Are these what I think they are?

My Pops told me he thinks these are rivet punches for removing said fasteners. You can't see in these pix but, it says 1/4 on the side. Thanks in advance for any info on these!

I don't see how they would work for that purpose.

To me, they look like the set used to install lead anchors in concrete.

1/2" Lead Anchor Set Tool

Nope, not for punching out rivets, especially with rounded ends. Usually use a standard pin punch the same size or one size smaller than the rivet being removed. After drilling off the head.....Phil.

Looks like what we used for snaps and rivets when doing leather work.

looks like the strike part of a 2 piece set used to install brass grommets in fabric. the missing part holds one of the 2 brass pieces then the other part is installed with a sharp blow. my 2 cents worth

Yep, the anvil part is missing - for putting grommits on tarps.

Royce is right. They're for setting lead anchors in concrete.

Gypsy Joe knows what he or she is talking about - leather and canvas both. I have worn out a few working in a sail loft.

Bi-oscillating fromulators for resetting the horizontal re-adjustment valve krenizarium. The krenizarium unit is under the bed. This was an advance from the stick with rope attached.
