My first impression was there was enough metal there to be heated and the multiple in the set would mean the others could stay on the heat until needed. That way continuous use could be accomplished. So the application was next. I figured that the shape would lend nicely to a seam. So I figured veneer or leather. Then looking at the tools in the picture, I realized that there wasn't any debris or staining anywhere so I figured not a glue application. So my next thought was a leather burnishing iron. My first application that came to mind was leather like a saddle or in the old book binding. Then because of the plane of the flat surface compared to the handle, I would think there would be too many areas on a saddle the presser would not be able to reach. That settles me square into book binding press and polisher. Now you know how my brain works, see if google agrees.
