Rip, Same thing crossed my mind.

But I also thought maybe some kind of emblem.

Found this website https://www.superscoutspecialists.com

And they have toy trucks, etc.
I e-mailed them to see if maybe they could be the maker of these.
Hopefully they will reply and we can either find out what these are or eliminate them as a possibility.

Doug

Definitely a mystery! Post it in th e"Ask Pappy" area and see if he can't figure them out! He is a little busyt right now with grandaughters being born but I think he is the best hope for solving what they are.

I've seen those designs before but can't remember where. I like the string inst. idea though.

Hope Pappy can identify them...but I'd say they're definitely "keepers" if for no other reason than the unusual design...HH!

I believe them to be old banjo tuning keys.
