What is the function of these objects?

removing hot bread from the oven?

 

[LilMissPurrfect]

A mix between a cake server and a cheese grater?

 

[Pprey]

Spaghetti sorters or sand sifters for building a lego house.

Just had a thought(first one this year) milk skimmers for boiling milk.

 

[roadkill]

for applying plaster or drywall mud to make a design in it..most commonly use on ceilings or outdoor plaster board

If you sit on them do they play tunes when you fa.. break wind?

Equestrians used these to sort and mesure a hores tail for braiding.​

If I had one, I would probably use it as a pie server.

[squirt]

[Pprey]

Cream stirrers for making cheese.

 

[Bamber]

They are nothing to do with food and although nothing to do with any creature this...

...is the closest answer so far, in that they are used to measure and they may be found in a blacksmiths.

Well guys, been absent for a little while, so have just got back. Read through all the posts here, and I though cheese grater was very close, but after seeing what Bamber posted, and the 'may' be in a blacksmith's ~ I was thinking about what if that blacksmith was also a 'farrier' and therefore could they be 'farrier's rasps' for smoothing the horse's hoof before fitting the shoe?

As the granddaughter of a blacksmith I am very disappointed in myself for so not knowing what this is. I am a disgrace to my own kind.

Is it a bolster plate? (I even had to look up the english word as if it wasn´t already bad enough)

 

[Bamber]

Not bolster plates.
The holes are VERY important: that's what they are all about.

They wouldn't be associated with the main work of a blacksmith and some smiths will not have had any connection with them. They are to do with something metal.

 

[LilMissPurrfect]

I don´t know. An anvil tool to support or help punching holes. But if it isn´t a bolster plate then I have NO idea....

 

[squirt]

I would say strainers but that wouldn't measure anything
