I have had these for more years than I care to recall, they came to me in a lot of tooling that was all K.R. Wilson (all Model T and Model A tooling) and these have been rolling around in the bottom of the box all that time. Whether or not these are in fact KRW I do not know, I have no earthly idea what they are. I am certain it is something that I am just not seeing.
They are 12" in length with the main body being 7/8" in diameter. The shaft between the tapers is 1/2" and there is roughly 2" of space between the tapers. There are no markings anywhere on the pieces as to maker or ID of the tool and they are very nicely made and have a black oxide finish. There are no marks or damage on either one, as if they were ever put into a vise or beaten on, just dirty. Any help that anyone maybe able to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Might be that pair of rods could be used for this? Just guessing.

They'd be too short for a T axle. Maybe for a Model A axle???

Dan educate me. Would those rods be used for straightening the axle? Looks that way to me.

I always wanted to believe that is what these were/are for, but they are too short for both the Model T and A axle. The only point on a T axle that they might possibly fit is the upper hole on the yoke. The set that is shown in the photo posted by Dan, KRW was still selling/marketing the same set into the V-8 era, a really great tool.
