Went to a Collectors/toy expo on friday.
Mostly cards, comix, Hot Wheels, but they did still have some swap meet collector booths.
This is what I came home with.
The last picture, I have no idea what they are for.
So I guess it's a "What is it???"
Looks to be hammered on the back handle.
Didn't pay much for them.
I think total was less than $40 from different booths.

The last one with the penny? My vote goes to fine detail leather working tools

Leather punches. The fork looking ones are to punch evenly spaced holes for stitching.

First one is a draw knife I think and the second one may be a bottle capper.

Second one is a bottle capper (beer bottles) or corker (wine bottles)

abunaitoo,
At these shows, do you see vintage hot wheels cars that aren't in packages?

What is the item in the box?

The item in the box is a watch tool. It's used to unscrew the backing off wrist watches. It has a 3-prong screw adjuster to equally offset the different pins used for different notches in the watch backs. There will be (3) identical pins in these sets.

The little tool in the package looks to be a black powder measure. Most likely for handguns.

The bottom set of tools are indeed leather punches used for stitching holes.

The leather tool sound correct.
Now, at least I know what it's for.
The knowledge of the members here is amazing.

abunaitoo,

There was lots of them.
Mostly in boxes where you have to dig through them to see what's in there.
When Hot Wheels first came out, I went crazy for them.
Had almost every one of the first few years.
Also had tracks, motor house, carry cases and other cool stuff.
All gone now.
Kind of wish I still had them.

Never owned a pull knife, so had to get it.
Bottle re-capper is correct.
Never seen on before, so had to get it.
Made in Italy.
Watch cover tool. Not sure why I got it, but it's a tool.
Black powder measure came with the leather tools.
$5 for all, so good deal.
I'll probably go back today.
Hope to find more interesting stuff.

You'd never touch the leather working tools for $5 at Tandy.
