I would guess a bone awl...used in leather craft....can't think they would have much to do with a commercial operation.

Probably more to do with weaving than with poking holes. Perhaps for blocking fabrics or pegging into shape before or after fulling.

Could it be a more recent version of pin-beaters used in pushing down the logitudinal threads in weaving?

They look like bone stilettos. These were used to to insert eyelets.

Could they be bobbins?

Thank you for the wonderful help and suggestions.

I think I'm leaning toward the bone stiletto or bodkin.

Much appreciated!

It's not a bodkin, because there is no way to use it to thread something.
I think Calliope's analysis is the most apt.

Thanks lindac. There are a few definitions of bodkin that are akin to the stiletto definition, no eye or threading as the primary function. Just a slender pointed tool used to make holes.

You have been most helpful.

I am not disagreeing with Calliope's analysis, just adding an additional term that I have discovered may be, in some cases, interchangeable.

I have another guess. Just a guess. Perhaps they are fids. A sailor's tool use for splicing rope. Old ones were often made from ivory or bone. The size looks right.

They look really cool, whatever they are.
