The silver thinbgs are used to fold strips of fabric when you are making braided rugs and I believe the wheel with "teeth" is a marking tool for sewing, I htink you use it with dress-maker's carbon paper.
Hope this helps. :)

The silver cone items are for making your own bias tape (see current issue of MaryJanes repairing quilts). Yes, the item with a wheel on it is for marking patterns with carbon paper...the REAL old fashioned way!
