Hi all,
picked up a couple of tools on the boot Sunday last for a quid a pop and cleaned them up . Ones a excellent little curved awl, has "HANDFORGED" stamped on one side of the blade and what looks like"GOODSONS" on the other in tiny tiny letters.

the others a bit of a mystery, all the other tools in the bucket were rusty plier hole punches so I think it could be for embossing tool for leather.
Anyone know what it is? No markings except a number 3.

No idea why it's upside down, photo bucket keeps doing that.

They are shoe makers tools, and look in good nick. The top is for marking leather soles.
