The first picture is one of the many designs of pallet stone setting tools. I've seen the other before but I'll have to get back to you on that one when I've had a think.

Ok I've put a minute's worth of thought into this and i think it might be some kind of tool that is used for repairing watches.

I think you might be onto something.

It was just a wild guess.

The 1st one is a pallet jewel warmer. The 2nd is a roller jewel warmer.

I've seem some online scans of the instructions that go along with HR's version of the second tool, which they call "Combination Tool" number 60 or 660, and they tout it as being used to:

- Set roller jewels

- Set pallet stones

- Hold jewels for cleaning or matching

- Function as a broaching holder for hands

- Function as an annealing tool

The long extension serves as the heating bar for the first two and the last, and then it's just a tiny set of self-retaining jaws for the other purposes.
