Need help identifying these pins.
Thin steel rods and polished triangle steel bars with a brass tab with stamped codes.
Each ROD item has a different codes e.g. 11T 0513; 6 WHIT 2635; 8T 07042; 10 WHIT 197; ETC
Each TRIANGLE item has different codes e.g. 28-46 2620; 14-26 T 199; 28-46 T2619; ETC
Maybe engineering tools/gauges cos came from an estate of someone who used metal lathes/milling machines.
These may be service keys for elevator/lift maintenance people.
Blunderbuss2 ... don't think this that is right as there is no handle to turn the key, and what would the rods be used for?
Looking at some of the codes, they seem to be thread sizes (WHIT = Whitworth). Maybe for checking threads after using a tap or die?
Missiondad, I don't know ! I know several guys who work on elevators who have triangular rods that hang on their belts. I asked & was told that they were keys that fit in the panels of elevators to let them control it for testing & service. This isn't a bet, is it ? LOL !!
