Hardening sterling silver by Kendall Davies

Question about jeweler's tools by R.H.
I bought some tools from the flea market and the seller told me that he thought that they might be jeweler's tools. I was hoping that someone here could take a look and maybe identify them for me, I looked on the web but didn't see anything like them. http://jtphotos.blogspot.com/ Thanks, Rob
