What are these things?

I saw these online, and the place that I saw them, they were trying to figure out what they were. I suspect someone here will know.

Peg and socket inserts I think but, for what material?? Wood?

This seems to be what these are. Male and female alignment pins/sockets which is, I think, basically what you said.

multiple random response to the original thread below.

looks like an assortment of dowel pops and alignment pins.

These are brass table leaf alignment dowels for aligning the add-on leaves of dinner tables when expecting guests for special occasions. I just threw some away that were in our daughter's dinner table she was trashing. These were used in more high end dinner tables back in the day.

Dowels for joining one half of pattern to other half. Female fitted first, the male placed in the Female with just the tips of the male showing, the two halves pressed together to leave a mark. The male dowels are fitted after a pilot hole is drilled. Retired patternmaker

My father was a pattern maker and some in his work shop. I think they are pins and sockets (like dowels) to I line up two half's of a pattern.
As I said I think!

pattern making dowels to match 2 halves

These are dowels for pattern making used many over my working life.Mainly used to dowel two halves together.

Dowels for wood patterns. As an ex patternmaker I used them many times

Used in patterns for foundrys there joint plugs for joining one half of pattern to other half i used them years ago

Those are punch diols. Used building doors and old time rocking chairs and an assortment of other wood working. I’ve got 3 sets of these that belong to my great grandad. He used them every day in his wood works shop

IDK, but this is what AI says. Is it correct?

Yeah, the post also included some soup search results which were also incorrect.

Jets of some sort? To make a pressurized fluid a mist?

Really cool, can't wait to find out what they do.

Hmmm.

I have dowel centering tooling for aligning hole centers for drilling. These are the type where you have the pilot marked or drilled one side then the discs center and mark the other board when clamped together.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761365831.jpg

Original items look like they’re meant to press fit and stay so, I don’t see them being used for patterning. Do look like they’re probably for table leaves though I’ve only ever seen wood dowels on leaves. Guess bougie tables might have used brass.

I think they are things that (back in the 80's) you drilled and stuck the blunt end into the bottom of your stereo speakers. It was so the sharp end got a good grip on the floor to stop movement.

Ha! Speaker spikes for better bass response! :D

Actually my Klipsch SW10 sub has spikes installed from the factory with plastic foot covers if you don’t want holes in your hardwood floors.

On a hunch I Googled “brass butt plug.” (I mean, why not?) There is such a thing, but Google took me down a rabbit hole (no pun intended). Apparently, someone makes a “Stainless Steel Dual Taco Holder Butt Plug.” I kid you not. Look it up.
