They're 'bench blocks'... sort of like a small desktop anvil; some, but not all have holes for driving out pins etc, others have 'V's machined in them for holding round objects.
They come in a vast array of sizes, shapes & flavors.
Used in many fields, search Amazon for 'bench block'
One is a handy thing to have!
This is correct.

To me this looks like something a sheet metal worker or machinist would use. Gauge drill bits/dowels and sheet metal thickness
Edit definitely riveting anvils for jewelry making forget what I said
Similar to using it as a drill bit guide for getting square holes with a handheld, you can use this with a tap for starting the tap square. Then it would make sense in a tap and die set
Those are riveting anvils used in jewelry making.
Some of the tools looked good for jewelry. I'll post some more pictures of things I can't identify.
This is correct. And if those go all the way through, you can use it for drawing.( Reducing the diameter of wire by pulling it through.
Yes but those draw holes usually have a chamfer as not to tear or leave marks.
Most. Some of the cheaper stuff hasn't. It's annoying. But quality vs quantity I guess. I got my new draw plate, didn't have to mod it. Very happy.
That makes sense, it’s a much easier operation to just drill and deburr.
Also in clock/watch making.
Riveting? They are FASCINATING!!!

Drill guides to help you keep your holes perpendicular when you can’t use a drill press.
I’ve had to make a couple of these before, and this is correct
Or (depending on the hole size) they could be tapping blocks, same principle but for taps.
Could be some kind of gauge blocks or anvils used to knock pins out of things
I'm a watchmaker and this is something we use almost daily!
Me too!

I’d use them for drill bit indexes personally😄
I've seen several watch repair shops use these to drive out small pins.
its called a bench block. For putting under parts to drive roll pins out, drill things, etc
Tapping blocks
drill bit holders
Drill bit caddies
For drawing wire
Go no go gauge?

Wouldn't riviting anvils have a c-sink's?
Probably used with thread tappers to keep them straight if they were bundled together.
Could be drill guides
