Vintage Cast Iron Shaping Tools with Maker's Mark

This photograph displays a matched pair of heavy, vintage industrial tools, likely used for shaping or forming metal or other materials. Their design, with a wide, "Y" or "U" shaped head and a narrower, rectangular base, suggests they are dies, swages, or specialized hammering heads intended to fit into a power hammer or large press. The tools have a significant patina of age, primarily covered in a layer of surface rust.
