Drill bits? Quite blunt ones.

They look like things that would be clamped into a 3 jaw chuck, but I can't then imagine a purpose for them...

Good shout, I’ll try Reddit.

Me neither, I’m honestly at a loss 😂.

@rockstuckhardplace I honestly don’t have a clue, I thought something similar but some don’t have a hole on the bottom

Are they replacement gas jets for a cooker?

Along these lines:

They look like inserts that go into holes drilled in a large piece of wooden furniture - they seems to have indentations on the flat parts (mainly) which could be a bolt inserted into the wooden furniture at right angles to these inserts - they are there to stop the bolt from simply pushing further into the wood - I've seen similar inserts used to hold wooden bed frames together.

However - you haven't said if they are all the same size (they seem not to be) or given a diameter so it's hard to tell. It's probably an item of furniture (from Ikea perhaps) that you no longer have.

I'd say I'm about 30% confident in this suggestion though!

Are they a set of small weights?

Hope this helps

Ikea type shelving unit parts that support shelves?
If they have tiny holes in them they could be varied jets for hot gas knives used for animal health purposes or cutting plastic building materials?

Ohhhh you might be onto something with the welding.

Dh (and me) used to work at an aerospace factory and one of his jobs was a spot welder (welding pipes for aircraft wings with a big welding machine that used to belong to rolls Royce and was very old. dh did have a habit of keeping random shit from work.

There is someone I might be able to ask, an ex colleague of ours who used to work the same machine on different shifts. He might know.

i really can’t see it being shelving unit supports or Ikea furniture parts, I know what a pp means though but they’re a different shape, also made of brass.

Top bit of the objects look similar don’t they, another possibility!

I did think of that

Dh did love his ikea furniture come to think of it and he did keep random shit.

I can’t see the shape being similar although the markings on the sides are a mystery

Was he into classic cars? I'm pretty sure that they are carburettor jets the numbers on the side correspond to the jet size in thousands of an inch

As mentioned earlier, Reddit can probably answer this decisively - I would try www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/s/8YrYncT0V4

Like others I'd be thinking carb or welding jet/nozzle of some sort but you say

The hole isn’t all the way through.

If there's really no hole at all of any size, not even a tiny pinhole at the narrow end, then I can't see how it can be a jet/nozzle.

Take a photo using your phone on
Google and it will identify them
