They are the wrench handles for thread dies. Larger dies of probably 1/2” and up steel pipe or round bar. The die drops into the round part and the ratchet controlled the direction. I guess you did not find any of the actual dies.
Correct, I still have a couple with dies.

I think they are used on a farm to do something to a bull cow.

Here is a picture of a modern day Rigid wrench and die. Hope it gives you an idea of about what you may find. They will be pretty large.
I have an Rigid pipe die set exactly like this one but it is over 60 years old, I got it from my Dad around 1962-63.

Thanks. I just won a bet. I bet my friend that someone would ask, "what is a bull cow?".

Hope that was your purpose, because they look nothing like a set of emasculators.

What you have is a small part of a set of pipe dies; the complete set would look similar to those attached where were my dads. The handles and dies would vary based on the years

I also have that Bill but just didn’t take a pic of it.
When I bought a house with the old iron radiators the set of that I had from my father was put to good use. I did my own mantainence where possible.
They will never wear out. Say that about a lot of today's tools? Not realy.

According to Google the grips (plastic part) are used on many things and may be replacements for the originals. The company, Hunt Wilde was a maker of grips for bicycle handles, tool handles etc.
