🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Old brass woodworking punches?

This came from an old carpenter’s tool chest I believe. It’s roughly 4” wide and 4” tall with a slip-on wooden cap. The medal ‘punches’ are brass.

Been a carpenter all my life, No way these are used for wood. They would deteriorate in no time. Howver I have seen brass punches like this used for working leather often.

Again... they are not punches.

I have too, but they are not punches one would abuse, but used as drift punches .. we call them drift pins used for alignment purposes and not as a driving punch.

And once again… could you take them out, lay them on the table and post a few pictures from different angles?
