Are these Pen turning supplies?

[Ruth Niles]

Has anyone ever seen these clips before? Are they something a penturner would use? And what is that black thing at the bottom of the picture.

 

[Ian Woodford]

They certainly look like pen kits, but what the black thing is I don't know.😕

Deer clips

they are indeed deer clips for slimline pens. the black object has me stymied.

The "black thing" looks like a pair of bicycle brake pads.

Except for the bit tying them together, they could almost be bike brakes...

They are pen clips and the black thing needs more photos to make out what it is. Looks like a spring mechanism.

Thanks everyone for the help. I don't have these items in my possession yet, they should get here tomorrow. I'm trying to Catch a Thief and will need all the help I can get from the woodturning world.

That was my thought.

The black thing is for holding two pens. This is very useful when you have a large number of documents to sign. By having two pens connected together, you can sign two documents at once.

Oddly enough, you might be right.

But I'd check with your PE registration board or bar association to verify its legitimacy. Exact copies of signatures raise suspicion.
