Can anyone identify these castings please? Had them for years!They look as if they may be for some sort of tool. Perhaps to fit into vise jaws? Any sugestions welcome! Thanks Maurice

Could be a 3 point bender, they act like pyramid rolls except you loosen the vice and move the work a littel then retighten, repeat. Used something similar to curve the flat strip to wrap around my traction engine wheels

I was thinking along these lines Jason. Do they not tend to slip sideways in use, or are they retained in some way?

The ones I made clamp onto the jaws.

Wouldn't having the wider spaced jaws in one piece or mounted on a bar help?

The vice jaw acts as the "bar" to mount then on. Being able to close them up can help when bending a tighter radius.

Another project then, thanks.
