Based on page 135 and without knowledge if True Temper made a Philly Jersey I say it's a Baltimore Kentucky
 
Are them portholes in good shape?What's up with the swell on the Kaiser blade ,I can't see it some of them have the best ones.
 
Anybody know what the two wood handle thingies are in the lower left of Jblyttles haul. Picked one up recently and could never figure it out.

I believe that they are a type of cobbler's tool, they come in different numbered sizes but I am unsure what the exact use is.

Are the cobbler tools adjustable to a certain degree? They could be leather channelers for stitching. I don’t know anything special about cobbling but I saw descriptions of similar tools used to cut channels into the leather so a stitch could be set then the leather is folded over it to hide the stitching.

The sharp piece might pierce/cut the leather but not all the way through. If the screws adjust some then maybe the cutting depth can be changed given the thickness of the leather (so as not to cut all the way through?).

They almost look like they could some form of stitch groover.
