    Hi,
    Trying to figure out what these are for - art projects?
    Some have Murray with a number on the handle but nothing comes up in a search.
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking

    Top picture:- 2nd from left may be a pattern tracing wheel, used in dressmaking.
    Far right may be a seam roller for wallpaper.

    Oh, a couple of those do look like pie edging or pastry cutting tool. Go komo!

    Sandra, I can see that too!

    Thanks Sandra!
    looks like they are for wallpaper - shows I've never wallpapered before:)
    Found some Murray Black wallpaper tools, the word Black is very hard to see on mine.

    Komo, we have houseguests (yet again) and I just put a cherry pie in the oven.

    Were you thinking of a pastry crimper?

    I didn't use one this time - I did a high, fluted edge instead!

    And though some of them anyway were originally made for wallpaper - my Mom had a collection of these that she used in pottery-making; whatever the source or original purpose, if it would make an interesting pattern in clay, she'd use it. So she'd have a collection including wallpaper tools, pastry crimpers, dress-making pattern-tracers, and stamps originally made for leather-work.

    Yes, they can be used for whatever you want:)

    The round pointy one is also known as a 'pounce' wheel.
    Works for fabric patterns and sign painting or cutting out any media to make anything.
    To do that you pounce the pattern and then rub snap line chalk through the holes.

    It is kind of funny that this little collection of tools reminds me of my Mom.
    A sweet memory, though. She enjoyed all kinds of crafts: pottery, leather-work, sewing and knitting, furniture refinishing. Played piano and organ and harmonica. Liked antiques and genealogy......

    I'd forgotten about that usage....from Middle French "ponce," pumice, in reference to the powder used in pouncing.
