Need Help To Id Old Tools.

Recommended Posts

Im pretty new to leather work done it for about 4 months now. I bought lot of old figure carving & stamping tools off older guy that was his dads. He made belts for Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. I have two tools i really dont know anything about. Looks like they are made from heavy steel rod and square rod material. The round one is stamped RD. Looks like some kind of matting tool but does someone have example of use. The square one definitely dont know what it was used for. Here is pic.

Those look like hand made tools to me.

Both tools were made from standard 100 carbon steel stock The round one from drill rod and the the other from key stock. These were hand made with a file and a grinder. Both look like border stamps. If they work go with them. Look like nice stamps.
