they are fender rollers, of days past. They were used in the body business for accidents, instead of replacing or bondo. Do you want to sell them?

Eric, How wide is the C clamp part of the greaser? Looks like it may be a leaf spring greaser, spreads the leaves to allow you to force grease between the leaves. The two pin "bayonet" style grease fittings were out of date by 1928.
