I bought a bunch of tools and can't for the life of me figure out what they are. The black handle one and the tweezer looking thing are for roller jewel replacement. I can't figure out what the other tools are used for.. Ideas

In the second picture, the tool on the left looks like a canon pinion tightener.

Wynter,

Thank you very much for identifying the tools for me. The one you have a question mark by has me stumped also.. There is a small spring bar at one end. That spring bar sets down into a small groove.. I think it is a tool for setting roller jewels. I cant be sure..

I love to watch threads like this because horological tools are truly fascinating. Anyone who likes these tools as much as I do might be interested in this. I am ordering a book that lists, and illustrates thousands of horological tools from between 1700-1900. The book is authored and published by Ted Crom, is almost 700 pages with 1400 illustrations. I have looked through it and was most impressed. The cost of the book is $145 and $6 shippping in USA. The email address I have to order the book is 8609@alltel.net.
