These came in a box of bits I picked up with a lathe a while back and for the life of me I have not been able to identify them. Please view the pic's.

Almost certainly sewing machine parts.

I suspect they are steel hardened and plated.

Example Link below is for a Singer 201 The classic machine found in many homes.
