Very old wire stretchers. Pic 1 is one I bought at a farm sale. Dated 1898 Canada and what I believe is Western Electric and marked Buffalo Grip in an circle No 1 in the center and an x below it. On an auction site I saw one advertised Western Elec.I have used this one just to see if it still worked In pic 2 I try to show the marks but it is barely viseable. Pic 2 & 3 are of another pretty much rusted away that I found on an old farm. No marks on this one. The old wire is some I bought in the 70's mounted on wood and these fell off. The rest and idenity is in storage. Thanks for looking
