    Hello, I could use some help with the 2 at the top. The piece at top seems to be made of aluminum or a pot metal. The handle on the one in the middle appears to be made from stacked leather rings. The tool at bottom with the red handle is stamped J-2767, and it is a windshield installer for rubber mounted glass . Thanks to the guys at Tool Talk for identifying the bottom one. Regards, lou

      The piece at the top is an antique fish scaler. They are usually cast iron.
      If the tip of the piece in the middle is purposely curved it is a burnishing tool. Otherwise it is general-purpose awl with a bent tip.

      Ron, must be some mean fish in your area if they require an iron scaler !

      Usta be shad, 'till they built the dams on the Susquehanna. You can find plenty of these tools on Google @ "antique fish scaler."

      Hello, Thanks for the replies. I was able to find a similar fish scaler. Re the burnisher, for putting a hook on a scraper blade?? Thanks, Lou
