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! 😊

The lettering on the object on the left says:
Hadley Made in USA
Both ends open up to 90⁰ 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!

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

@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.
