I bought a large lot of Luthier tools, I know most items are but there are few items I have no clue on. I will post a picture here and there and ask for your help in identifying them. There are a ton of files, burnishes, knives, clamps and misc specialty tools. These first items remind me of ring mandrels but smaller than what a jeweler uses. My hand is for comparison. The second item looks like a peg shaver but it is a lot more tapered.

I am afraid that I feel like a pig looking at a watch face while perusing those photos; I am fascinated but have not a clue of their function. I particularly like the use of two adjustment screws on the “peg turner.” I bet you could do a tapering of a violin bow one section at a time by the proper manipulation of those screws.

Couple more unknowns
the first one has a wooden micrometer caliper style handle that pushes the metal plunger out to measure something. There is a tightening set screw to clamp onto whatever you’re gauging.
The next item is a hand crank for something. The hole is too small as is to insert a bow for lapping.
im sure this person had tools for other instruments... the one set of clamps are guitar sized.
