Been having a clearout and found 2 items which I have no idea what they could be for. I got them when I bought an old mill a few years ago

First looks to be some sort of a toolpost grinding/milling/engraving spindle

Engraving spindle, driven by a round belt from a 'sewing machine' motor…

the second – maybe used to hold the engraving stencils on the table – sort of Pantograph machine?

If you search for images of Taylor Hobson Engraving machines you will see this part on some of them.
