Hey friends, does anyone know what either of these objects are?
(They were found in a deceased relative's jewelry box.)
Please boost for added eyes, thanks! ๐Ÿ˜Š

The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90โฐ and the main body expands and contracts about a centimetre.

A clever person has said that the object in the right is a Writescope telescoping mechanical pencil. Thanks!

That looks a lot like a pocket compass to me.

That's what I thought! Several other ideas coming in as well and they also make sense.

Does the item on the left actuate? It looks like part of a sewing machine, maybe some sort of a hand held one?

Hhmmm. I'll ask. The bottom does look kind of like a sewing machine foot doesn't it?

@KarenDorman And the top looks like two "levers" that might be moved in opposition by grabbing each in a finger pinch to move a needle up and down. Not saying I know; it just resembles that.

@KarenDorman @sewing the one on the left looks like some sort of drafting tool. What does the lettering say?

I'm not sure, but a good question. I'll see if I can get a clearer picture sent to me.๐Ÿ‘

@KarenDorman @sewing Hadley used to make dress accessories, tie bars and such. It probably is some sort of dress accessory; the clip looks like it clips on to a pocket. You might try asking at a fancy menswear shop.

The non-tie clip is a collapsible pen that appears to be missing its cartridge. Pretty neat to run across!

@KarenDorman @sewing

On the left, a pocket sized punch or stitcher, I would think. Its use would be in workshops, possibly to hand correct stitching, for materials like light leather? Or could it be an imprint, at the base? For embossing a company mark on something, after inspection? But the basic action seems obvious.

On edit: It looks like a leather embossing disc at its base, and the metal hoop that holds on the bottom board makes it an edging device: My final answer? This is an embosser for dressing leather goods around the edge.

@KarenDorman @sewing Without knowing the exact size, I'm going with money clip on the one. Fold your bills in half and flip the top and bottom down to hold the bills. And on the front there is the pocket clip.
